GreenZero Chargers
18th January 2012
Eco-friendly chargers are nothing new, but I thought these GreenZero charges by Bracketron were particularly cool. Green for the home, black for travel.
They detect when your device is fully charged and in turn shut off the incoming power. Good for the environment, good for you.

I am having such an awesome time watching the newest BBC Series Frozen Planet. My mouth is pretty much open for the entire hour!
Do people understand how amazing our little world is?
Scrap Lights

How awesome are these scrap cardboard lights by Seattle based studio graypants, inc.?
Creating a beautiful atmosphere through light and shadow while instilling new spirit into salvaged pieces of corrugated cardboard, this is definitely what great design is all about.

Nest Learning Thermostat
25th October 2011
Whoever knew climate-control could be sexy?
Thankfully, Tony Fadell, the man behind the invention of the iPod did and as a result we now have the gorgeous Nest Learning Thermostat. This little product is not only pretty, it also contains software that analyses and tracks your energy usage. Over time it learns to predict your energy needs and starts adjusting itself to work with your lifestyle. Amazingly, it’s this intuitive programming that can save you 30% – 40% off your energy costs.
Good for you + Good for the environment = Win
Have a watch of the video should you need any extra convincing.

Poetree
10th October 2011
Poetree is a simple, beautifully designed funeral urn by Margaux Ruyant.
A tree can be planted into the ashes of a loved one and when it’s big enough, the whole urn can in turn be planted into the ground where the cork pot disintegrates into the soil. All that’s left behind is a tree and the ceramic memorial ring. Beautiful.

These Nectar/Perch bookends would be a sweet edition to any bookshelf. Handmade from sandcast recycled aluminum means they’re eco friendly as well. Awesome.

8th June 2010
London based designers HU2 have created a whole range of amazing wall vinyls. They’re creative and cool and I LOVE the eco-reminders like this laptop sticker.
I want them all!
