This Month's
Favorite
Viva Amore Grand Opening
We had the pleasure last week of meeting Anita Dunn
of Watertown's new eco-chic bridal boutique, Viva Amore. They
offer eco-friendly and once worn wedding gowns and other formal wear,
as well as services to plan an entirely green wedding.
Join them
for their Grand Opening event on July 25 from 10 am - 5 pm. There
will be giveaways worth thousands from eco-friendly wedding vendors, as
well as refreshments, food, cake tasting and music.

Hello Scott!
After
the recent end of the Great New England Monsoon of 2009, it seems that
summer has finally made it to Cambridge. We hope that everyone
takes the opportunity to enjoy it!
We know you love reading the
newsletter, but it only arrives once a month. Wouldn't it be
great to know what's new at Greenward when it happens? Then, when
your friend says to you, "did you see that awesome new eco-friendly
stuff in the Greenward newsletter?", you can smugly reply, "yeah, I
heard about all that stuff weeks
ago...You're right, though, it is awesome." Get the latest by
becoming a fan of Greenward on Facebook! The link is a bit
cumbersome at the moment:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cambridge-MA/Greenward/54582581854
If we get 1,000 fans, Facebook will give us a shorter link!
Here's some of those awesome new eco-friendly things that our Facebook Fans heard about already... |

EcoGen
|
 
Design
Ideas' new EcoGen line is stylish, affordable, useful, and totally
biodegradable! EcoGen products perform just as well as
conventional plastics - they are durable, dishwasher safe, and can
withstand temperatures up to 230 degrees Fahrenheight - with two
important differences: they are made using corn starch instead of
petroleum and they will biodegrade in compost or soil in six to nine
months. Most of the items we currently have are bathroom
accessories, such as a toothbrush holder, soap dish, and a refillable
liquid soap/lotion pump. There are also small EcoGen boxes for
your sorting and organizing tasks. Click here to have a look. $2.99 - $24.99.

Retroactif
makes this easy-on-the-eyes, easy-on-the-wallet line of bags and
pouches from reclaimed mesh advertising billboards. The mesh is
breathable and very lightweight. Each item is handmade in the USA
and is unique. We have several designs to choose from, from the
Mini Pouch ($6.99) to the Daily Tote ($24.99). Click here to see them all.

New Products from Alchemy Goods
|
 
 
Our
favorite ingenious inner-tube inventors at Alchemy Goods in Seattle
have come up with some stellar new products. The Pike Bag ($128) is a slimmer model of their messenger bag. The Belt ($38)
will have you asking what we've been doing holding up our pants with
something other than bicycle inner tubes. The Georgetown clutch ($24.99), Queen Anne wallet ($57.99) and Magnolia purse ($88) offer a more ladylike approach.
