Bookshelves and bookcases built from discarded hardcover books by Jim Rosenau : eco-artware
Jim Rosenau rescues discarded hardback books from imminent destruction and transforms them into bookshelves and bookcases. Because the book supply varies, no two shelves are alike. The lumber inside his bookshelves comes from discarded futon frames and other salvage.

My market bags look bad. Really bad. They are generic and tearing and old. I love these market bags! They're cute and each one holds about 2 plastic bags worth of goodies!

This particular design has a silicone lid that securely attaches to the cup. The outside is matte and the inside is glazed. I prefer a version that Starbucks put out a few months ago. Their version is pretty much the same, but the outside is glazed (and of course has their logo) and the lid is plastic with a silicone liner to keep liquids sealed in. The key difference between the two is the price. "I Am Not A Paper Cup" is roughly $20 and the Starbucks version is $12. The upsides to either is that if you are a daily coffee drinker, you don't have to trash a paper cup and plastic lid every time you get take-out coffee. The downside is that both of them hold about 8 oz. - not favorable if you normally order a "grande" at Starbucks. Another issue for commuters is that it is not spill-proof or splash-proof. And finally, the Starbucks version CANNOT go into the microwave.

Lightweight, portable, waterproof, reusable, affordable. This assortment of 5 eco-friendly and oh-so-sleek Envirosax are rolled up in a carrying pouch small enough to stow into a glove box or a handbag. With reinforced seams, each surprisingly large bag holds the equivalent weight of 2 supermarket plastic bags. The very modern "Monochromatic" design is great for guys and gals

This one in blue and green called the Earth Sigg Water Bottle is really big, like 33 oz. big! By filtering my own water and filling up a Sigg instead of purchasing water in a plastic bottle, I'm not only saving myself money, I'm helping to save the environment!

I really admire people who do good things and do their part for the environment. I know its what everyone talks about these days, but how many companies can say that they use solar power and compostable toilets? They are raising the bar for everyone and that is awesome. I loved ALL the clothes on their site. they have a fresh, funky yet sexy appeal. I would buy them all if I could. I could live the rest of my life in those styles! Damn, so awesome!~!! www.slingfings.com.au

The bristles, handle, and packaging are made from completely recyclable materials, while the handles are actually made with 100% recycled plastic, sourced mostly from Stonyfield yogurt cups – a great example of reuse. Plus they come in bright, fun colors, and the packaging is limited to a clear canister with a lid so it can be reused as a storage container for travel.

These really stylish trainers are my favourite comfortable shoes and great for day to day wear. They look great, are made ethically of recycled materials, and get the message across to friends who admire them.

I noticed them when they teamed up with the German postal services and sent out envelopes for free cellphone recycling. I sent them my old and first cellphone (though...) for recycling.
