5   The KangerHanger Pouch

The KangerHanger Pouch Bag serves as a laundry hamper, duffle bag, garment bag and carrying bag. Even better, it’s a secured zipper pouch at the base of the bag, making it the ultimate 5-in-1 bag. Perfect for trips to the gym or traveling, users can store gym clothes and shoes in the pouch while keeping work clothes fresh and wrinkle-free in the garment bag compartment. Also ideal for recycling hangers, the pouch is just the right size to store wire hangers while protecting wearables. The KangerHanger Pouch Bag is available in six colors and two lengths. thegreengarmento.com.

6   Bottles Up!

The BottlesUp glass water bottle is created from recycled glass and is free of toxins. Designed with the human hand in mind — the midsection tapers and silicon rings provide “gription” allowing an easy, comfortable grasp of the bottle. The heavier design of the BottlesUp glass water bottle ensures it can handle the everyday tumble. For convenience, the bottle easily fits into most car cup holders and can greatly help the environment. It comes in 22-ounce and 16-ounce sizes. bottlesupglass.com.

 

 

 

 

 

7   Seattle’s Straw Garden

Straw Garden is a six-month installation built under the Space Needle and next to the EMP Museum at the Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington. Straw Garden mixes materials from the modern practices of restoration and erosion control with the design of historic Baroque gardens. It uses wattles-netted bundles of straw and coconut fiber, know as coir, laid out in the shape of a baroque garden pattern inspired by Versailles. The symmetrical pattern spools out in one corner to dissolve into a scrolling watershed form. Like a baroque parterre garden, it affords two views: on foot, at ground level and from above, in the monorail and Space Needle. The coir wattles are planted with perennials and shrubs native to the region. Over the summer, the plants grow and continue to bloom. stacylevy.com.

8   Costeau to the Rescue!

Gaming for good isn’t a new concept. But actually having an impact is another story…until now. Last month, social game developer SGN released an update to their popular Rescue Reef game that lets gamers donate to Philippe Cousteau’s nonprofit Earth Echo International while playing to save endangered species. SGN CEO Chris DeWolfe, who is also a founder of MySpace, and Cousteau hope the partnership will encourage more organizations to incorporate green gaming into their communications strategies.
