GreenPan ™ Sauté Pan

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Not only do the coatings of non-stick pans contain toxic compounds which break down when heated at high temperatures, but they also emit ozone-destroying greenhouse gases at the same time! I know, now even cooking is bad for us and the environment. Crate and Barrel has come up with an alternative...

This "green" cookware is finished in Thermalon ™, the first patented ceramic-based, nano-composite non-stick coating that performs at temperatures up to 850 degrees without deterioration. Thermalon ™ releases 50% less greenhouse gases during production, and contains no toxic substances that might be released at high temperatures.

With its heavy-duty aluminum and stainless steel construction, you sacrifice nothing in performance and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time! (via crateandbarrel.com)

Flyswatter - Design Within Reach

First to recommend

Description

Educated at Stockholm’s University College of Arts, Crafts and Design and the Denmark’s famed Århus School of Architecture, Lovisa Wattman set out to design a humane Flyswatter that stuns rather than squishes insects. The synthetic bristles are easy to clean, and the Flyswatter can be hung on the wall until the next bug buzzes by. Shoo, fly. Made in Sweden.

This may come in handy for me, as I house a few carnivorous plants. They wouldn't might dining on a few fresh stunned bugs. (via dwr.com)

Airfree Platinum 2000 - Mold & Germ Destroying Air Purifier 550 sq.ft.

First to recommend

Description

This is the filterless air purifier which uses heated air to destroy airborne mold, bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and pollens. Unlike commonly available ionic units, it does not produce harmfully elevated ozone levels; it also reduces existing indoor ozone, which the America Lung Association indicates can be a serious respiratory irritant and asthma trigger.
