The fully functional herbivorous device is a UK first, having taken more than 240 hours to build, using tens of thousands of blades of grass sourced from Twickenham Stadium for the casing and locally sourced wood for the buttons. The insides are made up of recycled phone bits. Freeze-dried within … [Read more...]
gNappies – Reusable nappies for parents in a hurry
With my first baby I was a guilt-ridden eco-worrier, dutifully using the Bambino Mios to help reduce my carbon guilt at my selfish decision to increase the burden on the planet with yet another human. This time around, I got the resuables ready to go and there they have stayed. But then I got … [Read more...]

The LEAF Vibrator range, environmentally friendly pleasures!
This post was supposed to be entitled ‘Solar Powered Thrills’, because I wanted to find and discuss (what should be) the way forward with sex toys: solar-powered vibrators. I could only find the ‘Micro Kitty’. Unfortunately it resembles a demon gummibear and is also apparently an incognito device … [Read more...]
Eton’s Solar iPod Speakers
The off-grid lifestyle really appeals to me. Not in an "I'm a neo-nazi and I don't want to pay taxes" type way, but in a "I'd like to live in a cabin in the woods and make furniture out of hazel twigs" type way.

Supermarkets are soulless places, aren't they? All those busy aisles of grumpy shoppers who wield their trolley/pram/wheelchairs like a lethal weapon, diving for the last cut-priced cuts of meat and avoiding the zombie-like members of staff. This is exactly why they stick the wine aisle at the … [Read more...]
Are eco-friendly cars any fun? Ford Fiesta Econetic
I don't review cars often. I have a little Peugeot 206 that I drive like a go-kart and it gets me from A to B. It's nice but...well, lacking in gadgets and not exactly eco-friendly. While I'm quite content with my little run-around, I'm still keen to keep an eye out for something a little … [Read more...]
