A new kind of pouch has been released by Anokimobi LTD., the world’s first range of mobile phone pouches made from eco-friendly and recycled materials. The E-Pouch is constructed with a combination of eco-friendly materials ranging from outer fabrics to recycled filters. This new pouch thus becomes a green alternative to mobile phone pouches on sale in the high street. Even the e-pouch.co.uk website is hosted on a carbon–offset server.

Although initially Anokimobi are launching a range to suit the mobile phone market the E-POUCH can also be used to hold cameras and Mp3 players. The E-pouch can be produced in any size or shape to house other electronic items and Anokimobi will shortly be launching a more protective, robust version suitable for the iPhone and other gadgets.

Don’t be surprised if you soon see solar powered sidewalks lighting up and providing us an interactive way to stroll and drive in. Solar Roadways has received a $100,000 grant from the Department of Transportation to build roads which can display warnings for pedestrians and drivers. Messages and warnings would apparently be shown somewhere in the future where solar panels will be used to power these LED warnings.

Subsequently, the road in front of the drivers would light up with LEDs, displaying the message. The panels themselves also come with a heating unit, so that when it snows, the panels are still readable. Microprocessors within the panels work as the communication between panels. Basically, it sounds like Solar Roadways have covered all their bases.

I just received an email from United Treatment Centers on a new waterless toothbrush that Lindsay Lohan’s mom is set to promote and debut tomorrow.

The Aquafree toothbrush is meant to conserve H2o (a/k/a water) as it cleans with liquid dentrifice. The center is claiming that this toothbrush could potentially save US households, about 2 gallons of water daily. Which when computed among all US households this adds up to BILLIONS of gallons of water that could be saved every day.

Not sure how the liquid dentrifice works and or how no water is to be used. But Lindsay Lohan’s mom is set to premier the Aquafree toothbrush tomorrow at the Go Green Expo in New York.

AT&T has come up with a keen solution to help address the recharging needs of mobile phones and devices with a sensor that can detect if they are not properly plugged in. Once the contraption detects that the handset is not plugged into a charger, it will automatically cut off the power supply from the wall socket, saving consumers rising energy bills and saving on electricity use as well.

Aside from that the Zero Charger also aims to improve charging efficiency when charging a device.

Here is another creation that should help us save more on water. The NoMix toilet is another type of toilet solution that has a urinal in the front half of the bowl. The disposed waste (urine) runs from there to the storage tank. The back half of the bowl is like a conventional toilet, where the solid waste lands and gets flushed away.

Apparently, separating the waste from the urinal system helps wastewater treatment plants gain 80 percent less nitrogen and 50 percent less phosphorous. So in a nutshell, these would help address the fish and wildlife from contracting diseases via water. But this invention needs more improvement if it is to work.

For the waste separation to work most effectively, men needed to sit down to pee. And when women were finished with a urine-only sitting, they needed to do something with their used toilet paper other than flush it. Overall, 60 percent of the users encountered problems of some sort, most notably phosphate precipitate blockages in the urine drainage system. As you can see, it has a long way to go but give the NoMix people credit for breaking the ice.

It seems that an 8% efficiency from plastic solar cells is not enough and now Solarmer Energy is eyeing to up that a notch, 10% efficiency by the end of the year. And that is just the start. Apparently they are eyeing more as the years progress which should be something positive to consider especially in these times that energy sources are becoming a problem.

Considering that solar power is certainly going to be an important part of our future, we certainly hope that they get great results in improving solar technology. With all the rant about solar power to rev up vehicles, homes and gadgets, this will certainly be something that will work to our advantage.

This charger is very uniquely designed as a fan-blade. This design allows it to collect more solar power, and then uses that power to charge your iPad in the same amount of time it would take with the normal iPad chargers.

A popular animal friendly shoe designer is taking trash and sweet vegan fashion to new heights.

The established vegan shoe brand OlsenHaus is branching out into uncharted territory with a new line of shoes made out of recycled television sets. The head designer Elizabeth Olsen is embracing the new GREEN era with full vigor.

That’s why vegan footwear designer Olsenhaus is making a switch of its own—by cladding its entire Fall/Winter 2010 collection of pumps, wedges, stiletto booties, and knee-highs in an innovative polyester microfiber made from trashed television screens.

Vegan shoes by definition are animal-friendly as no leather is used, yet they can go a step further and introduce materials which are earth-friendly as well. That’s exactly what many new vegan shoes designers are now looking into, starting with OlsenHaus.

This new initiative by Sony to help promote the use of bikes rather than emission-harmful cars should address worries of recharging. While others have been slowly disseminating solar charging stations, Sanyo aims to do the same but with a larger scope for their Sanyo Eneloop Bikes.

Sanyo has bared plans to unveil a unique solar parking station which will totally run on solar energy. All converted solar energy will be redistributed to elements such as LED lighting and other equipment necessary to run this operation, while feeding the Backup Batteries as well.

For the people who want to mow their lawn but save on fuel, here is one that should give you some healthy exercise as well. The Mow Cycle is actually a heavy duty recumbent tricycle with a reel mower at the bottom. This should be a perfect solution for working out a sweat and being productive as far as landscaping and cutting those irritating grass which have grown out of proportion.

On the eco-friendly side of things, not only are you losing those excess calories, you also contribute to a greener environment since this is one mower that will not produce those harmful emissions contributing to the growing pollution problem we have been encountering as of late.
