Assemble your own shoes
We found unu-life via Treehugger (a great blog about eco-friendly design).
unu-life makes these interesting leather shoes that you assemble yourself without the need for glue or any stitching.
They come to you in a mailing tube, and the shoes are made from a single sheet of recycled leather. You basically pop out the shapes, and slip the appropriate tabs into the right slots for the straps, then fold the panel that makes up the sole.
Et voila! you've got a pair of sandals with which any eco-hippie would be proud.
In addition to the sandals, unu-life also has their slats33 table that's made from waste plywood,
and leather goods made from leather off-cuts.

Very cool but how long do they last?
Aye, there's the rub. From the looks of it, I'd say, "not too long".
Unfortunately as with most eco-products, they're a bit pricey at £24.00 :(
It's hard out there for an eco-hippie!
