Mod Green Pod Organic Cotton Fabric

First to recommend

Description

Lately, I've been entertaining the idea of making my own curtains, pillows, etc. AND reupholstering trashed furniture with eco-friendly fabric.

I was delighted to find these eco-friendly options. The designs are limited, but I have a feeling they will grow and will add more to their collection. (via Inhabitat)

AeroGrow Indoor Countertop Garden

First to recommend

Description

Okay... So I love the idea of growing herbs in my kitchen, but it's kinda silly. You get enough for one meal at a time. So... Somebody needs to help me with my naive mind... Are people using these to grow pot, you think?

Why are they so popular?

Honestly, I want one to grow herbs for cooking.... But I've always been told I do things differently than others. What does that mean when it comes to this product? hmmmm.

Organic Cotton Spring Blossom Sateen Bedding

First to recommend

Description

Still not the most inexpensive in the market, but I'm just happy organic no longer means ugly... Seriously... Or over-the-top design. This is subtle and beautiful... Makes for a calming environment.

Keetsa eco-friendly mattress

First to recommend

Description

A friend of mine just recommended this mattress. I was blown away I didn't know about the sooner, considering the 'kewl' green factor with its manufacturing process and use of materials. I can't say it is great. I haven't used it. But I can say that they're trying to be great. Conscientious use of materials at conscientious price points... That is exactly what is needed in order to change how we use and waste.

The next mattress product I buy, you can bet it will be from Keetsa. (Okay, unless it becomes a poor experience, which I doubt.)

CEIVA remote digital photo sharing display

First to recommend

Description

The fact that you can send photos remotely is quite amazing. My mum, for example, does not own a computer. I have difficulty sending her photos, since they're all digital and a pain to print, not to mention expensive.

Besides, what a great eco-friendly way to exchange photos without the cost and waste of paper!

Can I say I love the leopard skin option? Not for mum, but for me...

Patagonia Lightweight Travel Duffel

First to recommend

Description

I am a fan of wheeled duffel bags. It fits more than the other, stiff ones. (That didn't sound right, did it?)

This one is made of 47% recycled materials. I like. Oh, I also like yellow because it screams to me from baggage claim.

FLOR Shirt Stripe - Stripe A Pose

First to recommend

Description

I have long hallways, and I've been the idiot looking for the right length rugs (impossible so far). Duh! Flor rugs are perfect for hallways! Sometimes...

I also love the fact it contains 45% recycled materials.

Idea Paint

3 people recommended this item

Description

This product is impressive. The ability to turn any wall into a highly functional white board is already a great idea, but the fact it's one of the most eco-friendly solutions to white board options makes it an amazing concept. I can't wait to use this in my own home!

Delux 24" Bamboo Rake

First to recommend

Description

Lately, I've been trying to follow the footsteps of my mother and grandmothers. In Vietnam, we used bamboo rakes. There's something that feels so much better when using bamboo... Like the scratching sound when it hits concrete. The metal rakes make me cringe. The bamboo sound is almost soothing.
