Please don’t hurt yourself rushing to buy this piece of crappy Chinese solar technology.


This collapsible traffic cone presumably fits in one’s trunk. The little built-in solar panel charges a rechargeable battery that powers red LED bulbs. Add some reflective ‘material’ and you have a supposedly green highway safety gadget.

Bask in the intrinsic character and beauty of reclaimed wood flooring while doing your part to conserve our trees and forests. Deforestation and logging of old growth forests are a threat to ecosystems worldwide, why not do your bit for the planet while imbuing your home or office with the natural richness and warmth reclaimed lumber can provide. Kansas City-based, Elmwood Reclaimed Timber creates great looking wood flooring from reclaimed woods including white oak, heart pine, chestnut and walnut.

Elmwood also creates reclaimed wood counter-tops, paneling, mantels, cabinets and ceilings. They keep it green in all phases of their operation, and all of their antique wood products are 100% reclaimed from old buildings, barns, rural structures and sustainable sources of reclaimed timber. They’re also FSC certified.
