Could it be used as like a handbag, to walk around with, or maybe instead of a bagpack at school? And would it look weird if I attached a lot of eco friendly pins on it, and where would be a good spot for this?
And do you know any places I can get eco friendly pins?

If you have bought this or looked into it, what are your thoughts? I would love to get some feedback as our WalMart does not carry it and I am leary of purchasing a crib sight unseen.

Best way to freeze portions of meat?

Thursday, August 20th, 2009
unchienne asked:


I don’t eat a lot of meat, so I tend to break up packages into smaller portions of one or two pieces each. Ideally, I’d love it if each piece could just be flash frozen thereby eliminating the hazzle of having them stick to each other and the threat of freezerburn, but my fridge doesn’t have that capability. So I’m looking for a economical way to wrap and store portions of meat which will protect against freezer burn with minimal product usage. I currently have the ziplock bags that suction the air out, but two or three pieces of meat per ziplock bags isn’t very economical and I’d love something a bit more eco-friendly or reuseable. Wax paper and Saranwrap both freeze together and are messy, and while the Press-n-Seal method does seem to work at getting the items not to stick together, the food always seems to pick up a bad freezer taste when I’ve used this in the past. Maybe it’s just the way I do it. Any suggestions?

great idea for electric companies?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
~:.:Bizkit:.:~ asked:


do you think this is a good idea?
you can take it if you want
but im just wondering

since theres such a demand in electricity
they can find more ways to produce it..
well
they can use the products at everyday places to power those places..
they can use the stationary bikes at gyms to produce power (like hamsters on treadmills)
they can use the water flow through pipes to create energy (like at a water dam)
they can use basic thing like small wind mill things on buildings to power them
they would be saving thousands yearly and being eco friendly right?
its a bit confusing
but im sure youll get the hand of it
:]
give me your opinion?

What are your ideas for eco-friendly projects or inventions?

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009
StephenWeinstein asked:


I am working at a green design company that is looking for new ideas. These could be ideas for buildings, for products, or for projects. Basically, any idea that seems good, but requires some engineering or design work. Our selection criteria include aesthetics, affordability (we are looking for things “for the masses”, not things for the super-rich), and environmental sustainability.
