There is nothing that says green more than wood does, anything made from wood these days has to be appreciated as having a lot of care and thought put into the design.
This radio has been called Move to Radio has been designed by Sang Hoon Lee, to control the music all that is required, is that the user moves the car shaped radio forward and backwards. It has a simple yet quaint movement control, means that the need for buttons are eliminated.

Green furniture is becoming very popular and why not, after all the idea is to take materials from old buildings and barns and then turns it into wonderfully looking furniture. One such company is Environment Furniture Incorporated (EMI) from Austin, Texas; they take recycled wood from Brazil and create one off masterpieces.

Now, there are not many good, eco-friendly things that you could say about sunglasses. They are most often made from either plastic, metal or both with a production process that leaves a lot to be desired.

However, now you are going to be able to save your eyes and look so cool at the same time. The frames on these eco-friendly glasses are made from variety of different woods and have been handmade to reproduce some fantastic retro styles.

The one thing about flat packed furniture, no matter whether it is eco friendly or not is the construction. It seems for many people whenever they get to the end, there is sometimes something left over, which can be fairly annoying.

However, Way Basics have come up with some great designs that are really simple and easy to build, in fact, no tools, glue or special knowledge is needed, the furniture is simple put together and that is that!

When it comes to certain products, only wood will do for an effective eco friendly method of construction and just a nice simple material which can be used not only instead of plastic, but as a sustainable material which can be recycled when finished with. But most of all wood is a stylish material which can come in many different shades and shapes.

What great picnic table, this has been created by using old recycled skis, which is a good idea, because these things are made to be very tough, after all they do go through a lot a punishment when they are being used, so they must be good enough for a table.
It comes in at a size of thirty inches by sixty inches and is very heavy, which will last the test of time, unlike normal picnic benches which are prone to splitting and drying out, which

They come in light biscuit and a reddish brown colour and can be finished off with a combination of coloured bands, which is do

It seems that chopsticks can be used for other things, after all for most people eating with them is just too hard and the food ends up getting really cold before you can finish.
Well not anymore, its back the real cutlery for food and the chopsticks can go on to be used in a much better form of art, in fact these bowls are made from chopsticks and they really look OK too, so you can either buy one of Bryan Parks masterpieces or simply try and

Each log will last around an hour, and when they have finished they will be completely gone leaving just a pile of ashes which can be easily and eco friendly disposed of.
