"Milkit With DIY Milk Carton Lamps"

"Milkit is a creative way to turn milk bottles into kickin’ table lamps. The kit is sold by Play Design and was developed by Alexandru Adam and Steven Koch. The nature inspired graphics come with the kit along with the hardware (cords, sockets, fittings, etc). It’s up to you to provide the milk bottles, of most any size, and the elbow grease to stylize the light fixtures...."

The idea isn't as crazy as it sounds, and the lamps look pretty good.

This may not save the planet, but it'll give some people lighting fixtures that are off the 50th percentile.
