Earth Day came and went this year. I planted no trees, didn't choose to walk or bike, and didn't switch out any light bulbs. I probably drank bottled water, in my car, while wearing my baby dolphin shoes made in a Malaysian sweatshop. (Ok, relax. I don't support sweatshop goods.)
Anyhow, it got me thinking about Western Heritage Furniture as a green product, and other companies that are committed to eco-friendly products. I thought I would share some of my favorites....
TOMS - These kicks are an affordable fashion statement for hipsters and humanitarians alike. For every pair of shoes you buy, the company provides a pair of shoes to a child need. As of September 2010, the company has donated over 1 million pairs of shoes. toms.com
Solio Classic Solar Charger - It has happened to all of us, and probably more times than you ever care to recall. Trapped in the hot, sunny desert with only half a bar left on your phone. (I live in AZ, and this is truly how it goes down.) Your charging worries are over with this awesomely versatile, hybrid solar charger. It is compatible with over 3200 devices, stores energy for up to a year, and can be plugged in on a cloudy day. solio.com
Ice Stone - This company has been a long standing favorite of mine. Mostly because the idea of having a counter top made of blue vodka bottles is just plain fun. Besides blue, they offer all colors of the rainbow and use 100% recycled glass to make their products. Ice Stone is a wonderful alternative to slabs of stone quarried from faraway countries, this is a must see for anyone considering a kitchen or bath remodel. icestone.biz
Larson Rugs - I know that it is considered a sin, but I covet these rugs. Frankly, it is hard to talk about how they are made in California, made of New Zealand wool, minimal carbon footprint, commitment to the environment, blah, blah, blah. I want to sink my toes into that shaggy wonderfulness. (I am not paid by the Larson Rug company for endorsements, but will accept any swag they wanna send my way :) larsonrugs.com
Western Heritage Furniture - <insert shameless plug here> Ok, seriously. If you are reading this blog, you have some idea of who we are. The intention behind our company was never to make a "green" product, more to make insanely awesome furniture. Somehow, we lucked out and managed to do both.
