| 2011 World Refugee Day: Angelina Jolie Records New PSA Posted: 15 Jun 2011 06:03 PM PDT Her movies may be awful (I’m looking at you “The Tourist” and “SALT”), but Angelina Jolie is a force for good in this world – and on top of some recent huge donations ($ 500K for tornado victims, $ 10M to charity), we’ve got this new PSA for World Refugee Day on June 20th. The actress, who is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations’s High Commission on Refugees, has punched out spots before, but the importance of the issue bears constant repeating. As you would expect, she’s not one to simply address the crisis from behind a camera. It was announced today that Turkish officials have granted Jolie permission to visit refugees who have fled from Syria to escape violent uprisings. The 36-year-old will reportedly land in the country and Friday and visit refugee camps in Southern Turkey. Check out her new PSA after the jump below. ecorazzi.com :: the latest in green gossip » video Edit your submission

| Award-Winning Industrial Designer Creates Elegant Functional Erotic Art Posted: 15 Jun 2011 06:02 PM PDT Award-winning designer, Ofer Zick, didn't intend to be a Green advocate when he founded ‘ThinkingofYou – Erotic Icons’, but his grown-up T.O.Y. provides sustainable pleasure nonetheless (see the box below to learn more about what makes adult toys green). As an industrial designer, his specialty is medical devices, but his passions have always run a bit more personal. For as long as he can recall, Ofer Zick – former-director and current senior lecturer at Israeli's Holon Institute of Technology department of Industrial Design – has had an interest in the elegance of the human form. "I was drawing pictures of women when I was a young boy," he told me in an exclusive interview. Brought up by a single mother (his father died early in his life), this married father of two learned early on to appreciate womankind, something that ultimately served him well when he founded Toy-Thinking Of You (T.O.Y.). His Israeli company markets a possible first of its kind: a high-end, reasonably priced aesthetically captivating AND functional erotic art. Over the course of a several chats, he shared his passion for sustainable design, and why he wants to revolutionize an industry that's known more for being seedy, rather than sensual. Turns out, Zick's vision offers more aesthetic pleasure with less carbon footprint. The only question he can't yet answer is: When will the world ready for T.O.Y.?
Ofer Zick: I've been designing products for 20 years. My education is as a designer, and I teach as well. I was a bit fed up of giving my talents up to others. I decided about 5 years ago to design products for myself. That was the beginning. When I was thinking area or field of designing a product, the idea of sex toys came up, though I had my concerns at first. Then I started to do as I always do for all products I design. I did research, first to know the market, and second because I had doubts about the people in this business. Sex toys are related to porn and don't have a good image. I went to Berlin to see a big show just to travel around and see people in this industry. I must say that the first 10 min in that huge hall was shocking! After those first few minutes, I focused. I checked out what kind of products was on the market, and then I found the gap: high quality products at a reasonable price. Most were very low quality products, or the high ones were extremely expensive. That's when I knew this is the place for me, an industrial designer. I design for people. Like I teach my students, we have to give them the best products that they can afford. That's my philosophy in general.
GP: Tell me about the recent design show in Italy. What were people's reactions? OZ: My design was recently seen at the Promise Design Show in Milan, which is the hugest design convention in Europe. There was a booth from Israeli design, and the curator asked me to send him a few projects from the past few years. I sent him a product from T.O.Y, and was amazed he chose this for the exhibition. The surprise was that he was open-minded enough to put a sex toy in a design exhibition. He put it in the right place – the idea of the product is the design. It's the first time that a sex toy was presented in a design show. The audience is design addicts, not people looking for sex. Next, the exhibition is traveling to Paris and Lisbon. What I heard from friends was that it was a big attraction. People loved it! From this show alone, we saw a 15% increase in orders alone.
OZ: Everything I do I take into consideration of environmental issues. When you are making a product, you have to ask yourself, what will happen at the end of its life? Design for disassemble is a big issue for design today. For example, one of the last products I made was a new colonoscope. The inserter was supposed to be from silicon and plastic. This was supposed to be disposable, one examination for one patient. I knew that meant a lot of silicon in the garbage! I made the handle not disposable, and I reduced the silicon disposal from 90% to 20%. Let's talk about T.O.Y. A big problem with vibrators is the battery issue. Green products should save on batteries and money. One lifecycle of my product will save someone about 3000 batteries! That's a lot of waste and chemicals that are saved from going into the garbage. In addition, the materials we use are medical grade. It's also designed for disassemble. The silicon isn't over-molded when you take it off. Of course, there's more we can do to make things more sustainable. We are working to get there. Of course, the charging base also serves as an ambient nightlight. Duel purpose fun! GP: Your design is both functional and artistic. Is the world ready for your creation? OZ: It's a tricky question. What I did which is different from other adult products is that I took it outside the drawer. I took a product that people hide and put it out. That is why the reason the cradle was made to also be an atmosphere light. You don't realize it immediately as a sex toy. People accept sex more easily when it is wrapped with an artistic cover. A picture of a naked is woman okay, but they have a harder time putting out a sex toy. I believe that sexuality should be spoken about and be presented. I have a teenager girl at home. In my opinion, sexuality is related to maturity. We can't push it forward, and we need to teach them what is age appropriate. We can't fight lady gaga and fashion world and film industry. We are already on that hill, so we have to educate that sexuality is okay. As a society today, our kids are more neglected and growing themselves, in part because of the way we work and behave and the tempo of our lives. We have to be there for them a little more including teaching them about sex in a healthy way. T.O.Y.-Thinkingofyou.com currently manufactures and markets three products in their Calla Lily Collection. All are waterproof and C.E. certified, and available to consumers in Israel, the Middle East and internationally.

