Green Round-Up: Our Favorite Green Innovations of the Week

Friday, September 5th, 2008
At CTC, we can’t get enough of the cool earth-saving inventions and ideas that keep popping up all around us.  Here are some of our favorites of the week brought to you by our fellow eco-bloggers:
  1. TreeHugger informed us of Coca-Cola’s new “eKOfresh” vending machines that were exhibited at every Olympic venue in Beijing.   
  2. The Budget Ecoist discussed a new motion-powered cell phone charger to be released next year by M2E Power.
  3. EcoGeek shared another kinetic energy concept — The Revolution Door from Fluxxlab — generating energy from revolving doors.
  4. Environmental Graffiti introduced us to the Green Microgym — a new human-powered gym in Portland, Oregon.
  5. While this GreenUpgrader posting is technically from last week, I couldn’t resist including the really hip, yet eerie invention — ARKA Ecopod, a compressed recycled paper coffin!
