Hello Scott!
It
has been a rainy and chilly June so far here in Cambridge, but we have
high hopes for summer. The first official day of summer is June
21, which is also..
Father's Day
Greenward
has plenty of gift ideas for the planet-friendly pops out there.
Maybe you have left the nest recently and dad is lacking an outlet for
his fathering instincts: make dad the proud adoptive parent of
thousands of worms with a Worm Factory Composter! Help him work off that beer gut by getting him to travel by bike--get him equipped with some of our great bike bags and accessories. Or, let him rock out to his golden oldies with a Vers iPod speaker.
Also, our clearance sale continues in-store and on-line.

Better Life Cleaners |
Better
Life was started by two childhood friends, both of them fathers, and
one of them a successful formulation chemist who specialized in natural
skin care products. "Baby-proofing" his home for his own kids
made him aware of the dangers posed by many conventional cleaning
products, and a company was born. Better Life cleaners are safe,
effective, and planet-friendly. Their products are biodegradable
and use only vegetable-derived surfactants, essential oils, and other
natural ingredients. Better Life uses no sulfates, ethoxylates,
fragrances, dyes, VOCs, parabens, solvents, or petroleum-based
ingredients.

To-Go
Ware has been steadily building an impressive menu of options for
waste-free lunch accessories. These new are items are some of
their best yet.
Action Pack Tiffin Sets
The tiffin set is a popular meal conveyance in India, where lunch (tiffin means "lunch")
is often delivered hot from the stove by an intricately coordinated
army of tiffin-wallas who carry the lunches from home to office.
You will probably be doing all the tiffin-walla-ing yourself, but
that's no reason not to try one of these clever lunchtime
innvovations. The Action Pack Tiffin Set from To-Go Ware includes
a two- or
three-tier stainless steel tiffin set, a 1/2-Cup stainless steel
"sidekick"
container, and a recycled cotton carrier bag. All the tiers lock
together securely with simple clamps. The carriers are woven from
cotton scraps collected from recycling sites throughout Ghaziabad,
India and dyed with natural dyes. The carrier has a pocket for storing
utensils.
Action Pack Tiffin Set: 2-tier, $35.99; 3-tier, $36.99.
Sidekick Stainless Steel Containers
A simple, durable container for snacks, baby food, peanut butter, dressing, etc. Large, $5.95; Small $4.95.
RePEaT Utensil Sets
Whaddya
know? These are just the right size to fit in that pocket in the tiffin
set carrier. Each set contains a sturdy bamboo fork, knife,
spoon, and pair of chopsticks, hand-finished with food-safe wood
oil. Everything packs neatly into the colorful carrier, which is
made of recycled PET plastic and includes a hander carabiner hook on
the back. $9.95.

Bamboo Studio
|
  
This new line of biodegradable dinnerware from Bamboo Studio is an
eco-friendly choice for any events you are planning for which reusable dinnerware is not
an option. The pieces have a unique, appealing look and texture that
would be appropriate for even formal events.
Bamboo
Studio Dinnerware is made from the bamboo sheath. The sheath is a
protective covering found on newly emerging bamboo plants. As the plant
matures, the sheath falls to the ground and most often is unutilized.
Bamboo Studio collects these sheaths and then they are cleaned, boiled,
laminated to the desired thickness, and pressed into shape. The result
is disposable/reusable dinnerware that is elegant, strong and 100%
biodegradable.
Bamboo Studio offers
several additional pieces, such as serving trays and other sizes of
plates and bowls, in addition to the items we have in stock. We can special order these for you, just contact us.
Flatware (8 each forks, knives, spoons): $4.99
7" Round Plates (set of 8): $8.49
7" Square Bowls (set of 8): $10.99
8" Square Plates (set of 8): $10.49
10" Square Plates (set of 8): $12.99
