We here at Bedzine support Green living wholeheartedly and hence absolutely love the Gaon Street Light Concept concept. The idea is to make use of the city garbage cans to light up streets! The lamppost has been designed by Haneum Lee in such a way that it composts trash so that the methane byproduct can be used a fuel to juice up the lamps! Not a bad idea at all but unfortunately it may just remain a concept for a long long time.

Enjoy outdoor lunches with a lot of panache by eating on a rustic outdoor table. You don’t need to purchase something like this as you can make it at your own backyard.

Here is something neat for the home. As you know, after reading the daily newspaper, we often stack them and then tie them and prepare them for pickup by the recyclers. But with this newspaper bundle bin, don’t go to the trouble of re-organizing old paper. It simply stacks them and all you have to is tie them up and you are good to go.
When full, the spaces underneath make it simple to tie the bundle without lifting. The four handles make this container easy to lift and perfect for curbside collection of newspapers.
Price: $19.99

We here at Bedzine are big fans of designers who think green. Hence we love the Some Shine Solar Energy Storage System developed by Ming-Ching Hsueh. The idea behind the concept is simple and therefore quite brilliant. Just hang the curtain near the window and hook up your battery-pack to the base. The curtain then stores the solar energy from the sun and can hence charge all your gadgets. Told you its great!

Continuing with our Think Green Theme, check out the Braun Envi urban dustbin, which is all about “promoting composting from biodegradable waste.” What ever you thrown in the bin changes into compost due to the photo catalyst process. However it’s important that the thrash is biodegradable. The Braun Envi urban dustbin is the brainchild of designers Julien Bergignat, Cecilia Jia & Johnny Chen.

This DIY shows you how to make Cardboard Lumber which can be used in various building projects like tables, chairs, etc.
By laminating sheets of cardboard together into a large block and cutting this up with a table, or circular saw, you can create cardboard lumber of any dimensions you want: 2x4s, 2x8s, 4x4s. If you alternate the grain of the corrugations you can create plywood. If you glue your lumber together end-to-end you can create strong honeycomb-like boards.
You will only need three things to create cardboard lumber: 1) A Saw 2) Lots of cardboard 3) Glue…
Now here is something that eco-friendly people will find interesting. Seemingly you have to wonder how many pieces of paper (used or recycled I hope) were used to mold this Crumbled Rumped Paper Sofa. From a glance, it looks like disorganized cloth but walk a bit closer and you will find that it is all made of paper.
Actually if you are pa

Now this is what I call recycled furniture! University of Wisconsin art student Hongtao Zhou’s “Ice & Snow Furniture Raised From Lake Mendota” not only shows the designer’s intelligence but also his predilection towards the environment
“They connect the lake, the land, the air and the people and complete a life cycle with minimum environmental impact,” explains Zhou.
