The Ecopod is a compressed recycled paper coffin designed by Hazel Selina. The Ecopod along with the Acorn urn are made from 100% recycled paper and a natural earth based mineral hardener. They are completely biodegradable just like you (unless you’re pumped full of embalming fluids)! You can have your Ecopod silk screened with designs such as doves or a Celtic cross.
French designers ModeLabs this afternoon said it had developed three of the first truly energy- and environment-friendly cellphone concepts. All the concepts rely on the inherent movement of their users to automatically regenerate power and signal the possibility of using smaller batteries or even eliminating them entirely. The most advanced model is the YoYo (pictured), ModeLabs says. Worn about the neck, the prototype recycles the bounces and swings created by its owner and also draws power from built-in solar cells.
