One thing about pop icons and aspiring musicians today is that they love to use the best instruments in town. In this case, these guitarists may want to apply a certain green patch towards buying their next guitar. The best part of it is that people will not even know the difference (unless of course they divulge it).
Most of these guitars are made from bamboo or other wooden raw materials that are being tagged as dilapidating in terms of availa

It was a dream of the Prime Minister Gordon Brown to develop eco towns in the UK; this would have been the first major building projects in the country since the 1960’s. However, these plans have been put into limbo simply because it is believed that many of these developments were not green enough.
Originally there were to be around ten of these eco towns, but this has been cut down to around two and even those may not get the go ahead either

Tyres and inner tubes are a nightmare for the environment and yet as with many things that are not good for us or the planet, we really cannot do without them. The solution is to make them into other useful things such as these Zero Cellphone Cases.
Because they are made from inner tubes, that makes the cellphone cases strong and totally waterproof, they are being sold at $25 for the case, $12 for carrying strap and $8 for the cellphone cleaner.

The 2-cycle green engine oil might be the best invention we’ve noticed so far this year.
Green Earth Technologies, creator of organic engine products, has released their new automotive lubricant to its G-Oil line, a 10W-30 that has set a new biodegradability standard. The oil biodegraded over 90% in a speedy 9 days, blowing the 28-day rate of decomposition required by the American Society of Testing Materials out of the water. Pretty impre

We hear so much about natural disasters these, and how so weak we all are when it comes to helping out the survivors. Yes we send aid and maybe some cash too, but this doesn’t always have the desired effect.
What the people on the ground need is decent accommodation that is dry and safe, without this it makes no difference how many tons of food are sent over. This is why this prototype for a Mobile Green Disaster Shelter, it is easy to build,

Hemp has so many uses, most of which can replace something or other that we use in our daily lives, whether these products are a direct replacement is down to individual tastes. There are some food alternatives that leave a lot to be de desired.
However there are also those products which need no explanation and have no problem replacing its non eco friendly counter part. Twine made from 100% Hemp is just one of these products; it is totally nat

These solar light floating balls could be answer to night lighting metropolitan cities with waters.
At minimum order of 1000 pieces, it’s not for consumers but governments could easily take advantage of them. The question remains, will they stay afloat in the same place? (anchoring them might be the way to go for sea-connected waters)

Paper is essential to most of us for business, communication and correspondences. The call has been made to limit our use of papers, mostly because they point towards deforestation, and in fact clamor for recyclable papers has been sought. While most paper manufacturers have tried to offer recyclable paper for use, OfficeMax has been able to come up with a 100% recyclable paper for use for a limited time to clients and customers.

At first glance these bags look as if they are just a bag with a nice pattern on. But upon closer inspection you will see that they are made from a sack of some sort. In this case the sack is an old recycled coffee sack and looks very neat too, with prices staring at around $15 they are not going to break the bank.

Those people who love to have a quick coffee in an Australian McDonalds will be pleased to see that very soon there will be a new type of coffee available. This is going to be an eco friendly brand which is grown under strict eco friendly conditions.
This is a good move by the Australian branch of McDonalds as they do have some serious eco competition over there, with the likes of Starbucks also looking to change their coffee to an eco friendly
