In order to boost its eco friendly image, power provider British Gas is to fund a new children’s television programme imaginatively named “Green Up Your Life” which is going to be a series of ten five minute long shows.
Children will be given a challenge, which is directly related to the environment, these may include recycling, or water conservation. At the end of the series, the child who comes out on top will be crowned the “Eco Range

People who have cats like to make sure that they have somewhere safe and cozy to sleep, sometimes this could mean buying something that has been made from plastic. But now there are more eco friendly ideas for the cat to have a nap in.
This cat basket has been made from banana leaves, which have been woven into a basket that comes in two parts, the base and the actual basket itself. There is no doubt that any cat would love to sleep in there, wh

There is nothing that says green more than wood does, anything made from wood these days has to be appreciated as having a lot of care and thought put into the design.
This radio, the Move to Radio, has been designed by Sang Hoon Lee. To tune the radio and adjust the music, all the user has to do is move the car shaped radio forward and backwards. It has a simple yet quaint movement control, which means that the need for buttons are eliminat

It is a sign of the time that we are requiring more and more emergency shelters these days; however, until now, there have not been any serious efforts to produce these shelters in an eco friendly manner.
But now, thanks to some serious design, there is now an option where shelters can be produced from sustainable materials. This is potentially ironic, with climate change causing many of the natural disasters in the first place. Regardless, this

But apparently, Whirlpool has come up with a modified chest freezer brand that allows owners to save up to 43% of energy consumption and comes with a new Electronic Control System to help ease the control levels of freezers.

Cleaning cars normally would require water and the amount of water that we use are normally beyond control. People either use hoses or tons of water but as far as measuring the level of water we use, that is so far pretty much overlooked.
But there are techniques now offered on how to clean your car the eco-friendly way and among them is offered by Enoc (Emirates National Oil Company) through its eco-friendly car wash liquid called No-Wet

When we think of mobile living, this would normally be something like a trailer van, or even something less grand. However, some people have other ideas on how to live the eco life and this XO Mobile Structure is certainly grand.

Just by looking around the shopping mall it is clear that stationary is a big business, but how many of these stationary products are eco friendly? It is hard to know, because there is a lot of work and materials going into the production of modern stationary.

Solar power technology has come a long way in recent years. There was a time when it was only any good for calculators, but now solar power is becoming more available to everyone in a lot of different ways.

There is a new company called Sunrise Solar, who specialize in the production of solar panels. They have come up with an idea where the sunroof of car is replaced with their solar power unit. This will then keep the car battery fully charged

Raw sewage being poured into the sea is a big problem, yet it continues to happen. Now, it is the UK’s surfers who are getting the full force of it. They know what it is like to become ill through all sorts of waste being poured into the seas, hence the auction of famous people’s artwork, which raised £77,000 ($150,000).

I am a HUGE Coldplay fan! I have all their albums, plus their music reminds me of my youngest brother who is also a fan. It was interesting and kinda funny to read that Coldplay makes their own clothing, and that they are all into SEWING.
These guys are the epitome of cool and they like to sew in their rooms while on tour? That is revelatory to say the least. Having said that, it is kinda neat to learn that the band members and front lead singer

We have heard of the various alternative energy sources such as solar and hydrogen power and most of them are helping people look towards better ways to satisfy their energy needs. Among the leading candidates that require constant charging are our gadgets like mobile phones and iPods. While there have been unveiled devices here is another one that uses motion to recharge them.

When it gets to that time of year when all the leaves begin to fall, wouldn’t it great if there was some sort of use for them, well there is now and it is a pretty good use too.

Green furniture is becoming very popular and why not, after all the idea is to take materials from old buildings and barns and then turns it into wonderfully looking furniture. One such company is Environment Furniture Incorporated (EMI) from Austin, Texas; they take recycled wood from Brazil and create one off masterpieces.