| Lunar Eclipse Tonight: How to Watch It Posted: 15 Jun 2011 02:04 PM PDT Google’s homepage may have cued you into this, but in case you are out of the loop…Calling all people of earth! A lunar eclipse is upon us, aka the earth’s shadow completely blocking the sun. The moment of lunar eclipse will begin at 1:24 p.m. EDT and end around 7 p.m. EDT, peaking at 4:12 p.m. EDT. This eclipse is said to last an hour and 40 minutes, which makes it a long one since the last time one made it to that time was in July 2000, when it occurred for 7 minutes longer. But the good news is, for those of us in North America, that the entire eclipse will be available to view online! The Sky Watchers Association Of North Bengal is inviting everyone to view a live feed of the event on their page, which you can check out here. Keep in mind that for the U.S., the next chance to see a total lunar eclipse won’t roll around until April 15, 2014! ecorazzi.com :: the latest in green gossip » video Edit your submission

Surely I don't call you to fill the bathtub with milk, as there are some other cheaper recipes where milk is used as an amazing beauty aid. Milk BathingDon't have 200 liters of milk to fill your bathtub as Cleopatra used to do? Don't give up! Mix a glass of dried milk with 3 spoons of honey and pour out the derived mixture to your bathtub. It will soften, and nourish your skin.

| Israel’s “Green Queen” Royally Stamps Her Approval on Eco Design Products Posted: 15 Jun 2011 02:02 PM PDT
Green Prophet has encountered several green royals over the past few years, between Jordan’s Queen Rania helping organic farmers and lobbying for environmental education, and H.E. Sheikh Abdulaziz Al Nuaimi (aka The Green Sheikh) penning a monthly column for this very site. But there’s a new eco-royal on the Middle Eastern scene in the form of the “Green Queen” – a new eco design studio in northern Israel started by Revital and Ruth, two former stage designers. According to these ladies, every object in their studio (including the upcycled cloth necklace above) “has a story, and each item was examined by the Queen personally. Only when we realize that the object meets our ecological and aesthetic standards does the queen grant her royal eco signal.”
So far the Green Queen (who just launched online a few weeks ago) has stamped her approval on upcycled cloth necklaces, repurposed cloth lamp shades, handmade pillows, and chic multi-use (and dishwasher friendly) bamboo dishes. Coming soon to her line of green design products will be recycled paper craft kits for kids, scented mobiles for kid’s rooms, and other products that are, as the Queen puts it, “all shades of green.” : Green Queen (site in Hebrew) Read more about green royals in the Middle East::
