MugLight Must Have for Coffee Drinkers

Brian Yalung — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 10:55:08 +0000

Here is an ingenious device that should become appealing to coffee drinkers and the ones who read a lot during the night. It is a two-for-one device where you can enjoy coffee and get some light in the process. This is really a mug holder and a lamp. The lamp shade is made of an insulating material that can hold a coffee mug. It uses the lamp’s emitted heat to keep your coffee warm.

Brilliant idea especially for people who often hate seeing their drink go cold and end up reheating if not throwing them away (waste!). The MugLight is designed by Pengtao Yu.

Eco-friendly Pillows from Alejandra Dunphy Textiles

Brian Yalung — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 06:17:52 +0000

Everyone is going green and this includes the pillows which we find in our bedrooms. For many people it would not matter. As long as they are fluffy and great to lay on, nothing else matters. But adding the eco-friendly initiative provides something different.

Inspired by simplicity, nature, organic shapes and architecture, the collection includes both hand-knitted and hand-loomed products. 100% natural fibers such as certified organic cotton, luxurious alpaca, among others are colored with natural dyes and woven using ancient weaving techniques that have been passed down through many generations. Products are made to order reducing excessive waste to landfills.

Dunphy aims to provide them and their families with a better quality of life. No child labor is used. It’s much easier NOT to pay attention to these issues but the designer is both passionate and committed.

Recycled Plastic as Pillows?

Brian Yalung — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 04:57:40 +0000

We all know that pillows would have to be soft and cuddly to get a good night’s sleep but apparently recycled materials have been found to provide that as well. There are actually 1,600 recyclable materials that you can use and apparently this is something worth checking out.

Hollander Home Fashions, a major bedding manufacturer, created the Natural Elements Pillow, the insides of which are made of crushed, recycled green plastic bottles.

The pillows’ eco-friendly fiber fill – called “beepee” – requires 30 to 40 crushed plastic bottles each, depending on the pillow size. While you may find this a bit awkward, if it is a point for eco-friendliness as well as comfort, then why not? Check them out at local stores. They are under the Natural Elements Brand.

Plover Organic Cotton Bedding and Towels

David Allen — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:33:42 +0000

It is nice when you find a complete selection of bedding and other household products such as towels and table cloths which are totally made from 100% organic cotton that come in such a variety of styles and patterns it will be hard to choose from the collection.

Quick facts about Plover’s bedding

Cotton is grown with non-genetically altered seeds in soil free of pesticides, herbicides and cyctotoxins, which keeps all of these chemicals away from your body and out of the environment.

Dyes are low-impact, fibre-reactive with no heavy metals.

They use fair trade manufacturing so everyone is paid fair, living wages for their dedicated labour talents.

The material used is blocked printed, which uses less ink, but actually gives the product a nice crisp feel, which absolutely looks expensive, but in fact is reasonable when compared to other products of an equivalent quality.

These coverings include cork, wood, glass, aluminium, bamboo and reclaimed wood that have been carefully cut and constructed into easy to use sets. However, will show off your home in way that you could have not dreamed of.

Kakadu Wooden Carpets Design

Brian Yalung — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:00:45 +0000

If you take the definition of carpets literally, it would normally point towards fabric or something soft. But in countries like Israel, there are ways to make the carpet definition broader with the use of natural wood.

By using a fast-growing timber planted specifically for harvesting, Kakadu has come up with hand-painted designs for wooden carpets made from selected raw materials that use non-toxic and recycled materials.

Price: $159.00

A carpet made out of wood? Who would’ve thought? Kakadu, a company located in the heart of a nature preserve in Israel, did.

Brightly coloured and suitable for heavy-traffic areas such as kitchens, hand-painted wooden carpets are environmentally friendly and durable.

The “functional floor art” is created using fast-growing timber that has been planted specifically for harvesting, rather than timber from the rain forest or from old-growth forests. Raw materials are selected using non-toxic and recycled materials whenever possible, according to the company.

Eco Friendly Futon Covers

Missy — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:04:16 +0000

Hi, guys i have found a series of eco friendly futon covers from a loyal reader of our blogs, his name is Matt. I like to call him Futon Matt. He specializes in all sorts of futon mattresses and has been in the futon business for over 7 years. That’s alot of time to be around any one thing. LOL.

Let me get serious for a second. I was perusing the site that Matt has created and on the left sidebar is a section devoted to his eco friendly offerings. He has futon frames made out of sustainably harvested lumber (from Pennsylvania), futon covers made of recycled fabrics, and a selection of organic futon mattresses.

What Makes the Futon Covers Eco Friendly?

The futon covers are made using 89% post-industrial recycled polyester, and 11% post -consumer recycled polyester.

If you’re looking for one, give Matt a visit. With all his years of experience, he should know how to direct you to what you need.

Britney Spears Gifts Sister with Eco-Friendly Nursery

Brian Yalung — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 05:48:45 +0000

Now this may seem something different as far as Britney Spears is concerned. She has been the center of controversy and has been repeatedly hit for her unorthodox lifestyle. This is of course with reference to her celebrated divorce with Kevin Federline and losing custody of her kids due to psychological incapacity.

This time around, she is doing something good for her sister and likewise promoting a green living at that. She has reportedly spend $30,000 for an eco-friendly nursery made up of stuff like organic bedding and baby blankets for her pregnant 16 year old sister Jenny Lynn.

“Britney is picking up the tab. So far she’s spent more than $30,000 on it – she’s sparing no expense. She also ordered a custom made, six-foot tall elephant with a blue bow which she wants to sit in the middle of the nursery.”

Jamie Lynn, 16, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Casey Aldridge, this summer.

Friends of the actress recently revealed she is thinking about returning to college after giving birth.

Bedding with the eco friendly touch

David Allen — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:00:14 +0000

There was a time when buying anything eco friendly was so expensive that only the wealthy could afford such things.

But now the choice is so great and the amount of stores that are stocking this type of bedding that the prices have now come down the more reasonable levels which means being eco friendly does not necessarily have to break the bank and the designs are so great too.
