Michael Hemsworth Discusses Eco-Friendly Christmas Gifts
DIY Living, a furniture store based in Singapore, has come up with an innovative new way to provide their customers with eco-friendly Christmas gifts, which come free with each purchase. Every piece of furniture purchased from DIY Living comes in cardboard packaging, which can be reused and transformed into furniture instead of being tossed out with the trash.
Michael Hemsworth, also known around the office simply as “Hems,” talks about this green sustainable solution, as well as his early childhood dream of becoming a dinosaur. He's sadly aware it's impossible. Hemsworth is a Journalism and Social Media Intern at Trend Hunter for the fall 2012 round.
