Ecopad, Meet Ecopod (and Get 10% Off, Courtesy of Grist)

Our friends at Single Serve Coffee have blogged about Ecopad, a refillable coffee filter for the Senseo. The refillable pod allows you to enjoy your single serve coffee maker, without worrying about the waste of disposable coffee pods.

Well, move over, Ecopad. And meet Ecopod, the next generation in trash compaction. Or the first generation in recyclable compaction. Or a really cool gadget for your kitchen. Whatever you call it, it does look pretty cool.

Produced by the unusual partnership of BMW DesignworksUSA, Williams-Sonoma, dwell magazine and musician Jack Johnson, Ecopod has removable storage containers for paper, plastic bags, glass bottles and other recyclables. Insert aluminum cans and plastic bottles and step on the pedal to hear what the website calls "the sweet sound of compaction" as they're flattened into a portable pod for curbside collection.

Enter the coupon code GOGRIST in the Promotion Box and receive 10% when you order online.
