It's been another year of conserving, inventing, unplugging and well, NothingTM at Green Thing, so as we enter the time of year when buying, buying, buying starts feeling more like a duty than ever, let's take five and reflect on some of the top Green Things of the year. Maybe those relatives might want a new (ish) pair of gloves or a barely used Saved T-Shirt? There, we've fixed a couple of your commerical headaches already. |

| STRANGE MEETING |
 |
 |
Flying halfway round the world to attend a meeting doesn't sound like a good use of anyone's time and energy, not to mention the horrific carbon cost. And in the age of video-conferencing, there isn't even any need. Starring Fay Ripley.

| GLOVE LOVE |
|
 |
Over 1,000 pairs sold to date, that's more than 10,000 fingers kept warm, not to mention the thousands that have dodged their landfill fate and thousands more now that don't need to be made.
ALL YOU NEED IS GLOVE |
|
| FUTURE TENTS |
|
 |
The problem: a massive amount of tent waste left in fields at the end of a festival. People turn up, buy a cheap tent, and leave it there. The solution: a tent that lasts three days then biodegrades, sowing the land with local seeds as it does so. A design masterpiece from Vanessa Harden.

| WORLD TAP WATER WEEK |
|
 |
A Green Thing invention: a week in August to celebrate all there is to love about tap water. And there's much to celebrate - it's just like bottled water, but a thousand times cheaper, and tastes just as good.

| THE NEXT BIG THING |
|
 |
Have a T-Shirt that you never wear, that's fallen out of favour and sits at the bottom of a draw unloved and unused? Of course you do. Time for the T-Shirt to find salvation - and a new home.
EVERY TSHIRT WANTS TO BE SAVED |

| NEW IMPROVED NOTHING |
|
 |
NothingTM took the world by storm, but 12 months on and it's old hat. So Green Thing brought on conceptual Krakatowa Naughton O. Nada to bring it up to scratch. The result? New Improved NothingTM, of course.
