We constantly get exposed to eco friendly products and stories that are (how can we say) crazy, nuts or "over the top." These stories make us ask the age old question..."Seriously?", which is now a feature on our homepage. Here are the "Seriously?" stories that have run so far.
EDIBLE SHOE POLISH...
It's a shoe cream... It's a facial
moisturizer... It's a
spread for toast???
Yes, meet
PO-ZU Edible
Shoe Cream
and,
according to the company, it's all
of the above.
Seriously?! Made 100%
from coconut,
it not only cleans and polishes shoes,
but it’s also an all-in-one beauty product
that can be used as a lip balm,
skin moisturizer, hair conditioner,
massage
oil and even as an alternative cooking
oil or a "delicious" edible
condiment. Butter and cream cheese
had better
watch their backs...
Yummmmmy...NOT!!
GARBAGE CHAIR...
First of all, as eco friendly as this chair
may think it is, it's about as ugly as you
can get! The idea is that you buy this recycled plastic mesh chair shell and fill
it with all your garbage to create the chair. Seriously?! How can it possibly be comfortable laying back against a bunch
of cans, bottles and assorted other
trash?! Ouch and yuck!
LAWN CHAIR...
This brings a whole new meaning to the term "lawn chair." So, you fit together a cardboard frame, fill and cover it with dirt, sprinkle with grass seeds and voilà!
Seriously?! Just beware of gophers...Unreal...
SOLAR POWER BRA...
Meet the Solar Power Bra, featuring
a solar panel worn around the stomach, which can produce enough electricity to charge your iPod. The best part? The bra
is equipped with two refillable pouches, which can store drinking water or anything else you'd like to carry there. Seriously?
Pay close attention to where the pouches are. Can
you say instant breast augmentation?! We wouldn't recommend wearing this baby under a sheer top...
Wow...
WASH YOUR PLASTIC BAGS...
So what have we here...Let's see...a
nylon (not eco) contraption that fits in
your dishwasher so you can wash
and re-use your plastic bags. Come on, seriously? Have we learned nothing from all the studies about the danger of
re-using plastic bottles?! And, what a hassle! Wouldn't the better eco answer
be not to use plastic bags at all??
GLOBAL WARMING KNICKERS
These "Global Warming Knickers" are magic! Made of 100% organic cotton,
when you first put them on, you can see
the continents. But, as your body warms
them up, "the sea overcomes the land to show the effectsof Global Warming."
Seriously?!
WASHING MACHINE AND TOILET IN ONE
It's a washer...It's a toilet...No...it's both.
The concept is that water
used in the washer is stored in
the toilet to be reused for flushing.
So now you can throw in a load of
laundry, sit down and read a good book
while you take care of business, wait for your laundry to be done and flush!
One question: what if your toilet gets
backed up??
