This is honestly one of the most innovative and fun eco-friendly ideas we’ve seen since the Kleen Kanteen came out. I mean it’s a moving paradox: the smog from the car is killing the environment which is being supported by the plants growing in the bed. That’s just great. We love to see young people doing things their own way and our hat goes off to you Wicked Delicate.

Now your car can look as fresh as you do in a pair of Igloo shades. I love when simple design enters into new mediums that we wouldn’t normally think of, and this is a prime example. Who’d have thought a car shade could be so pretty? While you’re at the store in Little Italy buying your car some shade, feel free to pick up a copy of our book. Good stuff from great people.

I hate taking my foot off the ground after taking a step and feeling something gooey stretch between the floor and the sole of my shoe. Thankfully, there is such a thing as the bubble gum bin by Anna Bullus. It’s called the GUMDROP and it’s a bin for recycling your gum. Made using recycled sterilized bubble gum and bio-resin, once it fills up, they use all the gum to make more bins. The product trials are only available in the UK, though. Bummer. Hopefully this bin gets wider production! (via Athousandgreatideas)

Here’s another business card (other than this one) that I wouldn’t be too willing to give away, but definitely willing to show off to people because it’s so creative. Studio Kudos designed this clever business card for hairstylist Yuka Suzuki and it doubles as a handy bobby pin holder. Even if you won’t be needing any hair styling anytime soon, you might find the bobby pins useful for securing stray wisps of hair. Or unlocking hand cuffs. (via Cardonizer)

Have you ever thought of trading something in exchange for learning something new? Grand Opening located in New York City is giving people the chance to do just that by opening up trade school classes from January 25th to February 28th. The way it works is simple: people secure spots in classes by meeting their class teacher’s barter needs (basic items and services). People can learn how to produce an exhibition, swing dance, make a meteorite, and much more. I think it’s a neat trade-off and I’m kind of foaming at the mouth because I’m not living in New York City to take advantage of this!

This is the third installment of Undefeated for Converse. It features the same bomber jacket nylon upper, removable velcro logos and orange lining. So sick. Read a great Q&A with the creators here.
