Why do I never go on picnics? Probably because it's too much work. Well, this compact stainless steel food carrier and bamboo utensil set fits snugly into a Fair Trade Cotton Carrier Sling Bag. Seems too good to pass up.
The utensil cloth was "produced by WEAVE, a women's cooperative on the Thai-Burma border. By purchasing this utensil set, you will have contributed to their advancement and empowerment, and made a positive impact to global community."

Bamboo Compressed Towelette (10 pack)

First to recommend

Description

Another great alternative to paper towels. Each one unfolds into a 14x20 disposable towelette. The testers got 1-3 weeks out of each one. Kitchen, car, camping!
The only con is that there is a big Made in China stamp on the front; however, if we consider where bamboo flourishes, perhaps they can produce sustainable products.

No More Gas Lithium Battery Powered car

First to recommend

Description

With a name like "No More Gas" I think you get the picture. The last thing I expected though was to find out they are right here in Ohio! What a surprise. This is an all-electric, lithium battery-powered one-person car.
It can go 70+ mph on the highway.
Very curious this thing is.

Since I do not know about cars, I don't understand the statement that it it gets "45 mile range between charges". Does this mean that you can only go 45 miles? If so, perhaps this would definately work better in cities, but they don't even limit it to that, so there must be something I don't know. Not that I think fully electric cars are the sustainable answer to gas (oil is still required with electricity use), but it is an excellent way to save gas (1,000 miles on $20 of electric fuel!?!) and money and support alternative transportation means. They claim the one person capacity absolutely allows for 80% of our driving - to work and the store. I'd agree with that, plus you can use the HOV lane because it is legally "at full capacity" Sneaky!

Korin Sandclean Scrubbers

First to recommend

Description

I have not tried them, but anything biodegradable is good in my book. Not for delicate dishware, but good for everyday cleaning. Long lasting, compared to our disposable sponges.
Very funky, artsy and unpredictable! (via metaefficient.com)

Charlie's Soap - Laundry Powder

9 people recommended this item

Description

I've been using this for over a year now and I probably won't ever switch detergents again. For two people (with one whom goes through lots of clothes), two little bags have lasted us almost 6 months. I regret all those repeated purchases of big plastic tubs of chemicals. This comes down to common sense. A 3 lb. bag is good for 80 loads!

Description

I'm not all for expensive soaps, but Brad Pitt seems to have a bit of integrity when it comes to environmentalism, so I'll go ahead and bite.

This cleanser is 100% biodegradable, paraben/SLS/dye-free and Cradle to Cradle Certified. The bottle is 100% recycled material. Plus, ALL of the net profits goes toward "Make It Right" - an initiative to the construction of environmentally sustainable, affordable housing.

high cherry wedge platform sandal

First to recommend

Description

WOW~! That should be the name. When I read wood wedge I didn't have an elegant image, but this is exactly what these are! Art for the feet.
Change the way they are laced to wear an entirely different shoe the next day! Stil not impressed? Each one is handmade! (gotcha now, huh?)

You've got to check out the website to see all the different ways these can be laced. You won't belive your eyes!

Made of sustainably sourced cherry wood, this funky sandal is bottomed with a black recycled plastic sole and topped with a hand screenprinted 100% nylon "leather" footbed. To top is off, they come with an organza travel bag, a "how to tie" booklet, and reusable shoe box. (via Ideal Bite)

Intermatic WH21 Electric Water Heater Timer

First to recommend

Description

It gets great reviews on easy installation and savings of approx. 33% on electric bill. Many users say they have the water heater set to be on for only 4 hours a day (around peak usage) instead of 24! Sometimes I wonder why logic has to be bought!

Looks like these are easy to find around Amazon and maybe your local store. (via Ideal Bite)

nomadneedles :: Worm Composting Bag

First to recommend

Description

How could this cute little thing be a vermicomposter? For those with less space (or less an inclination for the "typical" worm composter). Love it and will probably order one, as I am tired of actually throwing away my scraps ~ that don't get frozen for stock.
