Maine Float Rope Down East Doormat

Float-rope is used by lobstermen to tether multiple traps together on the ocean floor. The problem with float-rope is that it can entangle whales, which sometimes leads to their injury or death. The Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation purchases turned-in float-rope from Maine lobstermen. Then the Maine Float Rope Company collects and recycles the rope and turns it into terrific, colorful and virtually indestructible doormats. It’s a win-win – a safer habitat for whales, some financial relief for the lobstermen, and a cleaner environment.!

Voltaic Backpacks

Voltaic solar backpacks are mobile solar power generators designed to charge virtually all handheld electronics. Embedded in the outside of the bags are lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels. A custom battery pack stores any surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it - not just when the sun is up. The battery packs can also be charged using the included AC travel charger or car charger, making them just as useful on the grid as off. Voltaic bags use fabrics made from recycled soda bottles. Recycled PET fabric is light weight, extremely durable, UV and water resistant, and even looks better than the nylon it replaced. Most importantly, it uses significantly less energy to produce and creates demand for recycled materials.
