DrinkingWater Is an Affordable Atmospheric Water Dispenser That Creates up to 5 Gallons of Water from Air

If you live in an area with an unstable or unsafe water supply, where clean water is not guaranteed for drinking and cooking, you might think that bottled water is your only option. However, another method has been proven to work: Atmospheric water generation (AWG), which creates potable water from the air. The systems that can do this are generally expensive, but DrinkingWater, which is now seeking backing on Indiegogo, is offering a solution that can put this technology to work in your home for as little as $329.

Leather Honey Leather Cleaner Review: Effective and Gentle Cleaner That Adds UV Protection

Per Leather Honey’s website, “Leather Honey was invented in the early 1960s when a retired chemist met with businessman Daniel McGowen, who had recently taken over his father-in-law’s Philadelphia-based manufacturing company.” The two created the original formula for the cleaner and the conditioner and found it very effective at preserving leather. An early test on the soles of postal carriers’ shoes showed that those treated with Leather lasted twice as long as those that were unprotected. Leather Honey makes cleaners and conditioners for leather products, including the Leather Honey Leather Cleaner we received for review.

Box Refresh Is a Great Way to Give 50 Shipping Boxes a Second Life

If you’re like me, you do a lot of shopping online, and you know what that means — tons of cardboard boxes that need to be broken down for recycling (best case) or trash pickup (worst case). I try to reuse as many boxes as possible, but some are so stickered up that I’ve nearly destroyed their integrity by ripping the top layer of cardboard down to the inner ribs while trying to remove some of the shipping labels. Box Refresh offers a practical, eco-friendly alternative to reusing your boxes without dealing with that.
