Our Chop Flops auction ends tomorrow – bid now!
There’s nothing better than slipping your tired toes into a comfy pair of flip-flops, and this savvy creation by designer Joseph Palmer takes this favored footwear into the realm of sustainable design. By repurposing used chopsticks [5] collected from the dumpster of a local Japanese restaurant, cork cut from an old pin board, scrap leather backpack straps, and just a little bit of dental floss, Joseph fashioned a pair of kick-butt Chop-Flops [6]. An amazing finalist in our Spring Greening 2010 competition [7], we’re now offering these Chop-Flops to you Inhabireaders in an exclusive eBay auction [8] that ENDS TOMORROW! With bidding starting at $235, you could be the proud owner of this one-off piece of wearable eco-art – cast your bid today!
