The Look of a Book
Made from black faux leather and constructed using traditional bookbinding techniques, Dodocase exterior covers bring the look of a book back to the Kindle. An elastic strap keeps your Kindle sealed tight when you are on the go, and the ultra lightweight design makes it feel like a feather in your hand. The interior of the Dodocase is made of high quality bamboo, which is eco-friendly and light, but also extremely strong. Dodocase covers for Kindle are available from Wintec Solutions.

For a Green Clean
The new Electrolux AEG vacuum cleaner, the JetMaxx Green, makes cleaning up stylish and good for the environment too. The JetMaxx Green is made from 55% recycled plastic and its packaging from 100% recycled paper. 92% of the vacuum cleaner can be recycled, and it uses a disposable dust bag which is made from natural renewable materials. All this without compromising on performance. This model also delivers a 33% energy saving compared to a 2,000W vacuum cleaner, but boasts similar dust pick-up capabilities. The base of the JetMaxx Green was recently used as part of the international Vac from the Sea initiative, which aims to raise awareness of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans. Local artist and eco-warrior Simon Max Bannister used plastic gathered from the ocean to create the artwork. Visit http://www.aeg-electrolux.co.za/ for more information and a list of local stockists.
