A month or two ago i wrote on a recycled plastic bag chair, and well it was nothing to look at. But this time we have for you another plastic bag chair and this one rocks.
Featured at Gizmodo Australia, the plastic bag chair is the creation of designer Ryan Frank and it is made entirely of used plastic bags. The seat is made of recycled aluminum and then it is coated with the bags.
Clever use of recycled plastic bags. Love it.

In Hummelstown, Pennsylvania the local car wash run by Zimmerman Automotive Services, has something innovative taking place. Something new and something green.
When you go to wash your car, all the water you see is being re-used. The owner has decided to recycle the dirty water to reuse in other areas of the car wash.
It goes into filtration, three filtration tanks. I use it for spot free rinse. I use it for chassis rinse. I just keep turning

A new solar charger has hit the iPhone market, but it leaves alot to be desired. This honestly seems like something that was manufactured back in 1996.
However if you’re looking for function and aren’t really wanting to make a fashion statement. Let’s take a look at the features of the solar powered iPhone case.
Features:
fully charges your iPhone 3G in less than 3 hours
power via: rechargeable battery OR via solar power

Truck drivers will always have their share of dealing with the weather changes and driving a large truck under the prickly heat will always be a discomfort. Add to the fact that they have to deal with the toxins and fumes from their usually diesel run trucks and you may be imperiling their overall health as well. But that was yesterday.
Today, an old technology claimed to be renewed is being offered by Webasto, a trucking company that makes equ

These are tough economic times to say the least, and many industries and sectors are currently suffering. But there is promise in the fields of green technology and green innovation.
If you’re looking to take your money out of GM (and if i were you, i would) look instead into green investments. I’m not a financial planner nor am I a stock broker, but common sense screams at me, that GREEN TECH is where the money is at.

Great discussion going on over at the Kitchn.com, on a September challenge posed by the Illinois Food Bank Association. The challenge was: Can You Eat On $25 A Week?
This challenge (part of Hunger Action Month in Illinois) is meant to create awareness of the continuing problem of hunger and poverty…..right here in the US. Those who are on government assistance receive $25 a week for meals. Is this enough? What does $25 a week buy a US fami

Now for the comedic part of politics, this isn’t necessarily green, but it IS FUNNY. Plus there is talk on the environment. Something about Alaska, wolves, hunting, and whether global warming is man made or not.
Watch the video. Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, and Queen Latifah all on Saturday Night Live. To funny.

New for the fall (from vegan shoe shop Moo Shoes), is the Novacas Alexandra. This is a 3 inch stacked heel that features no leather and/ or any animal material.
I like the wrap around design and the button closure on the side, it is a perfect fall shoe.
Moo Shoes only carries vegan shoes, and this is a must bookmark site if you are into vegan shoe fashions. Great selection and they carry a good mix of independent designers and high end styles.

One thing about the Christmas season is that it is nothing without the bright lights that we usually see used as decorative lights for the usual trees and lately, home designs. While many of us would use a lot of the traditional lights, the electric bills are expected to hit the roof from the standard monthly electric bills.
But thanks to new artificial Christmas trees that are set to be introduced this holiday season, LED lights are integrated

Home remodeling has to be one of the common things that most home owners would consider doing. But the problem is how to go about it. Cost is one area of concern but equally important these days is how to be able to remodel with eco-friendly responsibility as well.
So where would you get these ideas? From reading home design magazines or perhaps home design shows that offer mostly eco-friendly remodeling ideas from the materials to be used up t

Very cool concept has just surfaced, in which YOU are able to create your very own personalised energy bar.
Chicago-based ElementBars.com aims to give users a simple, step-by-step process for designing their own energy bars from scratch.

As you might have ready by now comedian Ellen Degeneres recently got married, but what you might not have read is that the wedding was all vegan. The food, the desserts, all was vegan.
So it is fitting that today it was announced that Ellen is going vegan. Her partner Portia De Rossi is also a vegan. Ellen has long been an animal activist and has many times had guests on her daytime talk show that support various animal charities.
