We’re a cloth napkin kinda house and having cute numbered ones like these would be perfect to help jog our memory as to which napkin belongs to whom. Love em.

On the surface it might seem like running has little or no negative impact, hey it doesn’t even need a car. But Runner’s World magazine found it wasn’t necessarily so, “because running shoes aren’t so green, not today at least. Production is energy- and toxin-intensive…” They took a tour of some production facilities in China and visited many of the key American brands to get the inside scoop. Then they devoted their November 2008 issue to the topic. Some of what they found caused journalist Florence Williams to remark:

“I feel like I never want to buy anything ever again”.

We pick out a few highlights of her investigation belo…

Sure, online calendars have their advantages, but give me a pencil and a cute paper planner and I’m a much happier gal. These days, I’m digging the chic patterns of Sarah Pinto’s recycled paper and soy-based ink planners. Cute, no?

Okay. I’m on the fence about this, so I’m opening it up to you all. Are these rechargeable foot warmers a clever way to keep yourself toasty without turning up the thermostat, and therefore keeping your carbon footprint small (har. har.)? Or, are they just another piece of junk in the long list of “Things We Don’t Need”?

Truly, I can’t d…

Just in time for the Holiday Season, several childrens clothing outfits offer cute new choices. One label is offering prizes to the winner of their design contest. Another has cute peace sayings on kids tops, while a third offers more upscale childrens clothing designs. A UK-based kids clothier even allows you to purchase carbon offsets and a cleaning company adds toy cleaning products to their line. The companies are US and UK based and now available online and in a few retail stores. While its easy to deny buying products for grownups, its hard to make a kid go through life without toys or any c…

I’m really into the idea of a neutral room with a big ol’ pop of orange. Maybe it’s because we’re almost in October (?!?) and I’m getting all pumpkin-brained. The Monroe Lounge Chair and Ottoman, available at Eco-Furniture.com, are made with sustainably harvested wood and they’re 30% off right now ($455 for the pair).
