Water Powered Clock
16 recommendations
"This is cool -- a water-powered clock you can stock up with beer! (yes, and any other form of electrolytic fluid) Feel unreasonably eco-conscious and responsible while doing absolutely nothing with excess alcohol"
LifeStraw
14 recommendations
"To add a bit of perspective to this designer water collection, while we marvel at all the different ways water can be presented to us as a lifestyle product, there are billions of people, that not only can't afford a bottle of water on a salary of a dollar a day, but don't even have access to safe water to drink. This is where Lifestraw comes in, as one of the products that was specifically des..."

Preserve Paperstone Recycled Paper Cutting Board
1 recommendation
"Wow, this is too cool! This cutting board is made of 100% post consumer recycled paper. Yes, you read that right- paper! Amazing! It has the look and feel of a charcoal gray stone of some sort, is dishwasher safe, and sturdy enough to withstand years of use. Incredible what they can do these days with recycling!"
Deluxe Electric Leaf Shredder
1 recommendation
"What a shame to put all those nutrients into plastic for the curb. This may be more for those with more leaves. No bags, no waste. Not for branches and such. Put mulch directly on garden in autumn or put into composter for spring beauty. What a great way to show kids how the earth replenishes itself."
English Tip Bags
1 recommendation
"Take it from someone who works in a small yard, these would be well-recieved gifts. For leaves, weeds or anything else we do in the yard. These can be easily dumped at the local recycling center (if you find one that accepts yard waste). Polypropylene. Large and medium."
Wire Bin Composter, 3 bin composter
1 recommendation
"If you don't know the beauty of leaf mulch, then I'm here to tell you: It's fabulous! Recycle your leaves for delicious nutrients in the spring. Small yard owners need not make excuses - this is for you! Better than chicken wire, as this is supposed to not rust."
Epicurean recycled cutting board
1 recommendation
"Here's another great way to bring more green influences into the home and kitchen. The new line of "Recycled Cardboard" is wonderful. As the name suggests these surfaces are made with recycled cardboard, giving them a warm, natural nutmeg appearance. This is stain and heat resistance, knife kindliness, and has the ability to be washed in the dishwasher. What more could you ask for?"

"Did you ever see that episode of Oprah when she removed all disposable cups for her staff's coffee? She was really on to something.

The sleek and smooth design, the double-wall insulation, and stainless steel keeps your coffee hot in style. The SoftSpot comfort grip handle..."
Bisphenol-A Free 24oz Water Bottle - Aladdin
1 recommendation
"This is another great bpa-free bottle from Aladdin. Not only does it hold 24 oz, it's dishwasher safe and shatter, stain, and odor resistant. It also fits great into a bike rack and it's still small enough to fit into the smallest of totes."

Sun Oven Solar Ovens and Enamel Roasting Pot
1 recommendation
"I admit, this is more of a curiosity to me. However, perhaps it could be a viable option to outdoor grilling. Sunlight enters through the glass door, while the black inside transforms it to heat. Bake, boil or steam similar to the rate of a conventional oven without ever burning. Collapsible and only 21lbs. Ok, so maybe I'm convincing myself to get one now! How awesome for camping or t..."

Plenty Magazine - Environmental News and Commentary
1 recommendation
"This magazine is the BEST - I'm going to cancel my Smithsonian, just to get it (don't want to get more paper than I have). The articles are great and best of all...the advertisements aren't supported by some gas guzzler - they are actually sustainable and green ads. Very nice"
