Best of the Month - Vol. 16

Best of the Month - Vol. 16

Sooo we just checked and we're exactly two thirds of the way through 2018... It's okay though because at Tens it's summer FOREVER, and we're still chilling by the pool so grab a towel and an icy drink to sip on. August has been full of wonderful stuff, and we've put together some of it right here for you to consume with your summer cocktail of choice.

Enjoy!

Lego unveils sustainable bricks made from sugarcane as brand continues eco overhaul. We're pretty sure they're still not edible though, unfortunately.

This one's pretty self explanatory... it's called Swimply and it's like Airbnb for swimming pools! 

A company called 'Plastic Whale' in Amsterdam is now offering canal boat tours with a catch (literally). As part of the tour, you take part in plastic fishing for litter in the canal. We're very on board with this.
