According to recent studies, Pizza is a $30 billion dollar industry. That’s a heck of a lot of cardboard boxes in our landfills. But a Pizza box company has come up with a very simple pizza box design which recycles and reuses the box the pizza comes in with a simple tear along the serrated lines. Bet you didn’t think a simple square box could be redesigned, did you?

Wind power is a viable alternative for green energy – particularly in arid areas where there’s plenty of wind, but little of anything else. Trouble is, that wind turbines aren’t as efficient as they should and need to be. A company named Leviathan Energy seems to have a very simply way to improve the efficiency of wind turbines … and it involves donuts.
Cluster bomb technology used for seed planting
May 8th, 2009 by James in Conceptual Gadgets, Eco Gadgets
Anti War activists hate cluster bombs – mostly because they can be used to deploy anti personnel mines which don’t get picked up long after the last bullet has been fired. And when they go off, even children are victims. But can the technology be harnessed for more constructive and green purposes? Designer Hwang Jin Wook seems to think so and as such, he came up with the “Seedbomb.”
Envirobank Gives you Money for Recyclables

This next product is for those who are truly “greening their routine”. I myself usually take a trip to the recycling plant once per week. Sadly, this has nothing to do with my love for Mother Earth. It just so happens that I can save a lot of money on my garbage bill.
Envirobank has figured out a way that consumers can deposit their recyclables in a conveniently located machine, and give them a cash reward for their ecologically sound actions. These machines have been called “reverse vending machines” as users give aluminum cans to the machine, and it gives them money right back.
In addition to aluminum cans, these machines accept PET, HDPE, and PVC recyclable materials as well as brown, clear, and green glass. My sources say that some of these machines can hold up to 3,000 containers.
The K-Light solar lantern

It’s always nice when you go camping and don’t have to worry about packing 15 different types of batteries. The more solar gadgets you can have around, the less batteries you have to deal with. Making this K-Light a convenient light to have around when it comes time to go camping. Instead of worrying about having D batteries lying around, you just have to make sure to leave this out so that it can charge up in the sunlight.
Eizo Nanao New EcoView Monitors
April 29th, 2009 by Mark R in Eco Gadgets, PC Gadgets
Earth day may have been last week, but that didn’t stop Eizo Nanao from making monitors with an EcoView Sense feature. This feature allows the monitor to enter into sleep mode if no one moves in front of it for 40 seconds.
How is this possible? These new Eizo Nanao monitors come equipped with motion detectors that can somehow sense a moving form before the screen at maximum length of 120 centimeters.
So when you go to step out for a snack, you will come back to find your PC sleeping on the job. You may wish to disable this feature.
These new Eizo Nanao monitors come in two forms. The first is the 20-inch EV2023W with a 1600 x 900 resolution, 178 degree viewing angles, and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. The other is the 23-inch EV2303W, with a TN panel of 1920 x 1080 resolution, 160 degree viewing angles, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.
The Earth Angel Wind-Up Vibrator
April 27th, 2009 by Ally in Eco Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets
A lot of smaller gadgets are getting eco-friendly perks. Such as solar powered speakers and wind-up flashlights. They all make it so that you don’t have to use batteries, plus you’re helping out the environment in your own little way. One small gadget I did not expect to see is a wind-up vibrator. Although I strongly appreciate their commitment to being eco-friendly, I can’t help but think this is going just a half a step too far.
Kinesis Industries K3
April 26th, 2009 by Mark R in Coolest Mobile News, Eco Gadgets
The last time we covered Kinesis, it was at CES. Back then, we were covering the unveiling of the K2, a charger for mobile devices that uses both solar power and wind power. The company has recently unveiled the K3, a “tribrid” charger. It would appear that three is indeed the magic number as a user can charge their mobile devices three ways.
The first method is with simple AC power, and the K3 is also capable of charging from a USB port or a standard car cigarette lighter. The second and third way of charging is by using the sun and the wind, and this can be done at the same time.
