Goodbyn Lunchbox Line Up

Lunch boxes have been revolutionized with the new Goodbyn Lunchbox. The exterior surfaces of this 5-compartment lunchbox (with beverage container) come unadorned, so that the kids can use the included 250 stickers to customize it as THEY see fit.  The design is good for kids and the planet,  as it is BPA and Phthalate free and 100% recyclable.  It’s easy to open for little hands and should make kids more excited about packing lunch from home instead of buying pre-packaged or cafeteria foods.  Available in 4 colors.

In November 2009, Hong Kong will deploy the world’s first fleet of solar-powered ferries. According to Solar Sailor, the ships’ creator,  these amazing solar-powered ferries will cut carbon dioxide output in half on a typical urban ferry route, and save $6 million in fuel costs over a 15-year lifespan. What’s not to like? I hope to get to ride one of these hi-tech ferries next time I’m in Hong Kong. (via Dvice)
