Saw these groovy belts made from recycled fire hoses on Treehugger. Very cool!



They clean off all of the soot and grime and then fashion the old hoses into belts. They have yellow and red ones.

You can pick one up from naturalcollection.com- they range from about £25 to £55, depending on the width and the buckle type. Also, they'll give 50% of the proceeds from your belt purchase to the London Fire Brigade Benevolent Fund.
