“Creativity occurs outside of the legitimate, status quo system and is often in direct conflict with that system.” - Judith H. Heerwagen (2002)
The Creative Consumer
The Challenge is to take responsibility for the objects we buy or receive and to become a steward of the resources that have been used to create them. Waste is a concept we can no longer afford.

Professor Emma Robertson tells us that there are many aspects to creativity but 'one would include the ability to take existing objects and combine them in different ways for new purposes'. And this, in essence, is the challenge next time you hold one of your "toys" in your hand ready to put it into the rubbish bin.
