Ikea’s new solar-powered lamp is completely plug-free. I’d be curious to see how much light it puts out and for how long. $20, in-store only.

This footed fruit and cheese board from Swedish Guy Designs is made from reclaimed wood, as are all of his items. I love the mix of rustic wood and sleek, atomic legs. Very chic.

It may not be easy being green, but being green just got really easy on the eyes. These single-use plates and bowls from WASARA are beautiful and totally sustainable. Talk about fancying up the average summer BBQ.

Trees are usually the subjects of art, not the artists. But, apparently they aren’t half bad at the whole thing.

This air purifier looks like something from Star Trek, but apparently you can pick one up at your local Home Depot. It uses the plant’s natural ability to absorb pollutants to clean the air in your home. Seems like a big task for such a little plant.

These lids are specially designed to make your old tin cans into useful household accessories. What a perfect way to reuse all of those pumpkin and green-bean cans this season. Not to mention, the perfect gift for your favorite recycler.
