NEW GLASS BOTTLE

LOVE this design.  I have a glass bottle, but it's not the most aesthetically pleasing thing.  It's also difficult to clean.  via Apartment Therapy

SPOONFLOWER.COM

Oh my, am I excited about this!  Not only is this the only custom fabric printing site out there, but they have some awesome eco-friendly fabric options!  I'll post a follow-up with my designs soon!!  Pillow design by Leah Duncan.  Here's a link to the awesome octopus design, and sweet bunting design.

WINTER FASHION: VINTAGE CLOGGAGE

They don't make 'em like the used to! Vintage shoes are always awesome to me because they have a character and a coolness that is lacking in a lot of shoes nowadays. I love clogs because there's the authenticity factor, plus they give you height without feeling unstable ;)

From the top: cool 70s vintage italian clogs, vintage danish red high heel clogs, classic brown swedish clogs by bastard ;), and another pair of red clogs by gremlina

UPCYCLED LEATHER

This leather is truly guilt free -- these pieces are not only beautiful, but economical as well.  I couldn't believe how many amazing recycled leather bags are on etsy.  From the top: top 2 purses by Hoakon/Helga, red tote by patka's shop, red suede purse by thebritboutique, change purse by midnighttosix

THE QUEST FOR GREEN SHOES

Despite the wonderful, positive sea change happening with green fashion, I've only come across 1 company making well designed, affordable green shoes for mass market close to the Cradle to Cradle standards, and that's Zaha Hadid's Melissa Shoes. Melissas are infinitely recyclable, non-toxic, ethically manufactured, and look AWESOME. Though Keds is making an effort, using 20% recycled rubber in your shoe soles is just making a shoe"less bad", and not taking it far enough. Veja makes cool sneakers as well, but they still use leather, which I can't consider green. The quest continues...

CROCHET CORAL REEF

GRASS JEWELRY

These beautiful, sustainable pieces of jewelry remind me a lot of crop circle patterns -- often the grass is pressed in spiral patterns. Apparently the glossy grass used in the jewelry is grown in Brazil. by Nugaard.

EARTH DAY IS NEAR: WILLIAM MCDONOUGH FROM CRADLE TO CRADLE

This is one of a few human beings that I can call a hero. I read Cradle to Cradle a few years ago and it changed how I view everything.

SO SWEET AND SIMPLE

Such a sweet presentation for a sweet idea -- recycled glass with lace print. Here's a link to Fox and Clover's etsy shop.

IMPOSSIBLE SHAPES MAKE COOL JEWELRY

These pieces are not only mind-boggling, but they're also made from reclaimed vinyl records. By Aroha Silhouettes

ENVIRO-POTA TOTE

Go Brendan! This is one of the coolest eco-conscious illustrations i've ever seen. I love the idea of the Earth as this cute little sleeping dirt/root creature. I found this at Little Paper Planes.
