$7 on Fab. The KeepCup is coined 'barista standard' because any barista can make the perfect cup of espresso drink to-go—even your triple soy non-fat latte with fancy foam—right inside the cup, thus eliminating waste from disposable paper coffee cups and plastic lids. It mimics the functionality of paper cups by being coffee machine compatible and features a lid, plus it’s lightweight for portability

If you are a fan of a hard boiled eggs like me, then pay attention to this quick tip.  The next time you boil a dozen eggs, save the water and pour it on your garden and plants.  The water becomes enriched with calcium when the eggs are cooked.  Plus, why pour water down the sink when you can reuse it for something, right?

WASARA is a line of single-use, biodegradable and compostable pieces designed to accentuate whatever foods they contain. They're suitable for cold or hot (though not boiling) beverages and foods. They're oil- and water-resistant, which makes them great for displaying food- and non-food items. WASARA products elevate disposable tableware to a whole new level. Offering the best in Japanese design, these pieces fit comfortably in the hand, with an elegant texture and sturdy quality that are unparalleled in the category. Sheer beauty is only half the story, though: WASARA is also an earth-conscious product. Made from tree-free renewable materials (sugar cane fiber, bamboo, and reed pulp), and fully biodegradable and compostable, WASARA is as good to the earth as it is to your culinary creations.

Moss graffiti, also called eco-graffiti or green graffiti, replaces spray paint, paint-markers or other such toxic chemicals and paints with a paintbrush and a moss “paint” that can grow on its own. As people become more eco-friendly and environmentally aware, the idea of making living, breathing graffiti has become a more green and creative outlet for graffiti artists. It can also be considered another form of GUERRILLA GARDENING. What you will need: One or two clumps (small handfull) of moss. 2 cups of buttermilk. (you can substitute with yogurt/vegan yogurt can be used) 2 cups of water (or beer) 1/2 tsp. sugar. Corn syrup. (optional) Steps: Gather up as much moss as you can find or buy. Wash the moss to get as much soil out of the roots as possible. Break moss apart into manageable pieces and place in a blender. Add the buttermilk/yogurt, water/beer and sugar. Blend the mixture until completely smooth. You’ll want it to have a paint-like texture. (If the mixture is at a consistency where you feel it will drip, add corn syrup until the consistency you desire is reached) Use a paintbrush to apply the moss-paint to the surface on which you wish your design to grow. **If possible, check back weekly to either spray the design with water (to encourage moss growth, especially if you live in a dry environment) or apply more moss-paint.
