Tron Vs. Gladiator: Which Bike Helmet Concept Is the Best?
What could be better than cruising on your bike while jamming to some good tunes rockin’ from your iPod?
How about cruising on your bike while jamming to some good tunes rockin’ from your iPod that is being charged by the wind passing through your helmet?
But wait, I can do even one better than the wind turbine helmet (with built in shades, if you didn’t see those)…
How about a bike helmet modeled after a roman gladiators helmet? I kid you not, read on to check it out.
Is Your Laptop Sleeve Destroying Your Sex Drive? GreenSmart Neogreene Sleeves To The Rescue!
So you’ve gone and dropped that nice chunk of change on an uber-green Macbook (or another eco-friendly laptop) and now you’re looking for a way to tote in around in sustainable style.
Hey, why not grab a nifty neoprene sleeve to sport it in?
Too bad that neoprene contains all kinds of toxic nastiness… including some toxins that can wreak havoc on your reproductive system.

Eco-Friendly Tattoos: From Eco-Themed To Under-Skin Touchscreen Tattoos
Can there be anything green about tattoos besides the color of the ink?
Nope. Well, at least not yet anyway.
So if you are going to shoot toxic and permanent colorants into your body (which I desperately want to do, by the way) why not go with a green theme?
Or of course you can always insert a digital and programmable tattoo device under your skin so you can sport a new design daily. More on that in a minute…
Guerilla Dumpster Diving: Sometimes the Dumpster You’re Diving Into Really Is A Swimming Pool!
I absolutely LOVE to go dumpster diving…
I’ve just never dove into a dumpster that was actually a swimming pool!
This is what it’s all about right here folks. Reclaiming a dilapidated urban space and transforming in into a hub for people to meet, mingle, eat, and enjoy each other’s company…and all through the reuse of construction dumpsters.
Brilliant.
The creative minds of Macro|Sea are the ones behind this project and you can find their urban makeshift country club in an undisclosed location somewhere in Brooklyn.

Free and Easy Ideas to Build a Reclaimed Trellis
Vining plants are some of the cheapest and easiest ways to add some beauty and interest to any outdoor space.
…but what do you grow them on?
Lots of trellises you can buy at big box stores are ridiculously expensive and really not all that interesting either.
What you CAN do is find some discarded junk that can be salvaged and reused as a trellis on which to grow beautiful flowering vines.
A piece of chain link fencing, like the one pictured, fits the bill PERFECTLY!
