Cars and eco friendly don't really tend to fall into the same category as each other- unless you're talking about electric cars that is. Even so, style normally seems to be lacking from these economical numbers (for example) but the latest model from Smart has managed to tick all the right boxes. Not only does its lush green and white leather interior look eminently desirable, they've also given it some features that would make the most hardened eco warrior feel all warm and cuddly inside. They've taken the popular smart fortwo design, added Moonblock V11 alloys, and given the cabriolet a lovely white top. The car can manage around 70 miles on a single charge at a top speed of 60mph. True, it's no Maserati, but then it's not harming the environment one little bit, as there are ZERO carbon dioxide emission and they've even included a feature for petrol-heads. I'm talking about the Brabus sound generator,m which mimics the noise a race car engine makes when it revs up, which may help you feel like you're driving something a lot more powerful (or feel like a total tit). The car will go into small scale production by the end of the year and start from £8,272.. For more info check out Smart here.

Understandably, news of a solar powered touchscreen phone from Samsung was met with high levels of scepticism. But it's not April Fools Day - it's not even close, so why was my initial reaction that someone is yanking our chain? I'll tell you why. It's because, let's face it, an energy efficient, solar powered touchscreen phone sounds just a little bit far fetched, don't you think?

I hate getting cold. When winter comes, away go my dainty summer dresses and out comes the thermal underwear, topped with an electric blanket and a pair of Uggs for good measure. Despite having the heating on at full blast I still tend to be chilly, (and poor:big electric bills) but here's a great way to save cash and style in one.

There's nothing like a hot cup of tea to help you get through your day (or in my case hot Ribena). Now, the Tefal Quick Cup caused quite a stir when it made its debut into the mainstream. 'Is it actually a kettle?' was probably the most frequently asked question - which is fair enough considering it doesn't actually boil. You had those who took an abhorrent liking to it and those for which the Quick Cup revolutionised their tea drinking lives.

A manual juicer... Really? Well, I suppose we are still in the month of improbable diets and detox resolutions. So if the thought of manually reducing your fruit and veg to a yummy pulp while simultaneously keeping control of those bingo wings, has more appeal than shoving your fruit (with the skins on) into a machine and letting technology run its course (and you're a bit on the eco-friendly side) the hand cranking Easy Health Juicer is your juice extractor. Just attach to any smooth surface, sentence your fruit to a crushing death and crank away.
