Just found these super cute cases for the iPod, or any similarly sized MP3 player.

The MP3 cases are made from recycled rice bags and also come with a band to secure the device tight. This item is no longer available on the Urban Outfitters site, but I did find a similar case at an online shop called Cambodian Shopping, also made from sustainable materials.

Be sure to look at our recycle category for more great items made using up-cycled materials.

Concept Car Turns CO2 to Oxygen

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 09:30 PM PDT

Called the YeZ, this is another solar-powered car concept which acts like a tree. It takes in carbon dioxide and then releases oxygen just like an ordinary tree would. The YeZ carries a tree-like design and comes with a canopy to serve as shade for the driver to make it look like a leaf.

The energy created by this process, small wind turbines fixed to the wheels and solar panels on the vehicle's canopy are what will keep it rolling.

Magic Charger Concept

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 09:28 PM PDT

It looks like a two-toned Rubik's Cube but it is really the shell for a new kind of charger. It comes completely designed with symbols where you have to try and match them. The concept makes use of motion-generation, each turn of which is equivalent to generating power.

Exactly how much energy it could generate is unknown, it is a concept after all. You can pull the top layer of blocks up to reveal a USB port for charging devices.
