Eat your (sea) greens by Jonah Coleman Osawa

HVAD? Et webunivers af tang.

HVORDAN? De danske farvande bugner af sund og velsmagende tang, men de færreste danskere ved, hvordan man omsætter tang til mad. Derfor har designeren skabt et website med et fristende tang-univers, fyldt med metoder, opskrifter og historier, der skal lokke mere tang ned.

HVORFOR? Gennem hele sin opvækst i sin japanske familie på Hawaii har tang været et naturligt og elsket element på menuen for designeren, både på restauranter og derhjemme. Da Danmark, ligesom Japan og Hawaii er omgivet af hav, har det undret ham, at danskerne ikke benytter sig af denne oplagte ressource, frisk fra egen vandkant.Tang absorberer mere CO2 fra atmosfæren end træer, og kombineret med et væld af sundhedsmæssige fordele gør det denne naturresource til noget af en super-fødevare, som vi bør spise meget mere af.

WHAT? A web universe of seaweed.

HOW? The Danish waters abound in healthy and tasty seaweed, but few Danes know how to turn seaweed into food. That's why the designer has created a website with a tempting seaweed universe, filled with approaches, recipes and stories to lure people to consume more seaweed.

WHY? During his upbringing in his Japanese family in Hawaii, seaweed was a natural and beloved item on the menu for the designer, both at restaurants and at home. Since Denmark, like Japan and Hawaii, is surrounded by the sea, he was surprised that Danes do not take advantage of this obvious resource, fresh from their own water's edge. Seaweed absorbs more CO2 from the atmosphere than trees, and combined with a host of health benefits, it makes this natural resource something of a super-food that we should eat much more of.
