Features:
MATERIALS: sterling silver, reclaimed wood
NOTE: The Dodger Stadium cufflinks, initially shown in cream, will now be offered in blue due to the varying supp

Here is another in the line of recycled gift ideas. This one will leave a big impression for sure. (yes pun intended)
This oil lamp is made from actual surplus military hand grenades. These have to be quite sturdy, and promise to be a conversation starter in any room. These are super cool to me really and quite a good re-use for the surplus grenades.
What do you think of the hand grenade oil lamps?

The rainy season may be a long way from today but it never hurts to get ready early. Rather than using any ordinary umbrella, why not consider this biodegradable umbrella called “the Brelli”?
“‘The Brelli’, a 100% biodegradable umbrella? Good riddance to deflated black umbrellas littering city streets or piling up in landfills and neighborhood refuse bins. The Brelli aims to introduce us to a new era of rain gear - one where the life c

We are at an age where most consumer products are thrown in the waste basket once they have lived up their useful life. A lot of them are either broken or have been simply tagged as unusable. But while most consumers look at replacements thereafter, there are various ways to turn trash into gold. Apparently this was the challenge made towards the Western Washington University students which transformed industrial wastes into eco-friendly treasur

One of the gadgets that people are aware of are the ones that can provide music. We are familiar with the transistor radio that often operates on electricity or batteries. But there is now an alternative wind-up radio which can even be considered a good gift idea to special people in times of occasions.

So when you receive your Christmas gift, the first thing that comes into mind is to check out that valuable good and using it immediately. While this is the normal practice that most people who receive gifts would do, do remember that the packaging it comes from should also be put in its place.
Some would save the wrappers or boxes for further use. This is not really something new to people since rather than buying new ones, they can only resor

So Christmas is finally here and normally we would be done with our Christmas shopping as early as some days ago. However, there are people who may miss out a person or two and when that problem arises, chances are they would find themselves searching like crazy for a good gift to give this holiday season.
For people, it is not really the price that matters but the value and though of giving a present. While most people are looking at the price

Hemp is an all-natural fiber that is strong and completely sustainable.
You can find it today easily in many items, such as in purses, t-shirts, clothing, accessories, and even in food products. I have written many a piece on hemp items.
I found this cute hemp purse in green that is great for that rad green high-schooler in your life. The hemp purse is made of 100% hemp and is available at Hemp Star.

I am a big fan of recycled art, i’m not a student of it, but i do enjoy it.
“abstract recycled art created from plastics collected from Australian beaches”
I did an online search and found recycled art by one John Dahlsen. According to his website, John is an “environmental artist and contemporary painter” who creates recycled art.

Whenever we catch ourselves doing our laundry, we encounter various issues in trying to dry them up or soften our laundry. We do have the usual fabric softeners and dryer sheets but bear in mind that harmful chemicals are at play. For the eco-conscious consumer, this may pose to be a problem especially if he or she is inclined to join the barrage of clamoring people who are calling for green alternatives to help the world put up with the green m

Oh sorry it’s a chandelier! Anyway whatever it’s called, take a closer look and you will see that it is made from recycled CD cases.
I think it look pretty cool as it is, but you can always put something inside the case like a photo or even the original sleeve for added colour and style.
What’s more you can make your own, so the price for this is going to be how much you need to spend on it.
