Not only are these iPod cases from 45 iPod Cases freakin awesome, they’re made from reclaimed 7″ records and cassette tapes. An ingenious idea that begs the question, “why the hell didn’t I think of that first!” I can’t even imagine how many old tapes and records are ending up in the landfill (at least […]
Last week we posted about The Secret Life of Cellphones, a video profiling what happens to our electronics we throw out, and now Nokia has made a phone that we can all feel better about. The “Remade” concept phone is made almost entirely of aluminum cans, plastic bottles and old car tires and also use […]
A company where everything it sells is garbage? Sounds like a recipe for failure, but that’s exactly what TerraCycle Inc does and they do it well. The concept is simple: take organic garbage destined for the landfill and turn it into plant food, package it in reclaimed soda bottles and sell it in Home Depot […]

While on one of my Whole Foods trips the other day, I went to the whole body section for some soap and toothpaste. Picking up soap is always an ordeal for me; I’ll stand in front of the shelf reading labels of ingredients trying to decide which one to use next. […]
Every time I’ve used a public urinal, I’m appalled at the amount of water is used in one visit, not to mention multiplied by the the number of people that day times the number of bathrooms in the US. It’s enough to make my eco-brain spin and is enough to convince me to not flush.

Now here’s a company we can all get behind. Think natural apparel is all baja sweaters and hemp sandals? Think again. Naked Cotton focuses on creating 100% organic and sustainable apparel. We’ve all seen organic apparel that’s either boring, makes you look like a hippie, or is so high fashion that none of us can […]
