Check out these five unusual ways to feel green in the bathroom.

Green gadgets and gizmos continue to march into our bathrooms and into our business. Some are high-concept, while some are low-tech, like the “family cloth” that replaces toilet paper.

We don’t know if turning old T-shirts into TP is a good idea, but it is good for a laugh.

If you want a few more chuckles (and maybe a touch of inspiration), take a loo—k at these five funny, innovative, Earth-friendly products.

#1: Moss bath mat

Who doesn’t like the feel of cool moss under their feet? The Moss Carpet, a bath mat made of living, breathing, green goodness, is sure to make your toes wiggle with joy.

Since moss thrives on humidity, water, and shade, what better home for it than your bathroom? Made of a decay-free foam tray that holds three kinds and colors of moss—island, ball, and forest—this mat will definitely make a statement in your bathroom.

Pro: The edges are shaped like a wave so you can fit several mats together, kind of like a puzzle, to creep all over the floor.

Con: At $115 per mat, going large could get pricey.

Next: #2: SinkPositive
