Below is a general outline of our coverage from April. In terms of our new articles, two articles lit up on Facebook: this one about the TINY movie trailer and another about a solar-powered container house. Also, as always, we’re interested in learning about inventive green homes and new green products around the USA. If you have news for JetsonGreen.com, send us a tip.

A sleek modern design, the Caroma Flow gives you enough reason install it even before looking at gallons per minute. At 1.5 GPM, Flow is among the lowest flow showerheads on the market. (A limited few low-flow heads have been recorded at 1.25, 1, and even .55 GPM.)

This is yet another “Must-See” product and the People’s Choice winner at KBIS 2012. Called U-Socket, the AC wall outlet has two USB 3.0-compatible power ports and can be installed on a 16 cubic inch or larger single gang electrical box, according to Fastmac, the manufacturer. The listed product meets UL and NEC specifications and carries a 5-star energy-efficient design. The USA-made outlet has a smart sensor that recognizes when a device is charged and shuts down, cutting back on vampire energy.
Another “Must-See” product at the recent KBIS 2012 was the Triflow Bamboo faucet in the Bright Line by Zuvo Water. Zuvo Water makes smart, cloud-connected, water-filtration products, and Triflow is one of the new products showcased by the company. Triflow has LED lights and connects with a smartphone app that allows an owner to monitor water consumption, filter status, and access filtering reports about the local water supply.
One of the “Must-See” products of the recent Kitchen and Bath Industry Show was this wall-hung tank and carrier system from Geberit called the Monolith. Monolith installs in construction or a renovation (if you’re interested in moving the sewer to the wall) and saves bathroom space by tucking the tank and valves behind glass. The product comes with a couple water-efficient flush options and black or white glass, though I can’t seem to locate Monolith anywhere on the Geberit US website. Keep your eyes open for availability.
