For picnics, barbeques, and outdoor dining on the deck or patio, you can't go wrong with this hybrid solar oven. No propane to deal with, no charcoal or starter fluid, just an electric cord--and that's optional because the solar oven can run entirely on solar power. If you need to plug it in and use electricity, you'll be happy to know it uses 75% less power than a conventional oven.

I've seen Primo water at the grocery store but never paid attention to it until recently. The water inside the bottles is purified via distillation and reverse osmosis but it's the bottle that attracted my attention because it's plastic made from plants. The plastic, whose trade name is Ingeo, is the first bottle made from a renewable resource (plants) and not petroleum products.

I would love to have one of these Qube garden rooms. Just think your own retreat, gym, or office right in the back yard! Qubes are constructed from Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) on a concrete pad. SIPs are environmentally friendly for a few reasons. The outer skins are made from engineered wood derived from renewable forest resources. The foam insulation saves on heating and electric bills, and SIPs replace conventioanl frame construction.

Let me start by saying that I think I like the packaging as much as the toothbrush. This is a great little replaceable head toothbrush that is made from wood Fiber blended with PLA, a plastic derived entirely from Nebraska maize. Since it's made from 100% renewable resources, that makes it one of the few eco-friendly options in toothbrushes. More importantly, it's reversible so it can be used for right and left-handed people (like me!). Radial bristles--4,000 of them made from Tynex® nylon.
And if that's not enough to entice you, the company was founded by two architects on the Caribbean island of Tortola who were "fascinated by the idea of a functional and enjoyable toothbrush". And there you have it!www.radiustoothbrush.com
