I know I’m not the only one who can’t get up and go without a cup of coffee…or two or three, some mornings.  Coffee pots don’t really take up that much power if you just use them in the morning, but how many of us leave them on all day, especially at the office?  Well, [...]

I have very fond memories of playing with bubbles as a kid.  I’d go out with many of my friends and we’d all buy big bottles of bubbles.  Then we’d go to the park and blow them at each other and all around.  It was a lot of fun, but it also took a good [...]

I’m always looking for cool bicycle gear, especially bicycle gear that’s recycled or somehow uses old items.  That’s what I found when I checked out these mud guards (basically, bicycle fenders).  They’re very useful for anyone who has to ride in the wet since they’ll keep you from getting splattered with mud.  But they’re also [...]

I love riding my bike to work every day.  It saves on gas, gives me a great workout, and it’s just a good way to start the day in general.  Riding through my neighborhood enjoying the bright, pleasant morning is a lot of fun.  However, I hate riding my bike at night.  It’s just not [...]

I was looking for a unique present for someone who is very eco and health conscious, and at about the same time I received an email from Cynthia over at Healthy Kitchenware.  Great timing!  She shared with me the story behind her company and the benefits of her products.  Her company promotes reducing plastic in [...]

Think about how many plastic bottles of water you consume each week.  Now multiply that by the number of people on the planet drinking water from a plastic bottle.   The amount of plastic hitting landfills from just water bottles is staggering.   A company called Brand Image has a solution.  They have created durable bottles created [...]

I used to work in a building where the heater didn’t work.  This was obviously fine during the summer but during the winters it was excrutiatingly painful.  My whole body was cold but the one thing I noticed was it was difficult for me to type and therefore work because my hands were ice cold.  [...]

Hard core gamers can do their part for the environment by placing an order for the Reee chair.  Why?  The Reee chair is made from recycled game console casings.  The seat and back use the rubber from recycled game consoles to wrap around black powder coated steel for cool and comfortable chair.  The Reee probably [...]

Instead of just burning energy at the gym, your workout can now create energy! Green Microgym in Portland, Oregon, which opened a couple of days ago, uses the energy expended by its members to create energy to powers some of its machines.  While they will only be able to power about 20-25% of the machines [...]
