on the moon - in which man went to the moon and left some stuff behind

As you know, I am bothered by litter.

Doing some research on the topic I discovered that there is quite a lot of litter (trash) in space, and also on the surface of the moon.

I decided to make a digital book on the topic, using Adobe Publish Online.

This is currently a virtual book; it only exists digitally. Given that it is about litter, it felt appropriate to make a zero impact book.

The pages are shown below, but you will get a much richer, page turning experience if you click on this link.

  1. Thank you for highlighting this information; I am appalled, but not surprised. I really like your book, its design and that it is digital - powerful message. I've written a post about it on my blog in order to spread the word a wee bit further. https://threadingthoughts.blogspot.com/2019/03/wrestling-with-myself.html

  2. Thank you for the share, Olga. I don't think we should stop making physical work; it is part of a creative need. But for this project I felt digital was the right way to go. I still prefer a paper book that can be held in the hand, and the turning of the pages makes the read more meaningful. There will always be a dilemma about waste, but my main desire is to keep a discussion going, and you have contributed to that!

    thank you
