great project: The eco-friendly vuvuzela

One of the things you'll literally see everywhere in South Africa during the 2010 World Cup is the vuvuzela. The majority of them will be made of plastic, some tine ones will (the traditional "football" vuvuzela) around and some others will be home-made.

K.E.L.P (Kelp Environmental Learning Project), founded by Adam Carnegie, is a great initiative using kelp (large seaweeds belonging to the brown algae) to produce hand-made, environmet friendly and unique vuvuzelas. The mission of K.E.L.P is acutally quite simple - “We want to create jobs, make a noise, make people laugh, remind people to be in the moment.”
