sustainable nyc has some new swanky digs. they’ve moved up the block to where alt.cafe used to reside and given the place a much needed cleaning.
this larger new space definitely gives them room to grow & showcase their wonderful eco-friendly products. they’re even working on a DIY crafts area for local eco-artists to [...]
recycled newspaper trees ala martha
Leave a Comment
martha is getting greener & greener. which is great, because where martha goes–the public follows. it’s sorta like getting on oprah’s book list–it’s gonna blow-up y’all & fierce.
so, when ms. stewart presents crafts that are inclusive (recycled newspapers) vs. exclusive (caviar style high-end materials) it’s worth getting excited about. i really love [...]
found object d’art

stuart haygarth’s found trash chandeliers are wonderfully brilliant to look at. taking washed up manmade debris from the kent coastline, his take reminds me of the surfrider foundation billboard ad campaign, except on a new & artistic level. while the saatchi & saatchi ads are massive heaps of trash meant to appaul, [...]

kiva: loans that change lives

weddings symbolize new beginnings. moving forward together in a new life.
but if you & your honey are like most new yorkers, you’ve probably been living together (in tight quarters) already and have acquired most of what you need to survive–jack lalanne’s power juicer, pasta maker, bodum french press, organic flannel sheets. why [...]
converse goes green
Leave a Comment
well, not really.
ever since chuck moved his factory to china, i just haven’t been able to get behind my old back-in-the-day punk fave–the converse chuck taylor. every year at spring cleaning time, i struggle to toss or not to toss out the last remaining pair that i have–blue, low-top, made in the USA [...]
