This has been a question which has been hanging around for years now, could you tell the difference between a $10 bottle of precious Fiji mountain water and a nice ice cold glass of tap water? Well for around eighty four per cent of the UK public this was an impossible challenge as they could not tell the expensive bottled water to that which came out of the tap!

One thing that is for sure, eco-friendly practices and ideas will have their way as far as enhancing the normal homes we live in today. We often look at the contemporary and modern designs today and aspire to have them as part of our dream homes later one. But while we are pondering on that fact, it would be great to consider as well that eco-friendly standards are also in play.

Following the announcement of the wind and solar charging tent for the Glastonbury festival, Orange have done it again, well now they have introduced another charging device that is themed around the same sort of thing. This prototype will be tested at the festival by a number of festival goers.
However this time the charger uses motion to operate as it contains a system of magnets and weights which generate a charge when the user moves, hen

James Dyson is popular for designing and building outstanding new products which push the boundaries of design and technology, such as his revolutionary vacuum cleaner, which requires no bags and therefore does not lose any suction at all.
If he applies these same principles to the design of a solar or electric powered vehicle, which is suitable for families, then he would surely be onto another winner, wouldn’t he?

The way that we carry our cash around is now going to take on a different a look and feel as we find that even here we can see that the use of non toxic materials that will completely decompose should it end up in the landfill for some reason.

It may have been open for a little but it takes time for the news to filter around, and the news is that there is an unassuming green store simply called “Eco” which happens to be owned by the heart throb and all round good guy Colin Firth.
The store is located in Chiswick, which is slightly on the outside border of London, or not depending on your viewpoint. Not only does the store sell nice green things the building itself has been tur

There is something a little disconcerting about the phrase “Recycled Toilet Tissue!” but as we all know it is just made from recycled paper, which is a great thing at least a lot of waste paper will get one more use before it is flushed away.
But back to Glastonbury, at a certain point in the festival there is no worries for who will be performing on stage or if it will ever stop raining, the burning question is where is the nearest loo

By using a specially perfected process which hardens the recycled plastic bottles, THIS Gallery have made a whole series of lights and lamps, which initially look nothing like a load of old plastic bottles but they are and when you consider that each light fitting uses something in the region of thirty five and fifty five bottles, quite saving for the land fill!
Each light fitting has been hand made and is therefore totally original. As an incen

It’s an interesting concept that Sheila Kennedy from KVA Matx has, she is a great believer in integrating solar cell technology into the design of buildings and structures. They have gone so far as to design the Soft House which uses curtains to produce 16,000 watt hours of electricity.
Virtually every office building or home has either blinds or curtains, but they have never been used before to produce power, which is really a waste because t

Well when we say McDonalds go green what we actually are saying is that their sign appear to be growing some sort of salad!
It cannot be guaranteed but, could this be a new type of salad growing operation? Nobody has actually seen any of the staff out there yet picking any of the leaves to be used in some of their burgers and salads that are available these days, however there would seem to be a pollutions going on there and what about the birds

When you enter a public restroom these days, you are bound to see options to dry your hands, toilet paper or the hand dryer. Of the two, people will normally be advised to use the former to cut down on the electricity cost. But while that is a good decision, you have to consider that you are adding to another aspect of eco-friendly issues that of which is waste management and deforestation for the toilet paper materials used.

Lighting has to be one of the areas where power is mainly used and of course wasted, because we see lights on in houses, stores, factories and offices, in some cases they are running 24/7. So when a light bulb comes along which is only an 8 watt but actually replaces a 60 watt light bulb then maybe there would some interest in it, wouldn’t you think?

Making items out of cardboard is on the one hand sensible because this material is really strong and on the other, the materials are made from mostly recycled paper and card which is great because paper products are made to be recycled!
This table which has been designed by Sruli Recht and sold through Liborius in Iceland, comes in its own case which cuts back on the packaging, and when fully erected the table surface measures 1500 mm x 1200 mm

It makes not difference if the cars are green or not, they are still not as green as they could be, the same can go for many other types of transport, but there is one form of transportation that is totally free, eco friendly and now can even produce electricity into the bargain.
So what is this all powerful means of transport? Walking, yes walking is free, keeps you fit and healthy, costs virtually nothing and now according to research will be

With gas becoming one of the scarcest resources that we really need today, the shortage and crisis is really something we cannot do much about. Our hands are tied and while we hear the rant for alternative measures such as hybrid transportation or the use of public transport systems, it remains that we have to do something about these issues today.
Now that gas has become increasingly expensive, the least we can do right now is to try and corre

Its great when you see celebrities cutting back on their huge cars and excessive travelling, take Britney Spears she has been known to drive around in great big SUV’s and other large vehicles.
But here you can see that she has made an effort to cut back on the fuel that her vehicles use by turning electric and going for a much smaller car, good on you Britney!
