I really like this simple solution for turning Mason Jars into travel mugs. I like to reuse jars for all kinds of things, but when you want to take your drink on the go, the large mouth can get splashy. If your kids are a bit older too – meaning they have graduated from the “I will throw cups across the room for fun” stage – this is could be a sippy cup solution as well.
What a simple and brilliant idea. I hope they sell millions of them.
You can buy them on the Cuppow site.

This is a “trophy” that even a hardcore vegan wouldn’t mind putting on their wall.

Anything that makes any type of cleaning job even a little bit easier is totally worth it from my perspective.
This works with standard plastic grocery bags.

I have been hearing about this design from a friend of mine for a while, who is involved with it in some way. The inventor/CEO is a very smart guy named Jason Foster who realized that most of our household liquid cleaners are made mostly of water. His revolutionary packaging reduces shipment costs and container waste by extending the life of the spray bottle. He took it all a step further and made it totally recyclable by removing the metal spring from the spray mechanism.
Love the design as well. Congrats Jason!

Some kids need that extra bit of privacy when learning to go all on their own. I say, “Hey, whatever it takes.” Stickers, stars, bribery – anything to get them out of diapers. And, if it helps, I’d even consider buying my child their very own private cardboard outhouse for encouragement.
Found this, like so many other great things via minor details

Because people aren’t the only creatures who need to use green tech. And birdhouses need lights apparently. Still, its cool looking and the birds’ll love it.

For now, just a concept, but what a great way to harness your kid’s energy while they play. Rocco the Energy Pal is an entry in the Greener Gadgets design competition. Rocco teaches children about energy generation and conservation by converting kinetic energy created through rocking into electricity. The removable handles are a flashlight or a nightlight to stay up extra late – except, with all that rocking, they won’t be able to. Rocco 2.0 should include an iPod/phone charging adaptor under the mane.
They have a lot of votes, but need more to get to the top. You can see some other cool entries and vote for Rocco here.

This eco furniture is a great replacement for all that plastic stuff that ends up in a landfill. It’s made from the same material as egg cartons.

Created by a preschool teacher. Organic Fun Dough is an organic, totally non-toxic, toy. I like the look of this.

This tree toy is made of recycled cardboard. A great way to keep the plastic quotient down in your closet.
