Good ideas are contagious. At least that’s the idea behind Ecopop.com. Chad Rea — who coined the term “eco pop” in 2006 to describe new companies that have an edgy image — collects real-life examples of innovative ideas. From design to home and garden, he uses these examples as a starting point for the public to discuss, show and even come up with some of their own. It’s a social experiment in a virtual world with the end result hopefully being new ways to better our lives. Ecopop.com adds water to the flowing fountain of inspiration, and this is where they go to play and conceive. Thankfully, it’s a quick population growth that doesn’t need too much fostering.
