Consider putting it to good use and donating it to ReCellular’s Phones for Haiti program, a cell phone recycling initiative to provide disaster relief for the recent Haiti earthquake. There are over one billion used phones sitting around and gathering dust, and just a tiny percentage of those could equal millions of dollars for quake victims.

Squeezable and Rechargeable Lantern
The Kutch Lantern is very similar to some other lanterns already in the market but one thing is does differently is you can squeeze its squeezable body to activate it. Otherwise you turn it on by spinning a rotary dial at the base. Speaking of which it charges with a dock. No details on how long the charge will hold or how long the light will last but isn’t this just perfect for those moonlit strolls?
Designer: Charles Jones

[ See more under Home & Garden or in the Art & Design category ]
Forward thinkers were some of the first environmentalists. Nowadays, most of us recycle. As always, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

It’s a reoccurring theme to see trees made from recycled plastic bottles. In Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, these Christmas trees were created with discarded trash. The lights were strung as well as tinsel made from the bottle caps. Then these trees were proudly on display within the city.

Curious what else you can do with approximately 400 Mountain Dew cans? Well the creator of this tree saved three months of soda drinking cans and spent four days constructing this Christmas tree. He used PVC pipe for the trunk, construction markers for the branches and drilled the pipe to fit the construction flags. The end result is quite striking.
Plastic Fork Tree

This tree was made from plastic forks. Even the star on top is made from pointy plastic utensils. Keep this in mind before you throw out those disposable forks and spoons. Finally, there may be something worthwhile to do with your sporks.

These Christmas trees have been created from postcards, magazines, books and even shredded paper. The top gift tree was created by cutting and folding postcards into gift boxes and then layered to form a tree. Too many magazines on your hands? The middle tree was constructed from hundreds of magazine face cutouts, folded and then arranged in a tree shape. If you like white Christmas trees, make use of your shredded papers. Another way to use magazines and books when you are done is to fold them into Christmas tree shapes like on the bottom right.

The machine age design puts particular emphasis on practicality and efficiency that is achieved through principles of machine age that is clean, lean and devoid of ornamentation.
Defined by its blending of streamlined forms and use of industrial materials like chrome and plastic, machine age design serves as foundation for Art Deco movement such as the Art Deco Computer Keyboard.
The machine age projects inspiration came from a 1930s radio design, the radio being Silvertone 6110 that was made by Sears and Roebuck. The backside of Silvertone is made of Bakelite, which is a sort of primitive plastic. It uses sawdust as filler and has a tendency to be very brittle. Its best feature is its glossy finish. The radio comes in 40 GB 3.5 hard drive with Micro-cool Northbridge and Southbridge heatstinks. It is made up of Delta 92mm FFB series case fan and dual green 4 CCFL units.
Coming over to machine age design, its function and form are united in a common dialogue. Beauty comes from within. The art of machine age describes the composition, rhythm, balance and symmetry as inherent properties of functions served.
