Though it's designed by Americans, there's something peculiarly British about the way the Toilet Tree tries to disguise what people really get up to in the toilet. As you've probably surmised already, it's a toilet plunger that hides inside a plant pot when not in use. You may - quite rightly - be wondering how a plunger wrapped up in a tacky plant is going to save the planet. Well, for each $30 plant 'n' plunger sold, the National Arbor Day Association will apparently plant a proper, big, tree. The pot's made from recycled plastic, too. You can buy one here. Or donate to an outfit like Future Forests here.
