Corks

Not sure if anyone of you heard of flooring made of corks? In fact I just learnt there are so many different things that can be used by recycling those wine corks...I should ask my aunt for the corks since she always buy lots of wine...nah, she is not an alcoholic!

This is one way of re-using corks, Ciclus Designs made them into cork mats to hold your hot kettle and pans, etc. Very cool and makes you wonder why you never thought about it before?

Friends of Glass

Dang, I forgot to copy down what I solemnly promise to do...it was along the line of I promise to use glass whenever possible because I care for my own health and for the world.

In addition to joining the family of the Friends of Glass, no, it is not a cult...I get a stained glass of myself...I would have put in Angelina Jolie's pic but hey, this is artistic and the photo of me get blurred so it is fine.

I also solemnly swear that at no time was my hair both blond and black at the same time! Hmm they have to add brunettes sooooooon...

Organic Toiletries again

Seems like there are more and more manufacturers making environmentally friendly products for home use and since toiletries are something very personal, the more environmentally friendly they are, the better they are for our skin and for our health in the long term. In addition, with every order placed, Joia donates $1 to The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees" project in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. So you can offset your carbon footprints at the same time.

Joia Botanicals' products are all natural. They do not use synthetic ingredients, artificial fragrances, parabens, nothing but the natural ingredients provided by nature.

They use naturally-organic, wild-harvested ingredients which further incentive to preserve the rainforest and help provide a meaningful source of income for local communities in Brazil.

Sustainable Kitchens

Found this kitchen manufacturer which is interesting, seems like going green is getting easier and easier everyday and in all parts of your home too.

Bazzèo kitchens are manufactured using non–toxic paints and lacquers, free from heavy metals and low in emissions. Bazzèo kitchens are produced using recycled and regenerated wood from certified resources as well as the use of non–toxic laminates, aluminum, glass and technical veneers. Kitchens by Bazzèo use only lumber, veneers and wood panels from fully managed and sustainable forests.

Motion Sensor Lights

I think whoever invented the motion sensor lights is brilliant. Of cos these products have been around for a long time but it doesn't hurt to bring up them up again. This particular light can be screw into any bulb outlet, sense movements from within a 5 meters range, brightness and timing can all be adjusted by you.

Imagine how much electricity bills you save when you use one of this motion sensor lights rather than turning the lights on permanently. Perfect fit for the stairway, toilet, basement, porch and storeroom, etc.

In my mind, I am hoping that they can detect cockroaches and lizards movements as well, so that when they glide through, the lights will turn on automatically and give the insects a heart attack and that will save me the trouble of hitting them to death.

Paperchair

First, there are paper bottles, now there are paper chairs..what's next? It's all up to your imagination! How I wish I can invent things like thee?

Paper Chairs, as the name state is made of recycled newspaper and is strong enough to sit on. They also comes in many colours but they won't be on sale till April and most likely not in a city near me...more the pity.
