Toilet Tea Time ; /


It's tea-time! I'm not sure how many Americans love bidet's but in India it's all the craze according to electrical engineer Sandip who designed the biodegradable toilet tea cup! (brace yourself, I think I can recover from this one).

On long cramped commutes, it's hard to cary a decent bidet/douche with you. Most passengers resort to carrying water bottles or tea-cups with them to cleanse their special areas. It is this great frustation with the disparaging act of using a teacup to cleanse oneself that bore Sandip's brainchild, the biodegradable teacup (not FDA approved for drinking or reuse : ). Passengers can now purchase these 1.3 liter containers at the train station and toss them without a care in the world, because they'll be nothing but a memory after an hour of decomposition.


Leave it to the Danes to issue a 500k euro prize for this advent in humanity.

Guilty Green Pleasures - Ladies?

Guilty pleasures can be green too! Julie Apple, former designer at Le Sportsac, has brought better, greener totes, handbags and pouches (Don't ask how I know this lingo : ) I'm going to cut myself short right here before doing further damage to my masculinity.

What I was trying to say was that Julie Apple has incorporated a waterless dye (airdye) into her designs to reduce the water consumed in the production of these bags. Check out the Julie Apple bags and enjoy the guilt-free shopping!
