Daily Dump Home Composting by Lost At E Minor
Based in Bangalore, India, Daily Dump (an unfortunate but memorable name) offers designer clay composting containers that are a lot more rustic and stylish than the green plastic bins generally available in the West. Composting is a great way for both rural and urban households to minimize garbage while also producing nutrient-rich soil that can be used for household plants and homegrown produce.
They also offer several different models for different needs, and provide clear and easy instructions for how to start your own composting pot. If they're doing this in Bangalore, there's no reason why people can't do it in Baltimore.

Fresh Snack Packs
by Laura Neilson As the fervent war against plastic wages on, Fresh Snack Pack reusable sandwich and snack bags are a clever and eco-friendly alternative to the disposable kind. Made from PVC-free, non-toxic plastic, the Packs come in two sizes (sandwich and snack). They feature an easy-to-open velcro closure and, because economizing doesn't necessarily mean eating PB and J sandwiches every single day, these handy...

Like-it Recycle Dust Station
If you're the type of person who gets a rush out of visiting The Container Store, then listen up.

EcoTowl Bamboo
The EcoTowl Bamboo is a 20” x 12” super absorbent, washable natural cloth that replaces the convenient-yet-wasteful disposable paper towel (and the earlier non-bamboo EcoTowl). Made from 82% bamboo—one of the world's fastest growing fibers—it was a finalist in the “Green By Design” category in the 2008 Gourmet Product Show. Laudably, much of the company employs developmentally disabled workers to manufacture many of its...
