Blood pressure drops just looking at Sydney Lounge Chair. And it's eco. And it's grey, glorious grey.

Love the portability of this container. Also, it's better to grow above ground if you don't know what's lurking in your soil (well, that's how it goes for L.A./city gardeners, anyway).

Good for cold climate gardeners who need to bring plants inside on frosty nights, too. (via Daily Candy)

I don't have a bathtub. But if I did you can bet your bippy I'd drink and read in it. And, using this eco-bath caddy, all the while I'd be saving the earth. Splish! Splash! (via Delight Store)

Green Earth Car Wash

Updated Oct 19, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I'm all over this for the Mini! It's organic and biodegradable and you don't need water when you wash your car. My little bro says waterless car washes are where it's at for car enthusiasts. I had never heard of such a thing... but I'll give it a try because I'm sort of over killing an hour waiting for my car to get detailed at the car spa. That's right, L.A. has car spas. And, you know what, if anyone is going to a spa, it's me, damn it, not my car. (via Daily Candy)

Specialized Globe City commuter bike

Updated Sep 19, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Specialized's Globe City bike is like a love letter commuters can deliver to the environment everyday with just a little pedaling. Specialized made the bike with features like a covered chain to help jobby people not get filthy on the way to the office. And it's such a fab ride that, get this, their head honcho will ride the darn thing all the way from their HQ in the Bay Area to the bike industry trade show in Las Vegas to prove the point that it's a radical Mama Earth-loving transpo option. Again, Bay Area to Las Vegas! Now that's some kind of passionate S.W.A.K.

Synlawn - The Synthetic Alternative To Natural Grass.

Updated Aug 31, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Plastic grass. My landscape architect pal swears by this stuff: no watering, wears well, animals love it (and stay cleaner). "Premium" is what you should get for your house... the other stuff's for playgrounds and office parks. We're seriously considering... Stop laughing. Plastic grass is way cooler than watering a lawn during a the perpetual drought that besieges L.A. And, hey, if we ever get a true rainy season, no mud. How jealous are you going to be then?

It kind of blows my mind (no pun intended... fine, pun intended) that individual households can have their own wind power. (via kayzee)

Envirosax Graphic Series Bags and Pouches

Updated Jul 13, 2007

Description

I feel guilty using these and claiming that the reason relates to my saving the planet. Really, these waterproof, reusable, tough grocery bags keep coming with me to the grocery store is that I can't resist accessorizing my hunting and gathering. I suppose it doesn't hurt to not toss all those nasty plastic bags.

Little Radio Environmental Vehicles

Updated Jun 21, 2007

Description

It's a pocket-sized electric vehicle. Few things on three wheels are cuter - like bunnies and duckies napping on a tricycle, those are cuter - but when you throw in how these little guys need no gas and fit into pretty much every parking space, they come out on top again.

EcoForms Biodegradable Pots

Updated Dec 8, 2006

Description

I love this concept: gorgeous pots made from corn husks (or something similarly sustainable) that, after you plant them, biodegrade in your garden.

Gardening is about leaving bits of earth better than you found them. These match that ethos.
