Hvis Hanne og hendes rødder savner flere perlevenner, er de meget velkomne til 1508. Vi introducerede nemlig konceptet perlevenner for et år siden.

1508 has designed a new service called “Hero’s Journey” for people with the chronic disease COPD to the health clinic, Frederiksberg Sundhedscenter. The service, which aims to help these people to self care so that the disease does not worsen, consists of a comprehensive rehabilitation process and provides a framework for an interdisciplinary process that satisfy the special needs and demands of the COPD citizens. The concept is targeted at citizens in the labor market with mild to moderate COPD. The service process includes knowledge and tools to create a consistent life for people suffering of COPD. In short, to equip and motivate COPD-citizens to do self-care and achieve a better quality of life, thus managing to stay in the labor market.

The overall concept for the rehabilitation process is groundbreaking in its approach, since it addresses a citizens with COPD as heroes rather than scoundrels. The concept is based on a dramatic grip called “Hero’s Journey” which is an archetypical course of events within the fictitious world. “Heroes Journey” requires a positive framework for the process rather than a negative focus on the disease. The concept thus initiates a shift in paradigms in the healthcare system, specifically among workers at the health center where the COPD citizen will be seen as “a whole person” or as a “hero” on a journey towards a difficult goal with helpers and tools to his or her disposition. 

The dramatic grip helps the professionals to understand the citizen’s mental state during the process and help the citizen fight his enemies by providing the right tools at the right time. It also helps the Sundhedscenter to set up the right team to each individual citizen and to include relatives and friends as part of the rehabilitation process. The concept grounded on the dramatic grip and the educational tools address a problem characteristic of many COPD citizens, namely the feeling of standing alone, being stigmatised and not regarded as a whole person. The citizens can access the service in many ways and it can easily be adjusted to their work situation etc.

There are about 780 citizens with COPD in Frederiksberg Municipality. The cost of taking care of these citizens is estimated to 82,959,240 kroner a year. At a regional level, this group costs more than 110,000,000 kroner a year. The estimated economical savings of “Hero’s Journey” amounts to somewhere between 300-380 mio kr. a year at the regional level.

“Hero’s Journey” has just been nominated to INDEX Award 2009 – the largest design award in the world.

CNN kører for tiden en programserie, der sætter fokus på bæredygtighed - også på kontoret. 10 grundregler for at optimere miljøet er:

1) Keep a mug at work for coffee rather than using disposable cups.

2) Switch to using long-life refillable pens made from recycled plastic, paper or timber, or from fully biodegradable bioplastic (derived from cornstarch).

3) Choose recycled paper, rather than paper made from virgin timber - it makes up 70 percent of office waste.

4) Set your printer to double-sided copies to save paper.

5) Keep a paper recycling tray in addition to your waste bin.

6) Bring your own lunch to work in a reusable container to reduce packaging waste.

7) Remove your phone charger from the power point when not in use, as it continues to consume up to 40 percent of the current used to charge your phones.

8) Set your computer to sleep if you are away from your desk for more than 10 minutes, which reduces power consumption to about 5 percent of full operating power.

9) Look to maximize the natural light in your office, rather than relying on artificial light.

10) Join the environmental or sustainable committee in your workplace. If one does not exist, take the initiative and form a green task force.

Soya til printeren og print-programmer

Et firma, the green office  har specialiseret sig i miljørigtige kontorprodukter, med blandt andet soya-blækpatroner og miljørigtigt møblement. Vigtigst er dog ift digitale medier at nedbringe printressourcer. Fineprint og HPs Smart Web printing skærer reklamer ud af prints, mens værktøjer som greenprint fjerner sider, der ellers ville blive skrevet ud som tomme sider. Samtidig er der muligheden for at fjerne billeder og unødige sider, som gør dig i stand til at spare blæk.

Mulighedernes verden

Det er en overvejelse værd, om fremtidens ‘print’ knapper på hjemmesider i virkeligheden skal fokuserer på miljørigtige udprints, for at styrke den pågældende virksomheds miljøprofil….og om powerpoints med mange farver og få bulletpoints (mange sider) bliver en del af baggrunden for at vælge et bureau frem for et andet. Bare en tanke.
