Lizard made from Soda and Bottle Caps!
Lizard made from Soda and Bottle Caps!
Check out this cool lizard, all made from soda and bottle caps.
What’s interesting is the artist behind this Lizard, Val Hunt makes all kinds of neat things with recycled material (crap). We need more artists like this who can turn something trash into work of art.
Great stuff Val, keep ‘em coming.
Reincarnated Rubbish is Val Hunt’s touring solo exhibition. Despite her use of manufactured materials from foil, take-away containers, computer parts and especially drinks can metal much of her inspiration comes from natural forms. Patterns, colours and logos aften appear on the finished, expertly crafted objects.

EcoJohn - Eco Toilet Incinerates your Poop!
This has to be the coolest eco-frienldy device for taking a dump. It’s an Eco Toilet that works by incinerating your poop to white powder. Even better, the incinerated poop can be used for adding nutrition to your plants.
With the Eco Toilet in the works, we will no longer need long septic pipes to our houses, just one little toilet that does the job for you.
Of course, I have not tested this unit. The only thing I am afraid of is the fact that it’s going to smell somewhat like burnt poop somewhere along the line but perhaps I might be wrong on this.
The toilets, one of several waste disposal products offered by the company, operate pretty much like the units found in homes across America today. But while those toilets use water to carry waste away, the EcoJohn Sr. is equipped with a propane-fueled burner.
After a user does his business, he closes the lid and a large, screw-like auger turns and carries the waste to the burn chamber where the propane burner then bakes urine, feces and paper into ashes.
“With this, if you have a family of four for a year and half, you get about a cup of white ash,” company president Frank Jacobsonsaid. “And because it’s burnt so intensely, you can take it and put it in a flower bed or outside or just dump it in the trash can. It’s completely biodegradable, so there’s not a problem for disposal.”

VHS Tape Purse!
At $50, you can save the environment and also support the artists who make purses out of old VHS tapes.
Bag crocheted out of VHS tape with a fused plastic liner made from a trash bag that was originally used as a dropcloth for some of our art projects. Bag was turned inside out and fused then hand sewn into the purse to create the liner.
The body of of this bag is entirely made out of recycled plastics including the lining.
The zipper and handle are not recycled though.
