As the Earth Day is just around the corner, we should really get to know some more eco-friendly products, and if possible try to use them instead of conventional ones. So, here, today, a canister vacuum cleaner with auto floor detection-Miele Earth for you. Let’s see this cute little guy’s suppose to save energy and help solve these ecology problems!

Miele Earth is the new canister vacuum cleaner from Miele S5 Series. Powerful 1,200 Watt electronically controlled S 5481 Earth, which is already in stores, is an Eco-friendly canister vacuum cleaner with 33-foot operating range, boasting some of the most energy-saving advancements the industry has to offer. Featuring an AutoEco setting that automatically detects flooring type, be it carpet or smooth floor, the Miele vacuum adjusts power for optimal cleaning performance and energy efficiency. While homeowners tend to think that the highest power setting is best for cleaning all surfaces, this is only true for smooth floors. Upholstery, drapes and carpets require specific settings for optimal cleaning and using AutoEco saves tremendously in energy consumption, and provides better performance and long term care for home furnishings.

Other green features of this canister vacuum from Miele include a 20-year life design model, use of easily recyclable virgin polymers, cadmium and lead-free coatings, water-based paints and low energy consumption. As with other Miele canister type vacuums, the Earth is ideal for indoor air with all fine dust and allergens being trapped in its unique Sealed System featuring a certified HEPA filter and advanced filtering dust bag. Miele revolutionary Filter-Bag consist of multiply, random-spun filter material and protective netting to reinforce the outer layer in order to ensure that dust and debris safely stays in the bag. Inside a Filter-Bag, air guides distribute dust evenly throughout the bag, achieving a 25% longer life cycle without any loss in performance. A downstream HEPA filter then captures even the tiniest of particles, retaining lung damaging particles inside the vacuum. Price for this vacuum is around $970.

Well, pricey yet interesting! Maybe with that money in our pocket we should get this little thing instead of a fancy dress, really! The world is our home, look after it.

With the Earth Day driving closer and closer, the voice of “saving the world” becomes louder and clearer, I guess this is the time we should really be more enthusiastic over these eco-friendly projects as a consumer or a manufacturer alike! On the other hand, cars, the transportation we use almost everyday, is mainly responsible the the global warming problem. As we all aware of that, we’re really glad to see the eco-friendly project in the car industry gradually taking progress. The little “Bug” here looks really nice!

As the cities get more crowded and polluted, numerous automakers and designers are trying to tackle the problem of moving people around efficiently while not using materials that are harmful to the environment. And so is the Brazilian designer Ricardo Fedrizzi, who has recently sent in the images of his “Bug” concept mini car. It is a two-seater auto that is designed to go on a charge, making it a zero emission car for the city. Another point worth noting is the recyclable and renewable materials used to make the body of the car, which greatly reduces the vehicle’s weight. Besides, Fedrizzi’s concept also features an aerodynamic shape to maximize its performance.

Pity that it is only a concept at present and we may have to wait for days (if luckily, you know sometimes it takes months, even years)to see the practical car hit the market. But still this is a big progress, I’m really looking forward to the real one.

Chairs which we love, are basically the most useful furniture in our houses, and a funny chair can always create a good mood for you. We all love funny chairs, it has always been delight to have a funny chair at home or at the office, for that means you can actually have fun whenever you want. How wonderful is that! Well, let’s have a look at the funny chair here.

Incorporating an ‘accordion-like, honeycomb’ structure, the FlexibleLove Virgin designed by Chishen Chiu could accommodate a seating for 8 to 16 people at one time. The product line now consists of two different kinds of FlexibleLove, the Earth 8 and the Earth 16. Both of them are made of recycled materials like the recycled paper, recycled wood waste, etc. When given a simple pull at each end, the furniture could be easily transformed into a semicircular or a circular-shaped seating to hold as many as 16 people. But when folded up, it measures merely one tenths of that.

So, very compact design, nice looking and as the official site says”Furniture from paper. Ecological, Adaptable, Practical.” This is a chair suitable for any place, inside house, office, garden, public region…Always happy to see a beautiful funny chair…Well, how do you like it?

Eco-protecting has been a important thing in our daily life, therefore maybe it’s time for us to reconsider the way we manage our garbages. Here’s a thing about how to make a swanky book case from your old drawers.

Next time you’re about to kick a beat-up clothes dresser to the curb, take a minute to remove the drawers. With a little paint and decorative paper, you’ll make yourself a brand-new modular bookcase.

Home crafting blog Crafty Nest came up with a smart way to repurpose a group of drawers, especially ones that are oddly-sized or mismatched. All it took was a few coats of paint to prettify the outsides and some nice-looking paper to lay down on the bottoms of the drawers (which will become the back of the bookcase once it’s assembled).

Take a few minutes to sand down any rough edges, take off the drawer pulls, fill the in holes with wood putty, and slap on a couple layers of paint. Measuring and fitting the paper into the bottom of the each drawer is the trickiest part, and even that’s no big deal.

Paint a layer of glue onto the wood, then place the paper on top. I found it easier if I poured a thin line of glue onto the surface, then spread it with my paintbrush. Flatten the paper with a brayer or your hands. Smooth out the air bubbles before the glue sets. Let dry.

Now you have yourself a very swanky book shelf, this could be a great addtion to a home office or kids’ play ground. Obviously this isn’t the only way to repurpose a drawer, so tell me your idea!
