Post Shredded Wheat Sustainability
If I didn’t have a gluten-intolerance, I would be eating nothing but Shredded Wheat.
Oil Tanker Saves Solar + Wind Powered Ship
“Thankfully, Irony Is Not Dead” reads the title of this Vancouver Sun article about two environmentalist explorers and their wrecked carbon-neutral ship, most gratefully rescued by none other than a giant oil tanker. This just makes us look bad. But I’m really glad no one died.
Enviro Ebay
Ebay members can now join they’re Green Team, a resource for greening your everyday life and a contest to win cool, eco stuff. Sustainable shoppers unite!
Think Global, Craft Local
SuperNaturale as a name totally belies the true nature of the website. But regardless, I’m about to be addicted. This site was made for me.
Uniforms Anyone?
I am absolutely LOVING The Uniform Project, one woman’s “[pledge] to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion.” Reminds me of the time Lucie Shuker committed to wear the same shirt every day for several weeks as part of the More Than Clothes campaign. Back then anti-materialism led the charge in favor of regimented garb, whereas The Uniform Project is all about living eco. It is fascinating how one practice can have innumerable inspirations.
Designers Accord
We now have a Kyoto protocol for designers. Delight. I totally want in.
High Line Happiness
New York City has finally finished revamping its old elevated freight rail into the beautiful High Line park. I can’t wait to visit!
Seventh Generation Gift Shop Breaks the Bank
Scathing comments on Seventh Generation’s blog are enough to turn me away from the new Gift Shop. I love me some Seventh Generation products––liquid dish soap, dishwashing detergent, feminine products, baby wipes… But I suppose I’ll continue to buy them on Vitacost.
Do, however, frequent their site to discover the importance of sustainable living. Their Learn section is an invaluable resource.
So, Where Do I Plug In My Car?
Earth Talk answers the ultimate question about electric vehicles. Very exciting stuff.
But this quandary still lingers: how does the pollution of generating electricity compare with that of gasoline? Zero emissions vehicles are awesome, but they still generate pollution when you plug them in (think coal power plants). Is it still better than the old system?
Prefab, Eco Dollhouse
For the tiny modernist in your home, this dollhouse won’t disappoint.
