Who?
Lina Fenequito and her team have developed the Swap-O-Matic.
What?
The Swap-O-Matic is intended to inspire all of us to rethink our consumption habits, and con- sider more sustainable methods such as trading and reusing goods. The machine’s retro design and user-friendly interface makes the Swap-O-Matic a powerful, iconic symbol that gets people excited and talking about their own personal consumption habits.
On a much larger scale, the ultimate goal is for the Swap-O-Matic to inspire a movement, affecting change for large numbers of people and communities as trading and reusing re-emerges as a means for increasing local sustainability, reducing waste, and reigning in overconsumption.
