Today, we’re talking about something cute, sustainable, and self-efficient (no, not you). 

Earthships— built partially into the earth with all the recycled materials you can think of (tires, metal, wood, etc) earthships are designed to be 100% sustainable and provide electricity, water, effective sewage systems, and food production.

Architect Mike Reynolds designed the first Earthship in the 1970s during the energy crisis. Today, there are over 3,000 Earthships globally, and since the pandemic, are on the rise and being sold as an “oasis for self-sufficiency”, as well as a solution to the worsening climate and housing shortage.

Drop what you’d name your Earthship Homestead below:

According to Britannica— “the uncanny valley, is the theorized relation between the human likeness of an object and a viewer’s affinity toward it. The hypothesis originated in a 1970 essay by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori, in which he proposed that as human likeness increases in an object’s design, so does one’s affinity for the object—but only to a certain point. When the likeness nears total accuracy, affinity drops dramatically and is replaced by a feeling of eeriness or uncanniness. Affinity then rises again when true human likeness—indicating a living person—is reached. This sudden decrease and increase caused by the feeling of uncanniness creates a “valley” in the level of affinity.”

Btw, Happy Valentine’s Day from the team at Redscout.

“Fashion is incredible when it motivates people to build unique identities, not follow trends blindly. In that sense, style should be effortless, but that is not always true.”

We love to see Scouts diving into culture. So when we saw ’s, “Black Cool” a report inspired by black trendsetters on how fashion can make doing better for people and the planet cool, we had to share.

Give it a read at the link in our bio and let him know what you think.

So proud to announce our collaboration with Ad Council, Gill Foundation, and Crispin Porter + Bogusky to launch “Beyond I Do” to raise awareness about the remaining prevalence of discrimination against LGBT Americans.

“We wanted to be clear and non-judgmental with the message that we are all just human
beings and yet some of us are denied basic rights,” said Redscout Founder and Chairman Jonah Disend. “Through real stories, the campaign is exposing the fact that in most states the right to marriage wasn’t a golden ticket to equal rights for LGBT Americans.” Learn more at: http://ow.ly/2bnz30jyuBS

Our Story

Founded in 2000, Redscout is a brand strategy, design & innovation agency dedicated to transforming the futures of ambitious brands & businesses.

We are 80 strategists, designers, and technologists, but every one of us is a Scout.

We believe that the best way to change a consumer’s perception of a brand is to change the way they experience it.

We ask provocative questions until we unlock a new way to see a consumer, a brand or an organization. We don’t just solve problems, we’re experts in them.
