Over in Japan, a recent Eco-messe exhibition presented some innovative eco-friendly products that you can use around the home. And they might save you some money, too. NTD’s Yukichi Negishi has more.
STORY:
One of the highlights from the exhibition is the Newspaper Brick Maker. This all-metal case uses old newspapers to make solid papier-mâché-like bricks that can be used as firewood. The device uses only water and recycled newspaper, and can make a cheap substitute to firewood. But some bloggers say they tend to smolder rather than burn if they arent made properly.
Teruhisa Hagiwara describes how it works.
[Teruhisa Hagiwara, T&T Co Ltd.]:
Our Newspaper Brick Maker turns newspaper into a brick that can be used as fuel. You first soak newspaper in water to make pulp. Then put the pulp in the newspaper brick maker, compress it tightly, then take out the brick. Itll be complete when the compressed brick is dried which takes about 7-10 days. Everybody can make it easily.
Another highlight is the water saving toilet flapper. Older toilet flappers only close after all the water is flushed. But this flapper releases air bubbles and allows water to flow into the bowl faster. Then, when the air is released, the flapper closes immediately. The eco-flapper saves about five liters (1.3 gallons) of water a flush.
We asked K&S Creatives Kiyoshi Tsujimoto if he uses the eco-flapper at home.
[Kiyoshi Tsujimoto, K&S Creative]:
Of course, I use it at home. When I use it, I can hear the sound of saving water. When the flapper closes, it has a distinct sound, then I think, hey, I saved water! This is ECO!
If you use these products, savings are sure to start flowing in!

What are some things you can do in the office to reduce CO2 emissions? Some examples include recycling paper by using the other side, turning off your computer when you leave the office, and setting the thermostat temperature to 28 degrees in the summer and 20 degrees in the winter time. But is there anything else that you could do that you have forgotten?
In today’s offices, computers in particular consume a lot of electricity. In fact, one computer consumes 600kWh of electricity per year, and this results in approximately 220kg of CO2 emissions.
Recognizing this problem, TCB Technologies developed SURVEYOR, a software package that monitors, manages and reduces the electricity consumed by computers.
SURVEYOR allows an administrator to easily and quickly set up the power conditions for each computer by classifying the computers into groups.
The standard report shows information such as electricity consumption, the reduction in electricity consumption, a list of computers under management, an electricity consumption forecast, the electric utility bill, and CO2 conditions.
SURVEYOR can also generate customized reports that are tailored to each customer’s needs.
