Looking to add something to your bathroom but you just don’t know what? Here’s a tip: how about a plunger? We’re not just talking any plunger though, we’re talking ‘bout the Toilet Tree (ha ha, get it). It’s an unclogging device “cover” that’s actually disguised as a plant and made from recycled green plastic. And coming soon – a product to “cover” your toilet brush. One more thing we just have to mention – because these folks are concerned with our environment going down the toilet, the National Arbor Day Foundation will plant a tree in honor of your purchase. $29.95 ::Toilet Trees [by KD]

It may be recycled plastic (I wonder if it's actually post-consumer), but man, fake trees are an abomination in my book. They make me feel like I'm suffocating. Make it real, or make it something else! (just my two cent rant)
Goodness me - a plastic pot plant with a plunger - not only an alliterative abomination, but a sin against interior decoration worldwide. Try www.plungees.com for better options in the USA - not great, but slightly less fake plant based.
This is really an abomination. A regular toilet plunger with a natural rubber head would be much more eco-friendly.
While looking for better toilet plungers, though, I found a neat link with a list of little things you can do (from New Zealand!):
