SuperEco! - a list by Andrea

About this list:
It's so easy being green, there's no excuse to put it off, even if you don't have a lot of "green" to spend (WINK!). Too poor? These lightbulbs save you money, not to mention these cheap and hot clothes. Too stylish? I'm no hippy - you'll see nary a Birkenstock or dreadlock on my list. Too busy? Too lazy? Too bad for you - I've sorted these items into a conveniently tagged, easily consumed, all-purpose, lazy-friendly recyclable package. Surrender, then read on for the great green hope.

Description
Stylish little cubes you toss in the dishwasher and forget about - with the added eco-bonus of being phosphate and bleach free.

Grid Wall Pocket

Description
For fabulous, functional fabric wall decor, I love the organic / urban look of recycled felt in this hanging magazine rack - and I love the humility of including instructions on how to send it back to the manufacturer for recycling. ($66 at Branch)

Alentejo Bowls: CORK
2 people recommended this item
Description
HOT HOT HOT. These sculpted cork bowls are a beautiful example of what I like to call Organic Minimal, exemplified by all the wooden housewares I'm drooling over these days - sleek, simple, and seriously pretty. Bonus: they're made from reclaimed waste cork and non-toxic epoxy adhesive - and the big one can be used as a bike helmet (in a pinch). ($118 at Branch)

Salt and Pepper Orbs by Andi Kovel
2 people recommended this item
Description
My usual complaint about fancy salt and pepper shakers is that they usually take up more room than they really need to. When I saw these - WOW. Beautiful, tactile, tiny glass orbs - made of recycled glass in a wind-powered electric furnace. Spicy. ($159 at Branch - if you've got it, flaunt it)

Biodegradable Plates & Cutlery
6 people recommended this item
Description
These don't look like anything special, but looks can be deceptive (I know, right? You never say it that way, but it's better). They're made of bagasse, a sugar cane fiber. So they're biodegradable, compostable, disposable - and affordable. (price varies - $7 for pack of 50 cups, at Branch)

Millennium Towel
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
You know how you feel when people ask about the provenance of your stuff? Like, maybe the hemp is cruelty-free, but what about the the dyes, or the human cost, or harvesting of material and blah blah blah and you start to feel tired and sort of annoyed at the person asking, like what are you supposed to do, build the sneakers yourself? That's where Swiss towel company Bonjour comes in. Trust me. They're cruelty-free.
But if you're the person asking, they're microfiber from beech wood, which is farmed in Scandinavia under strictly controlled forestry conditions, made in Switzerland, colored with nontoxic colorfast dyes, and the only human cost is the $132 you'll shell out for a set of 4 at Branch. So leave me alone.
