Student has Edge with eco friendly toys

IT seems the apple didn’t fall far from the tree in the case of one U2 member’s offspring, who is spreading her wings with a line of environmentally friendly toys.

Dubliner Arran Evans, aged 24, daughter of U2 guitarist The Edge, is blazing her own trail in the creative world.

Arran from Monkstown is about to launch her innovative toy range Mulch Men. Designed for boys aged between eight and 12, the clever toys can be buried in the garden and eventually disintegrate into garden compost.
