Sustainable Living - Eco Furniture, The Gadget Guru - Radio-Control Tesla
Tonight, our very own "Queen of Green" Carrie Aikman introduces ways to 'go eco' with furniture. She covers buying second-hand and vintage; local sustainable furniture makers; and even how to get hands-on in a refinishing project. Resources: ecochair.ch, tutti.ch, ricardo.ch, anibis.ch, Basel Buy and Sell, Facebook Marketplace, Kyburz Made, Seniorenhilfe Schweiz, Bouki and DIY Network. Listen to the full segment here.
The Tesla Cybertruck is now available as a toy - it comes in two sizes: small budget (~USD 20) and fat wallet (~USD 400). The Gadget Guru Ian Ellery was on the program to tell us about it. Both models are radio-controlled and feature faithful reproductions of the futuristic design previewed by the Tesla Company. To get one, you'll need to pre-order them at Mattel's Website and they are meant to be delivered in time for Christmas 2020. If you are a Tesla fanboy or fangal, this is your chance to jump in and grab a miniature for a fraction of the cost of the real thing! Listen to the segment here.
