ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENT No, the plastic and foam that protect your noodle aren’t recycled. (Smith is working on it.) However, the Hustle is lined with Cocona, a natural fiber made from coconut husks that regulates temperature and wicks moisture better than a standard synthetic liner. Thirty percent of the packaging is made with post-consumer products. $120;

Thanks to the 36-volt battery, this emissions-free clipper allows up to 60 minutes of uninhibited cutting, runs quiet as a hummingbird, and comes with a mulching plug, bagger, and side discharge chute. $499;
