Hospital In Manhattan Gets First Ever Eco Energy Plant

Posted: 05 Nov 2009 10:19 AM PST

In NewYork, a Manhattan hospital installs first ever eco energy plant.

NYP Hospital switched from traditional coal gas to eco friendly energy in order to provide cleaner air to patients, not to mention save a bundle in annual energy costs. And the yearly (co2 savings) from the co-generation plant will amount to removing 3,600 automobiles off the road.

As for how it works, below in their own words, New York-Presbyterian Hospital explains:

The 7.5-megawatt power plant burns natural gas in a turbine to generate electricity continuously for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Heat from the turbine, which is usually wasted as exhaust gas, is captured and reused to generate steam for heating and cooling.

What about a power outage? The hospital senior VP of facilities development explains that a back-up power source is in place, which would go into effect and not compromise critical patient areas.

For more details on this ground breaking energy technology, visit NYP.

recycled lego cuff links from guffly

We told you about Guffly a few months back and how they have a new eco friendly product listed daily on their website. It’s like Woot!, but green.

Well they have recently announced that they’re adding a TOP GUFFS section, as demand for their items has increased and they want to satisfy customers looking for more than just the daily offerings.

The Top Guffs currently include customer favorites like the Buckle Up Tote made from reclaimed seatbelt scraps into a functional and stylish purse, Lego My Recycled Cuff Links made from the favorite childhood toy, and a Recycled Circuit Board Business Card Case that is made from discarded circuit boards. Each of the products is clearly labeled with what makes it eco-friendly, a label earned only after the team has researched the product to prevent greenwashing.

So in addition to the Daily Guff, now you can also enjoy their “Top Guffs” section, with lots of cool unique eco friendly gift products.

Unfortunately their site seems to be down at the moment though, it seems they’re getting loads of traffic. But bookmark the site and visit again in abit, you won’t be disappointed.

Recycled Paper USB Drive From Boardy

Posted: 04 Nov 2009 08:42 PM PST

recycled paper usb drive

Yes, you read that right. An enterprising company from the Netherlands has managed to come out with a paper USB drive. And recycled paper at that.

The Boardy Paper USB drive is similar in properties to conventional USB drives, but Boardy’s in essence does away with the casing completely. Only paper is used.

Quite unusual, but it works. Well it works in the manufacturing sense.

The Boardy site is pretty bare and not much other info is available, such as price, size, and memory.

But have a look at the drive in the pic above.

Adorable Recycled Wool Pillow From FeltWerker

Posted: 04 Nov 2009 05:38 PM PST

recycled welt fool pillow

Lovely philosophy from FeltWerker on why she uses and chooses recycled wool felt over virgin felt wool.

Feltwerker says she is drawn to recycled wool sweaters because:

Working with recycled sweaters is very inspiring, the colors are so vibrant the texture so nubby and of course repurposed. My goal is to produce functional objects that bring out a soulful response to ooh and ahh and caress. A frequent comment to my flower pins is ‘they look like candy!’

Resale shops are my favorite place to shop and where I find fabulous sweaters for felting.

Sometimes I feel like I am drowning in felt! My goal is to use all of the scraps that I create. It’s definitely a challenge. Help me out by buying scraps. You’ll love them!

As an animal lover, when you use recycled wool, less animals have to go through (what they go through) for the use of their wool. And as an environmentally friendly option, reclaimed wool is easier on the planet when you think of the energy saved by not creating virgin wool.

The cute pillow pictured above is one of FeltWerker’s creations and it features recycled felt wool from a gently used sweater and wool inside to make it nice and plump to lay on. It’s quite adorable and from the looks of it, seems to be well crafted as well.

For more such lovely pieces, visit FeltWerker on Etsy.
