Tired of using harsh toxic chemicals on your nice natural wood floors? We just found Soy Cream Cleaner, with soybean oil extract and natural volcanic perlite. It cleans, shines, and protects many surfaces without scratching, and without the use of harsh, toxic chemicals. You can use it in your Kitchen & Bathroom: Countertops, Tub-N-Tile, Sinks, Stovetops, Floors, Walls and More! All you need to do is apply directly to wet sponge or soft brush, or directly on stain. Rub lightly letting the micro-scrubbers do the work. Rinse with damp cloth and water and then dry off with a towel.

Need a space to compost in but you live in the city? How about the urban composter. It's very efficient and also takes up less space by standing tall. It's solar powered and will also not smell like an open air compost solution.

Brewing beer at home then why not go organic. Sure they cost a bit more, but because organic malts have less protein you'll get a clearer beer. You can also get a faster fermentation and there's a variety of sites including Brew Organic that can get you started.

Being very natural can sometimes lead to being really dorky. We can't see ever really needing to go this extreme just for a few batteries, but you never know. This solar powered visor features an AM/FM Speaker Radio and speaker all powered by the attached solar panel. We like the fact that instead of burning our nose off at the beach it's converting all of that energy into some excellent beach music. Priced at just $26.50 you can even order it right now from Global Merchants just in time for your Summer vacation.

You can roast your own green coffee beans into coffee ready to brew with the Freshroast Plus 8 Coffee Roaster. It features a glass chamber for a 3.5 oz. roast batch and a fast roast cycle. Ideal for a household of 1 to 2 coffee drinkers, it takes just 5-7 minutes to roast the green coffee beans with a 2 minute cool-down cycle. It also includes a pound of our Fair Trade certified organic Sumatra Takengon green coffee to get you started.
It also features a "natural timer" as there is no electronics or other gizmos to time the roasting process. The timer uses good old mechanical parts and should last a life time of coffee roasting.

If you really want to see how powerful the sun can be and how natural the experience of it is - get a Radiometer. I had one of these as a kid and was always mesmerized by it. 5" high evacuated clear glass stand 3" in diameter at the top. A four bladed vane is balanced on a needle inside the sphere. Because opposite surfaces of the vanes are black and white, incident radiant energy is absorbed or reflected to a different degree. The result is a spinning vane. The brighter the light, the faster it spins. Simple, but compelling.

We like to see a kitchen that's designed to grow food, recycle the waste, and grow more food from the entire process. Old and new methods meet a modern kitchen with composting and also highly efficient appliances and use of solar energy.
The Kitchen of Terrestrial Mechanics is a new kind of kitchen where natural processes and products are integrated in a symbiotic relationship. Old and forgotten technologies revived and new developments are explored. In this kitchen food is grown, stored, cooked and composted to grow more food. Here efficiency and enjoyment are addressed to not as separated elements but integrated in a flexible and playful way creating a flow and interaction between the processes.

Creating a natural yet unnatural terrain for fish that is both beautiful and practical can be a real challenge. Benjamin Graindorge’s Fish Pod is an aquarium re-thought with the inside having a transparent set of rock ridges pushed up from the interior.

It's going to be a greener future if automakers can have their way and consumers can afford to purchase the new cars they're coming out with.
The Swedish subsidiary of the embattled American automotive giant General Motors has already made a name as a leading maker of biofuel cars, which can run on any mixture between ordinary petrol and E85, a fuel blend that contains 85% bioethanol made from plants.
In the future, Saab intends to go one step further with its Bio Power Hybrid, a concept car that combines a plant-powered engine with an electric one, thus reducing emissions even further.
There is no news yet about when such a car could hit the tarmac, but Saab's hybrid head Martin Elliot is confident that in a few years "we'll get something on the market" similar to what is on display.
