Herman Miller LEAF Lamp

LEAF is an advanced LED light that offers cool task lighting and warm ambient light as well as dimming capabilities -- all controlled by running a finger back and forth over an arc molded onto the base. It is remarkably energy efficient, using 40 percent less energy than a compact fluorescent with the same output. The LEDs are rated to last 100,000 hours, 100 times longer than an incandescent bulb.

Ditto Hangers

Ditto's PET clip hanger is an environmentally friendly solution to the estimated eight billion plastic and wire hangers annually sent to landfills. Our single material design is made out of the most recycled plastic world-wide: PET (the same material water bottles are made of). The traditional clip hanger is made out of up to five different materials (wood, metal, plastic, rubber and vinyl) which make these hangers difficult or impossible to recycle. Our design is made out of one highly recyclable material. Even the clips and springs are made out of 100 percent recyclable PET.

Aquaduct Mobile Filtration Vehicle concept

Aquaduct is pedal-powered vehicle that transports, filters and stores water for use in the developing world. A pump attached to the pedal crank draws water from a large tank, through a filter and into a smaller, clean tank. A clutch engages and disengages the drive belt from the pedal crank, enabling the rider to filter the water while traveling or while stationary.

Andalay

Andalay is the first radical improvement in rooftop solar system design, packaging and installation in more than a decade. Resulting from the R&D efforts of Akeena Solar, a leading solar installer in the US, Andalay delivers extensive reliability, aesthetic and cost benefits to mainstream solar customers. From its integrated look to its fewer roof penetrations and lighter weight to its lack of roof-abrading wires, Andalay is simply less invasive on the rooftop and more pleasing to eye than ordinary systems.
