Designer James Dunlop is a clever sod. Why? Well, he's hoping that his (genius) Myhab disposable habitats will help curb the huge number of tents left behind at festivals. First peak at these Myhab things may well leave you thinking that it's some kind of glorified cardboard box, but check this out...

Your very own Myhab with room for two will be erected as well as dismantled for you, and contains a cushioned pad to sleep on, a locker secured by a PIN, lighting and the option to personalize your Myhab with your name. The Myhab hasn't hit the campgrounds yet, but the company hopes for 2008 to be its big release year. A stunning and terrific idea...

Myhab Limited is based in London, and was formed when its founders saw a business opportunity in the increasing number of ditched tents after festivals. In 2005, organizers reported 10,000 abandoned tents, jumping by half to 15,000 in 2007.

While booking a Myhab through the company individually looks like it will be an option, it seems that the most sensible thing to do would be festival organisers sponsoring the service to help eradicate the sheer volume of waste created by campers in the shape of plastic poles, pegs and mucky groundsheets. A brilliant idea and hopefully, one that will take off. Click here to find out more.
