Photo: Flickr , CC The Washington Post has a nice – if a bit breathless – profile of Energy Secretary Steven Chu. It shows how this man is infusing new life into a department that was mostly directed by people without much scientific or technical knowledge in the past (Dr. Chu is a Nobel-winning physicist, while the previous 11 energy secretaries were: a financier, three business executives, an a… Read the full story on TreeHugger

FDA Certified Biodegradable Vegan Condoms? Here is a story you do not excpet to read too often, but is at the same time great news. As long as they can protect then that is all that maters.These FDA Certified 100% Biodegradable Vegan condoms are made by Sir Richard and I like their slogan as well: “Doing good never felt better.” Here is the full story: Mathew Gerson and Mark Kreloff, noting that a mere 10% of the global demand for free condoms is met on an annual basis, decided that they would focus on offering an ethically produced product made from 100% biodegradable, Fair Trade certified latex that would bestow every person with the basic human right to enjoy safe sex. The result of their efforts has been dubbed Sir Richard's, an FDA certified prophylactic which will make vegans leap for joy due to its lack of milk protein-based casein which is traditionally used to process latex. Intent on empowering consumers with a responsible contraceptive that arms them with personal safety, Sir Richard's condoms take things to the next level since each purchase is backed with the donation of a comparable condom to health-focused organizations located in Uganda, Haiti and Thailand committed to thwarting the spread of STDs. Unlike the US version – which is packaged in a striking plaid wrap that is designed to appeal to the college, female and gay populations – the international versions will be culturally rebranded so that local recipients will feel more comfortable using them. Despite having to adhere to FDA regulations regarding individual Mylar wrappers (which are not recyclable), the company will place multiple condoms in a recyclable cardboard box which could, in the future, be embedded with wildflower seeds if things go according to plan. Ultimately, they hope that by offering their slick looking, eco-sensitive product in somewhat hipster-friendly forums such as American Apparel and Anthropologie, they will slowly but surely pave the way for more widespread acceptance and a far better level of consumer comfort. added by: greywrld

Image: DBA When you realize how amazing it is when little things add up, look no further than your pen. Conventional pens are often mass produced with non-recyclable, petroleum-based materials, filled with inks that contain toxic chemicals and blister-packed in non-recyclable PVC packaging. It’s a recipe that means these small but major candidates are seriously plugging up our landfills when you multiply these factors millions of times over. That’s why we can appreciate DBA’s 98 Pen, which is not only 98% biodegradable but is also eco-friendly from its manufacture to its packaging. Take a look at some of these staggering pen statistics: … Read the full story on TreeHugger
