The very Pacman-esque O! Cap is a eco-friendly bulb cap which provides a calming color and fragrance. The scented silicon O! Cap comes in an assortment of colors and fragrances including: orange with mandarin aroma, green with lemongrass aroma or purple with cherry blossom aroma. The scent is emitted after fake Packy is placed over an eco-friendly bulb.
Screw the scent and the bulb. I just really dig the Pacman resemblance. Wakka wakka.
Like many of you, I’ve accumulated more eco fabric tote bags than I know what to do with. There is just no way I’d ever buy enough groceries to fill all of these things. So instead of wasting perfectly good fabric, why not use the bags to create something you’ll actually use?
These DIY eco tote bag pillows are an awesome way to recycle your eco-friendliness. The bags might not be made with the most comfortable material, but even sandpaper is managable if stuffed with soft fluff.
While the Abisko Washbasin does a fine job of encouraging water conservation, I’d one-up this design and go a bit further. You see, the Abisko Washbasin uses an angled design which allows wasted water to flow its way down through a drainage grill installed in the floor.
If you really wanted to encourage people to conserve water, you have to appeal to their common traits, such as laziness. Remove the drain grill and allow the wasted water to just splash all over the damn floor. I guarantee that people would waste a lot less water just because they are too lazy to clean up their wasted mess.
Saving the planet and Star Wars. What more could a geek want? Other than a Lucy Liu sex-bot, of course. The Jedi were always the ones that came off as the treehugger type. Darth and the rest of the dark side didn’t have much consideration for natural beauty. Perhaps never more evident than when he blows up Princess Leia’s beautiful home planet of Alderaan just because he felt like it.
When will the Galactic Empire learn that nature will always survive, no matter how many Death Stars you build. Are you green Jedi and proud of it? These Green Star Wars Tees from Zazzle are surely right up your alley if you’ve ever been a fan of the Star Wars universe. Admiral Ackbar would be proud.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to save the Earth. These 60 Bags are an awesome line of biodegradable carriers which degrade in about two months, or 60 days. Aptly titled, huh?
Made and developed in Poland, the bags are manufactured out of a flax-viscose non-woven fabric (which actually sounds pretty edible if you happened to be on a desert island with only a crate of these things, but just in case, I’d test it on a child or small animal first.) Not only does the fast degrading process help save the Earth in a very real way, but it’s also cheaper than sending long-life materials to the landfill.
Cellphones are a great convenience for us, but not so great for Mother Earth. See, cellphones pack lots of toxic, non-biodegradable chemicals and components. That’s why Samsung created Blue Earth, a cellie made from recycled plastic bottles that can be charged via solar panels on the back of the device. It’ll text, it’ll call, it’ll even tell you how many trees you’ve saved in a day; just don’t call it a phone. Wait, what?
The best part? The Blue Earth will actually go into production this year, unlike half the cool phones we hear about on the web. Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it. But make sure you compost the ashes!
The Department of Transportation for NYC is working closely with the Office for Visual Interaction to try and replace all of the cruddy old street lamps desecrating the city’s power supply and visual appeal.
These ultra-efficient LED lamps possess multiple light lenses which provides the surroundings with two light sources for each lamp. With less power usage and a longer lifespan, New York will be getting more bang for their buck. Conserving energy is nice, too.
I’ve got a problem with designer Franco Marino Cagnina’s external hard drive concept. It’s not the fact that it’s 100% recyclable which gets to me, that’s just fine and dandy. It’s the fact that it looks exactly like a cup which really bothers me.
That’s not to say I don’t approve of a design change over the traditional square box with cables that is typical of most hard drives. I know, by looking at this design, that it’d be mistaken for my morning coffee and dumped in the trash with the rest of the garbage. So much for my terabytes of porn.
At Gearfuse, we’re all about world firsts. World’s first person to not shit after drinking a gallon of prune juice or world’s first ninja dog are the kinds of world firsts we’re used to seeing. How about the world’s first energy generating revolving door?
That’s the idea behind this revolving door built by Boon Edam. It harvests the kinetic energy of a crowd of people passing through a door. This simple action is expected to generate around 4600 KWH of energy each year, which is plenty of energy considering the source. Stick one of these doors in a Walmart during the Christmas season and you’ll generate enough energy to power the entire city of Los Angeles.
I don’t understand why I can’t spend three hours in the shower or courtesy flush twice during a massive number two. Why is water such a precious and conserved commodity when we have devices like the WaterMill which extracts the water from air? This glorified dehumidifier is placed on the outside of your house and brings fresh water in to your home all day long. It will draw in up to 12 liters of water each day and distribute the extracted and purified water to your fridge, to a tap on your kitchen sink, to a water cooler or to its own dispenser.
So, the next time you consider getting out of the shower early or you hold off on flushing just so you can save water, think twice because water is easy to find.
