Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with mystifying, instructive, and annoying stuff found all over the Internet.

For those who don't know me yet, I help brands, companies and institutions to achieve their goals, improving their online presence. I am Italian, but based in Barcelona.

Every month, a customer receives an empty box of a particular shape and size with return postage included. The box contains a message taken from ancient philosophical wisdom about the power of letting go of painful objects and memories. The user puts whatever they wish into the box, and posts the box back to EMTI. EMTI then takes responsibility for disposing of the object in the most thoughtful, sustainable way possible. Plastics are recycled, clothes are upcycled or mended, books are donated to appropriate libraries. (EMTI doesn’t exist)
