Got It Covered

Protect the planet while also protecting your iPhone. Agent 18 has a hard phone cover that is made from postconsumer plastic bottles. For $20, it’s a sleek fit. You’ll still need to take some care, however, because the slip does not have a screen protector. Blackberry users are out of luck; so far the eco-covers are just for iPhones.

[break] Wash without Water

Instead of wasting gallons of water and using harmful chemicals to clean your car, consider Lucky Earth’s toxics-free solution. Made with coconut extract and silicone, the water-based solution breaks down dirt; just spray it on the vehicle and wipe with a soft cloth. As long as the automobile isn’t caked with mud, cleaning requires only a little elbow grease and some rags (which, yes, you’ll have to dispose of eventually). Because a typical automated car wash uses up to 45 gallons of water and hand washing uses even more, the 32-ounce bottle—good for seven to 10 washes—saves considerable quantities of water ($16.99).

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

David M. Ewalt, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
