NOE MAGA
EDITION OO
NOE MAGA is a magazine that offers something worth reading – something real, relevant, and personal to all of us. In early 2020, a collaborative design project led to the development of this magazine, which is centered around the crisis of global garbage pollution. Future issues will feature authors from around the world who will share their real-time perspective, research, and experience.

PLASTIC PLANET BROCHURE
Plastic pollution is a serious crisis that affects not only a few communities but the entire world. It poses a severe threat to our planet. While it may not be possible to cover all the information on this topic in one brochure, we have created a brief overview of plastic pollution for you to read.
This brochure was the starting point of “Global Garbage,” now known as “The Real Global Garbage.”

TIPS & TRICKS
SHOP DIFFERENT
Consumer power is real. Our purchasing habits dictate what industries produce more of. If we buy more plastic, this signals to the plastic and oil industries to extract more oil, produce more plastic, and sell more plastic. However, if we buy less plastic, we withhold our money from these industries. The bottom line is to “consume less”.
SPREAD MOTIVATION, NOT FEAR
It is easy to get worked up and worry about the crisis of garbage pollution, and unknowingly spread fear to your friends. Instead, here is an easy tip; lead by example. Share videos, pictures, and articles that show the reality of garbage pollution, and motivate them with real facts. Actions will follow.
