Why not go eco-friendly with your i-Phone? Recommended by the March 2009 edition of People Style Watch, the sustainable phone cover named Miniot protects your communication to the world as well as following Gore’s objective to make the world a greener place. With all this news about the ecosystem and the environment, I think that this is a simple way of helping make Mother Earth a better place. It is important for all of us to lend a helping hand as cheesy as that may sound and do whatever we can to conserve and protect the environment.

It may be a bit expensive for a student in today’s recession world being approximately $106, but I mean, wouldn’t you rather purchase this than go out on a Sunday for 24 hours picking up last night’s fraternity waste all over campus. I mean honestly that sounds utterly horrible.

Helping the world does make you warm and fuzzy. Check it out at www.miniot.com . It is also pretty cool looking as it is made of wood from responsibly harvested forest. It is available in Padouk/Maple and Wenge/Maple. Whichever Maple you happen to choose, I think they are ultra sophisticated and sleek. Hey, you never know you may even start the newest trend. I say put your money to good use.
