Washing your clothes is an expensive, wasteful process regardless of how cheap the coin machines are or how energy efficient your machine is. YiREGO is a Toronto-based household design company focused on environmentally sustainable solutions, and they just provided the solution for smaller, more delicate loads. It’s called Drumi, and it’s a foot-powered washing machine made with up to 40% recycled material. Designed to hold up to 5lbs of clothing (that’s about six t-shirts, or one pair of jeans) per 5 minute cycle (2 for wash and rinse, 1 for spin), Drumi is powered entirely with that foot pedal to turn energy consumption to calories instead of dollars.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
