Toyota hasn’t been a fan favorite over the past few months. With the recalls of many popular models, the company has done its best to save face with the public. The Toyota Prius has proved itself to be the company’s customized auto-safety kit. The Kelley Blue Book, largest auto valuation company in the U.S., has named the Prius as the top green car! I think Toyota deserves a round of applause for this victory. A promotional bumper sticker would be a nice gift to anyone that owns a Prius. It could say ” Even though we’ve caused accidents and deaths, thanks for choosing Toyota! Home of the #1 green car in America!”. Maybe the message starts off a little rough, but you get the drift. Congrats again to Toyota!

There are so many customized cell phone accessories on the market that it can be hard to make a conscious decision on which to choose. However, now the decision has just gotten a little easier. Grove, a marketing and programming group out of Oregon, produced a new line of customized bamboo products for the iPhone. Eco-friendly products are making a splash in all markets, but Grove’s designs are more fashion forward than most. Team iPhone is getting the upper hand in terms of the availability of customized phone accessories. Bamboo is becoming a leader in the eco-friendly design market as well.

The Earth is a beautiful place, but it’s not often that many of us get to see that beauty on a daily basis. Common studio has designed a vending machine that dispenses customized planting seeds, also called Seed Bombs, for residents to use in vacated land lots and sidewalk grass areas. It’s a way to enjoy the wonders of Earth and how easy it is to make your community look better. The vending machines are available in certain parts of Los Angeles currently and the option to buy is open to individuals, schools, and businesses. Green Studio will create a community intervention plan and will the customized seedlings. I think this a fun and informative way for communities to come together for a cause that is good for them as well as the Earth.

When celebrities lend their face to a cause it means that the issue is pressing. Dolphin captivation is a devastation happening in Japan. In this PSA for The Cove, A-list celebrities tell is why we should save our precious friends. The video shows shocking footage of dolphins being punished and killed for their meat, which is mercury filled anyway. Another great way for celebrities to lend a hand to this world issue would be to collaborate on customized Eco-friendly apparel to benefit the cause.
