Portable iPhone speaker for green geeks
Just like most people today, you too might be one of those that find your life and living space slowly but surely being overtaken by gadgets and gizmos and a gazillion other little accessories that your personal gadgets “need” like chargers, charging docks, speaker docks, headphones, USB connectors and so on. Not only does all this stuff add to the clutter on your desk/nightstand, it also unfortunately adds to your carbon footprint since most of this stuff is made from plastics and needs electricity to run. This is where having plastic- and electricity-free cellphone accessories like the eco-amp really make a great case for themselves~ [ via designbuzz.com ]

Debt salt & pepper shakers
The state of the world economy has been shaky since the global recession in 2008, leaving many people jobless and many were even forced out of their homes due to mortgage woes. Consumerist as we are, the economic crisis appears to be heightened when we find that we cannot afford the same luxuries that we could when the inflow of money was smoother. To highlight the severity of personal economic meltdown and just how depressing and overwhelming the current economic climate is, designer Sebastian Errazuriz has created the Drowning in Debt Salt and Pepper Shaker Set~ The set features an office worker with his work briefcase inside the shaker itself, commenting on the direness of the current global economic climate and how badly it affects the lives of the workers working at the grassroots levels in multinational companies. As the salt and pepper is consumed, the workers emerge from the salt or pepper that symbolize debt or unemployment only to be flooded by it once again when the shakers are refilled. designer:Sebastian Errazuriz [ via designbuzz.com ]
