gDiapers

First to recommend

7 people recommended this item

Description

Disposable diapers are a great environment concern. Almost all of over 20 billion diapers sold annually go directly into a landfill somewhere in America.

That's why the gDiaper is a very innovative creation. The design is completely eco-friendly - the outer layer of each diaper is made of a natural water-absorbing polymer, extracted from trees. And the inner layers are made of soft, elemental chlorine-free fluffed wood pulp. The biggest advantage however, is apparent - the diapers are 100% bio-degradable and can be flushed down the toilet.

Patagonia Wetsuits

First to recommend

Description

I like this idea. The Patagonia wetsuit neoprene is made from 80% non-petroleum based ingredients, which decreases the dependency on the limited resource petroleum.

The neoprene rubber used for Patagonia Wetsuits has a 98% higher closed cell ratio than other suits, which adds dead air space and with it, warmth. Right now, the only place in the US to buy the suit is from the Cardiff-by-the-Sea Patagonia Store.

Senz Original Umbrella

First to recommend

19 people recommended this item

Description

The SENZ Umbrella has been designed to directly fill a need - to prevent a strong wind from turning an umbrella inside out. The SENZ team has redesigned the umbrella to be both stronger and more aerodynamic. The asymmetric shape keeps the rain from hitting the face, and it acts as a weather vane to help reorient the canopy for maximum protection.

Dryerballs

Description

I love using these in the dryer to fluff up my down comforters. However, my dogs have recently found the balls and think they are dog toys, making it very hard to fluff my stuff! (via John_and_Rose)
