Cooler Choices - Biodegradable Baby Diaper

First to recommend

Description

I just don't have it in me to do cloth diapers (even as much as I want to be sustainable and eco-friendly). But At $12.99 a pack of diapers, the price is higher than I'd pay at Walmart but gosh, I sure could let go of my guilt about not doing cloth diapers! Great compromise toward living more sustainably! This would also be a great gift for the expectant mother. I'll bet most people don't even know there is a biodegradable baby diaper option available!

Aqua Sentry

First to recommend

Description

This is a really cool wireless moisture sensor for your lawn. It tests the soil and when working with the Melnor Aqua Timer it automatically waters only when necessary so you can conserve water. Very cool gift for the lawn enthusiast / eco-conscious dad.

Gaiam - Compost Bucket

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Composting can be a smelly operation. This bucket is a wee savior. Small enough to fit anywhere, it’s charcoal filters keep kitchen scraps absolutely odor-free between trips to the outdoor compost pile.

Pictured bucket is twice as tall as the baby unit I purchased. (via www.gaiam.com)

Envirosax Reusable Grocery Bags

134 people recommended this item

Description

Wow! This is perfect for a New Yorker that shops at several different grocery stores in the same day. I know that I will get some things from Fairway, then walk down to Food Emporium and finish off at Whole Foods and I like the idea of consolidating everything in this strong, pretty, eco-friendly bag.

Cool Hunting: Simplehuman Grocery Bag Holder

4 people recommended this item

Description

Cool twist on being more sustainable (if you still use plastic). I reuse my plastic bags as trashcan liners, so this would be a great way to save space and store them.

Collapsible European Market Tote

16 people recommended this item

Description

I have one similar to this (though not as pretty), its fantastic for picnics, and stores really easily. ALSO you can throw it in your trunk and its great for holding things//keeping things from rolling around while you are driving.
Very versatile and easy to use, great thing to have on hand!
