For now, just a concept, but what a great way to harness your kid’s energy while they play. Rocco the Energy Pal is an entry in the Greener Gadgets design competition. Rocco teaches children about energy generation and conservation by converting kinetic energy created through rocking into electricity. The removable handles are a flashlight or a nightlight to stay up extra late – except, with all that rocking, they won’t be able to. Rocco 2.0 should include an iPod/phone charging adaptor under the mane.
They have a lot of votes, but need more to get to the top. You can see some other cool entries and vote for Rocco here.

Recycled cardboard chair and art storage unit. So far, only available in the UK from what we can tell.

From a technically complex RC Nerf Tank to a simple cardboard t-shirt folding device, five instructables dads will enjoy. Even if you aren’t ready to rewire your electronic mobile’s remote control, they make for a fun read. Here.

This eco furniture is a great replacement for all that plastic stuff that ends up in a landfill. It’s made from the same material as egg cartons.

This tree toy is made of recycled cardboard. A great way to keep the plastic quotient down in your closet.
