Has no one thought of making gardening boots out of recycled rubber? Surely there’s a market. (The more-entrepreneurial among you should really consider running with this idea.) These booties have been the eco-friendliest I’ve found so far—made in the USA, remarkably for Target—but we have plenty of scope for improvement. And while I’m decrying the dearth of green gardening tools, whither the tree-hugging gardening implements with handles made from sustainably harvested bamboo? An entire business could fit quite cozily in this niche. C’mon, people, hop to it!
(And please give me a buzz if you have any unwanted tools you wish to sell or give away—eBay, Craigslist, and Freecycle have so far FAILED me, and I hope they’re thinking long and hard about what they’ve done.)
