A bicycle-powered television has been installed at an eco-friendly hotel in the New Forest, England.

The room also features low-energy lighting, solar panels and a wood-burning stove to produce hot water, and a low-flow toilet and shower to reduce water use.
The hotels publicity also boasts that environmentally-friends paints and low-impact building materials were used throughout, while the room's bed, bedside table, dressing table, wardrobe and mirror were crafted by a local tree surgeon from a single beech tree which fell in the village.
Christina Simons, the hotel's owner, has spent nearly eight years turning it into a green retreat, but explained how the 360-year-old property has recycling in its heritage.
"The building dates back to 1650, and was actually constructed from a reclaimed ship," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"I focused on three things when constructing the room: reducing waste, minimising pollution and using resources with the lowest impact possible.
