Every time you look at the Juice Clock, you’ll be reminded of the benefits of recycling. This punchy design piece is made from recycled and reclaimed HDPE detergent bottles. In bright citrus colors like organe, lemon, grapefruit or lime, this clock adds energy to any room that needs a little pick me up.

Put it on the wall in your laundry room for a true display of how recycling has come full circle from detergent bottle to wall clock. If you don’t buy and support recycled products, all that saving and sorting goes to waste. Choosing cool stuff that gives use to what you put in the recycle bin closes the loop by creating a demand to help ensure recyclers always have a place to sell their products.

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth’s climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand

You can watch HOME until June 14, 2009 by clicking here: Home, the movie.

If you’re packing up a meal to eat outside in nature, why not make your picnic easy on nature? Start with an eco-friendly picnic basket like the Picnic Time Highlander Basket made of sustainable bamboo. Admittedly, the material is the only thing that gives this basket green cred so it scores low on the eco-friendly scale. That said, packing your lunch or dinner and dining al fresco alone will earn you points with Mother Nature–no need for light or air conditioning at the park, right?

This big basket comes with a picnic blanket and everything you need to serve food and wine for four: plates, stainless steel flatware, wine glasses, a wine duffel, a corkscrew and a cutting board. Since you have reusables at the ready, you won’t fall prey to one of the worst outdoor dining offenders–paper and plastic picnicware. Click here to read more

Most conventional wood floor cleaners contain harsh chemicals linked with a host of adverse health effects. Wood cleaners often contain 2-butoxyethanol, which can depress the central nervous system and can irritate; isopropanol, which can irritate the skin and the upper respiratory tract; and ammonia, which can irritate or damage the lungs. Conventional cleaners also often contain synthetic fragrance, which means that they usually have phthalates to sustain the fragrance. Phthalates are endocrine disruptors (also called hormonally active agents) and have been linked to adverse health effects in rodent studies. Elevated concentrations of phthalates in household have been linked with asthma and allergic symptoms in children.

An option to replace those conventional cleaners that we like is Method’s o-Mop Wood for Good Floor Cleaner in Almond, $8. Wood for Good Floor Cleaner is free of 2-butoxyethanol, isopropanol, and ammonia. Click here to read more
