Often, those around us would recycle if it was easier (not everyone is motivated to be green like us!). In the office and even at home if the option to recycle were more available it would be exercised more frequently. Ecopod partnered with renowned designers and engineers from BMW Designworks to make a more accessible recycling apparatus that is easy and fun. The Ecopod serves as a visual stimulus to recycle, along with providing a one-stop place for cans, glass, paper, plastics in a compact container. Visually appealing and highly functional the Ecopod crushes and stores recyclables so you don’t have to take out a few bottles at a time. The Ecopod aims to increase participation in recycling; which can at times lack amongst the less driven!

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.

    324$ motivational? i think not. they need to take this down to the county level to help engage. Freebies a must. Certainties such as passing out recycling bins. Nifty design, but i don’t believe this will help others jump on the green bandwagon.

    Yes, a terrific idea for the nobility, but what about people on a budget?
