If preening in the mirror is more than just a pastime for you then the Magic Mirror is your new best friend. Designed with a conscious, the mirror not only tells you who the fairest of all is but also reminds you to turn off the lights! Depending on the angle from which you are looking at the mirror, it switches from being just a mirror(front) to communicating the text: "Hey! You look good but...you look better if you switch off the light". Of course you can always change the text to something like "you are a goddess" (yes I can be a megalomanic).

It is great to see that more and more designers are jumping on the "Green" bandwagon and making genuine efforts to design for a sustainable future. A few years ago, no one would give a second thought on how much water we consume while washing our hands, but now all this is changing. Case in point, Eun Ji Byeon's Turn Faucet which aims for "Eco-precision." The faucet has a rotary dial with settings like 5, 10, and 15 seconds, so that you don't waste H20 in the name of cleanliness! A great way to dial down water wastage, don't you think?
