Riding mountain bikes from Höfn to Reykjavik over 300+ miles of Iceland's southern coast, the team utilized the Project M worm’s eye view immersive experience to draw inspiration from the places and people in order to unite design thinking and humanity endeavor. The goal? To identify and advance Icelandic enterprise. View the interactive tour on Track My Tour Once in Reykjavik, the team turned that inspiration into the concept of Share Cycle, an international, community-driven, eco-conscious laundromat and business incubator space that fosters conversation and cultural exchange. They shared this idea with locals and travelers in Reykjavik's downtown area. Conversations about the potential of Share Cycle were documented and will be implemented in the prototyping phase of the project. <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC4_1240.jpg" width="1208" height="1208" width_o="1208" height_o="1208" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC4_o.jpg" data-mid="19171436" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC1_1240.jpg" width="1208" height="902" width_o="1208" height_o="902" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC1_o.jpg" data-mid="19171428" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC2_1240.jpg" width="1221" height="912" width_o="1221" height_o="912" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC2_o.jpg" data-mid="19171430" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC3_1240.jpg" width="1208" height="902" width_o="1208" height_o="902" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3192161/SC3_o.jpg" data-mid="19171433" border="0" align="left"/> Share Cycle »Future Project Expedition: Iceland » Twitter » Facebook »Flickr » How might we inspire individuals to get out of their comfort zones to create global positive change?Future Project Expedition | Iceland In June 2012, a team of... http://futurepartners.is/Project-M http://futurepartners.is/following/futurepartners.is/Project-M Thu, 17 May 2012 18:32:16 +0000 Future 3325554 How might we equip individuals to dedicate their talents to the greater good?Project M | Planet Earth <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/mainimage_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1240" height_o="822" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/mainimage_o.jpg" data-mid="24990673" border="0" align="left"/> Project M, brainchild of Future co-founder John Bielenberg, is a program for people inspired to contribute to the greater good and looking for a platform to collaborate on ideas and projects bigger than themselves. Project M is designed to inspire and educate designers, writers, photographers, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs by proving that their work—especially their wrongest thinking—can have a positive and significant impact on the world. Project M has dedicated talent and ingenuity to support a conservation area in Costa Rica, provide relief to New Orleans after Katrina, enliven the community of East Baltimore, connect households to fresh water in Hale County, Alabama, and address the the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Alabama. Project M has also been the cradle for other powerful ideas to coalesce and accelerate, ideas such as NADA Bike, the Alabamboo Make & Ride, COMMON Hoops, and PieLab that have expanded and grown out of the M network. projectmlab.com <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/DSC_1143_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1280" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/DSC_1143_o.jpg" data-mid="17513483" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/2upV1_1240.jpg" width="1208" height="779" width_o="1208" height_o="779" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/2upV1_o.jpg" data-mid="17513451" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001038_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1280" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001038_o.jpg" data-mid="17513454" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001039_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1280" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001039_o.jpg" data-mid="17513456" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001105_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1280" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001105_o.jpg" data-mid="17513460" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001111_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1280" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001111_o.jpg" data-mid="17513465" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001210_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1280" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/001210_o.jpg" data-mid="17513474" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/DSC05000_1240.jpg" width="1240" height="822" width_o="1280" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/5/183781/3325554/DSC05000_o.jpg" data-mid="17513485" border="0" align="left"/> Project M in the News Shareable: 10 Years of Thinking WrongPSFKGOODCommunication ArtsMetropolis MagazineFelt and Wire Design ObserverCore77The GOOD 100New York TimesMetropolis How might we equip individuals to dedicate their talents to the greater good?Project M | Planet Earth Project M, brainchild of Future co-founder John...
