			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em> I&#8217;m excited to share our first <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/" target="_blank"><em>Unplggd</em></a> post. On Tuesdays and Thursdays Lifework will be swapping stories with the team over at <em><a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/" target="_blank">Apartment Therapy</a>&#8216;</em>s Unplggd. They cover technology in a smart accessible way that I think you will really appreciate. </em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1812" title="cork1_rect540" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/cork1_rect540.jpg" alt="cork1_rect540" width="480" height="268" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Watch yourselves, green addicts, this one might make your heart stop. While we recently fell in love with <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/greener-gadgets-competition-showcases-ecogizmos-108034" target="_blank">Corky</a>, the scrolling, clicking, and movement-powered mouse made from cork, there&#8217;s plenty more out there in the sea of cork gizmos and credenza mashups. Who said you couldn&#8217;t be cool going green?</p>
<p><strong>1</strong>) <a href="http://cea.mblast.com/ws/wfaward/rsp/votenomination.asp?SessionID=3849282" target="_blank">Corky </a>is a mouse powered by your movements rather than batteries. Unfortunately, looks like Corky is just a concept, but we can only hope that after the Greener Gadgets conference this wireless mouse, made from recycled cork and plastic, makes it to a store near you.<br />
<strong>2</strong>) For those of you looking for an eco-conscious gadget and like their tech accessories to be made of sustainable materials, the <a href="http://www.javoedge.com/reflexeshop/productCatalog/getProduct.do?poid=2242&amp;pbmId=15865" target="_blank">JAVOedge’s 3G Cork iPhone Case</a> seems to fit quite nicely.<br />
<strong>3</strong>) Grab a fancy <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/green-ideas/green-ideas-a-cork-covered-power-strip-to-save-electricity-067790" target="_blank">surge protector covered in cork</a> seen at the Dutch design fair in Eindhoven.<br />
<strong>4</strong>) Repurpose a <a href="http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/shelving-storage/greenmod-cork-credenza--034615" target="_blank">media credenza</a> and have it double as a place to put down movie lists, other productive things you should be doing &#8211; that sorta stuff.<br />
<strong>5</strong>) Turn your cork into a USB drive. Or er&#8230; <a href="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20100106/greenhouse-cork-usb-drive/" target="_blank">buy it for $51</a>.<br />
<strong>6</strong>) Use it as a laptop case (we probably suggest keeping hot laptops out of this one). Available for <a href="http://www.nigelsecostore.com/acatalog/Laptop_Case.html?adnetwork=wg" target="_blank">Macbook Pros 13-15-inches</a>.<br />
<strong>7</strong>) Or turn it into a laptop stand! Genius idea from the team at <a href="http://www.nigelsecostore.com/acatalog/Laptop_Case.html?adnetwork=wg" target="_blank">eGenius</a>.&#8221;</p>
