EcoForms by Ami Kealoha
Though East Coasters are currently experiencing a strangely warm winter, we're already fantasizing about spring planting. For an eco-friendly alternative to plastic with a no-frills look, EcoForms are made from compressed grain husks with natural, water-soluble binding agents. No pollutants are used in the manufacturing process, all byproducts are recycled and at the end of their five-year lifespan, EcoForms will biodegrade completely. Made to withstand freezing and thawing, the pots provide root insulation for better growing and have efficient drainage systems. Available in six neutral colors, EcoForms come in dimensions ranging from 3"-12" diameters and custom orders are possible by contacting sales [at] ecoforms [dot] com.

Spranq Ecofont
by Ariston Anderson If one of your resolutions was to start shifting toward a green lifestyle, we've got an easy way for you to start that involves little more than using a new eco-friendly font. While it may seem that a change in typography won't have a big impact, consider that electronic pollution (or E-waste) takes up 2% of America's trash in landfills, but 70%...

Element Carbon Fiber and Helium Skateboard
Element Skateboards furthers the evolution of the skateboard deck with their new Push Construction Positive Negative Series. The Push Deck is a skateboarding paradox. Lighter than any other deck, it's also more durable. This innovative structure is a result of the combination of the responsiveness and power of carbon fiber with the durability of Element's own featherlight helium construction (i.e. there's air inside). The...

Idiom 2009
Here's an early look at what's to come from one of our favorite snow wear brands Idiom. As we've come to expect from Burton's high end label, it seems as though designers Jeff Staple and Hiroshi Fujiwara have kept the 2009 line simple, attractive and technical, just the way we like it. Following suit with Burton's plans to become more environmentally responsible, going green...

Pineapple Paper Furniture
Establishment (an interior design outpost in Manhattan) recently tipped us to Pineapple Paper Furniture, a new line of benches and chairs made from compressed pineapple fibers. We like the Doonya Chair (pictured above right, $1,900) as well as the Nut Bench (pictured after the jump, $2,900). They hadn't been added to the website last time we checked, but you can email Establishment directly: info...

Wingrider Bicycle Clip
To add a little Greek god/comic book style to your daily bike commute, these winged straps will do the trick.
