		<title>Xeros washing machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Xeros washing machine, currently in development at Leeds University in the U.K., uses only a cup of water to wash a load of clothes, and a fraction of the energy a typical machine requires. Rather than water, the Xeros cleans with reusable nylon beads that attract stains. Because the clothes come out clean and [...]

		<title>DBA pen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

This pen is 98% compostable&#8211; everything except the nib. Most pens can&#8217;t be recycled, because they&#8217;re made of a mix of different plastics, chemicals, and steel. The DBA pen is made of a potato-based, non-GMO material, and the ink reservoir inside is made from a renewable, biodegradable fiber. The ink itself is nontoxic, unlike the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[
Philips&#8217; new LED bulb is designed to replace the standard 60-watt incandescent, while lasting 25 times longer and using 20% less energy. If everyone in the U.S. switched to this type of bulb, it would save enough energy to power 17 million homes. Unlike CFLs, LEDs don&#8217;t contain mercury, so they are less dangerous to [...]

		<title>(Re)Drive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This 500GB hard drive is cased in bamboo and recycled aluminum; the aluminum acts as a heat sink, so a cooling fan isn&#8217;t needed. The packaging is minimal, with instructions printed within the cardboard box rather than on separate paper, no CD, and no plastic bag. Though these are good steps, the real impact from [...]
