MacBook Air

Just revealed yesterday at MacWorld in SanFrancisco by Steve Jobs, the new Macbook Air laptop is the thinest laptop on the market, and is part of a step forward in eco-friendly technology. The Air features an recyclable aluminum case (not made of recycled, but someday?), and a mercury- and arsenic-free glass display. The circuit boards are BFR free and PVC free. And due to the economical feel of its design, the packaging has about 50% less volume than the regular MacBook.

Jobs said Apple planned to introduce in 2007 its first displays using arsenic-free glass, but I guess January 2008 is better late than never. By the end of 2008, Apple says it plans to completely eliminate the use of PVC and BFRs in its products.

Recycled Memory Card Holder

With countless phones, cameras, GPS devices and mp3 players, everyone has way too many memory cards just floating around. As a photographer I'm constantly finding cards laying around the house, and have lost a good number along the way. Tom Kenworthy's newly designed Memory Card Holder is one possible solution to your memory card woes.

Made out of recycled plastic cups (seriously), Kenworthy's 3 tiered designed holder looks great. It carries 8 different memory cards in a cool looking slide-out design. It takes only 7 plastic cups to made the holder, and its a great way to keep your cards in one place.

There is no price yet, nor place to buy, but its coming. I'm just hoping they make ones with your choice of card because I have way more CompactFlash cards than anything.

Recycled Metal Tiles For Wall or Floor

Recycled metal tiles add a versatile and textural design element to your kitchen or bathroom wall or floor designs. Metal tiles may also help you achieve balance in your kitchen design when you start to feel overcome by all of the wood. For the urban loft or the suburban ranch, metal tiles appeal to our textural and visual senses and can be designed as funky or finessed as your design tastes allow.

These look pretty good for a kitchen or bathroom wall. They're 100% recycled, come in a variety of shades which allow you to make some interesting patterns, and give you the 'high end' look of metal finishing while saving the planet. Win/Win if you ask me!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all the Eternal Coil readers! I hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday. Blogging starts back up Thursday!

Walmart really isn't green.

Wake-Up Wal-Mart Blog: Wal-Mart's demand for cheap goods strikes again!

Walmart says they are at the front of the green wave, starting to provide eco-friendly products. I personally havn't seen any there, but who knows. Anyway, this article originally in the Huffington Post reports how Walmart has gone back on its 'green statement' and is making suppliers use un-sustainable wood products just to keep prices down. Another shot against walmart. Maybe once the world starts dying people will realize that bigbox stores aren't a good thing.

IXI: The Recyclable Bike

Heres something for next year's Christmas list: the totally recyclable bike! The iXi bike is made from aluminum, which means its recyclable. Most bikes either end up at the dump or as a piece of art when its at the end of its road, but the iXi allows you to send it on its way to become something else.

The bike comes with the normal specs of a regular bike, plus some bonus stuff:

Design-driven bike that makes riding a bike more desirable

Made out of aluminum so the entire bike is recyclable

Rides like a full-size bike

Has a greaseless chain so pants won’t get dirty

Handlebars and pedals fold flat, so it can be stored out of the way

Has a repair kit inside the frame and poncho
