Chiara Goose’s ‘Cardboard Baggage’ is a fun way to put [recycled cardboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-guitar-1) to good use. Recycling cardboard to make more cardboard is a boring way to save the world.

‘Cardboard Baggage’ looks pretty legit. It’s the same size as regular luggage, but it reconfigures to look even cooler than said regular luggage. Hopefully it is waterproof—I’d hate to get my clothes ruined by a few drops of rain. I guess wet clothes would be worth it to save the world.
