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.

American Lawn Mower Company 18-Inch Reel Mower

5 people recommended this item

Description

Accoridng to MSNBC, push mowers has increased to 350,000 sold per year, which is 100,000 more sold than 5 years previous. The American Lawn Mower Company believes it's due to eco-conscious consumer.

I have one of these at home. My gardener tends to forget certain portions of my yard, so I had this neat idea of mowing those areas myself. Well, I couldn't figure ouit how to use it, so I gave up and bought a weedeater. I'm so lame. (Hey, it has a safety mechanism that locks. It is tricky to unlock without the instructions manual, which I conveniently lost, of course.)

Still, I love the push mower. It's such a classic. (via msnbc)

Gaiam - Compost Bucket

Description

This is a stylish indoor, under your sink kind of compost bin. It keeps the odors out of your kitchen, and inside the bucket! It's not that expensive at $18 either. Great addition to your kitchen to keep everything smelling nice.

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.
