Jongoh Lee created these invisible streetlights designed as artificial leaves to blend into the surrounding branches during the day and gather solar energy. At night these leaf structures light up like fireflies. A nice green alternative to regular street lights.

Conor Klein has designed a plug that is based on the concept of the leech. Like the parasite that drops off its host when full, the plug drops off the power supply when the transformer is charged.

Is Coca-Cola going green?
Posted by – November 24, 2009
Unfortunately not. This is a conceptual packaging design by Ryan Yoon and Harc Lee where the Coca-Cola can is revisioned to have no colour. The impulse behind the design is to eliminate the energy expenditure and the use of toxic colours in the colouring process. The brand logo being pressed into the surface of the can is a clever and sophisticated green alternative. If only Coca-Cola cared about the environment.
