I saw the idea of linking to the source that was one of the prototypes from my master thesis in one anime serie (Net Ghost PiPoPa). The basic idea is the same, to use ict to create a link between the individual product and its producer in the moment of buying.

The food is tagged, in this case a QR code.

The screen at the shop plays a video of the producer telling the story behind the food.

Using persuasive techniques for (short term) beavioral term. Well done (at least as ad stunt). Check the video.

5 hours of sunlight => 1 extra day of reading. I like it. It is however confusing if it’s a hack to the existing sony reader (I would like that) or if they are working in their own device.

Good Guide, empowering consumers, making data transparent through ICT. I like it. Check their iphone app too.
