(Newser) – Companies are zeroing in on the emerging eco-market with painfully cool items like a battery-powered scooter from Vectrix, wind-powered tiki torches from Demakersvan, and speakers made from recycled whiskey barrels by Pioneer Electronics. Popular Science's photo montage of the latest in green technology shows that hip and hippie need no longer be at odds.

Also making the list were a dishwasher with multiple drawers for minimal water-waste from Fisher & Paykel, a Nokia phone that automatically reminds you unplug your energy-sucking charger and a wood-burning hot tub from duchtub. For the full list, use the link below.
