Peter Ingledew is the inventor of the two great energy savers, the legendary Eco Kettle which stops you from wasting energy by boiling too much water, and the Showerdrop, which stops you from spending hours in the shower and wasting lots of hot water (and cutting down queues for the bathroom).

There are tons of reclaimed art artists that use the vision of what art is to them, to create visually stunning recycled items. It takes a truly artistic mind to look at what many people would consider to [...]
