This Month's
Favorite
Stolen Bikes Boston
What at first glance might seem to be a particularly
brazen fencing operation is actually a new effort by the City of
Boston's bike program to help you find your stolen bike. Register
your bike at the site and then, if it's stolen, you can enlist an army
of Twitter and Facebook vigilantes (as well as the police) to help you
track it down.

Hello!
We
hope everyone has taken some time to enjoy the summer. We here at
Greenward have made a few trips to the beach already, but in between
swimming and application of sunscreen, we have found time to add quite
a few new products to the store. We haven't added everything to
the web store yet, so some things (like organic cotton sheets and
towels from Coyuchi),
you will have to visit us in person to see for the moment.
Non-locals still have plenty of eco-friendly finds to choose from,
though--see below!
Renovations Coming
The
façade of our building is scheduled to be renovated sometime
soon. We don't know exactly when the work will begin or how the
building will look afterward, but we have high hopes for a spruced-up
appearance! We plan to be open during the entire construction
period.
Greenward's Web Store on Vacation
Our
web store will be closed August 16-23. You can still place
orders, but they will not be processed or delivered until after August
23. We will still, however, be open for business at 1764 Mass.
Ave!

New Flip & Tumble Prints and Produce Bags |
 
 
 
Flip
& Tumble's 24/7 Bag is one of our most popular sellers due to its
many clever design features: a single shoulder-length handle, a felt
shoulder pad, a stretchy incorporated stuff sack, vibrant color
combinations, and lightweight, durable fabric. As if that wasn't
enough, they have introduced five new printed bags. In our view,
the prints do a bit to defeat the purpose of the fold-up shopping
bag--if the bag looks this good, why would you ever fold it up? The printed bags are $11.99. Original bags are $9.99.
Flip
& Tumble has also introduced a line of reusable produce bags to
free you from the tyranny of
tearing bag after bag off that roll at the grocery store. Also a great
choice to take along to the farmers' market. You get five (5) 12" x 14"
polyester mesh bags in a set. The mesh has a tight but breathable weave
and
there is a drawstring at the top to keep things from escaping. They do
double duty as travel and organizing bags. Our first shipment of
these bags has been rapidly depleted, but we have more on the
way! If they go out of stock, just check back in a few days to
see if we've received the next batch. $10.99 for a set of five.

New Taza Chocolate Flavors
|
 
Our
friends over at Taza Chocolate in Somerville have introduced two new
flavors of their Chocolate Mexicano discs: Cacao Puro and Yerba
Mate. Cacao Puro is about the purest chocolate experience you
will find outside of a cacao plantation--just stone-ground organic
cacao beans and sugar. Yerba Mate is wildly popular as a beverage
in South America, and you will have an idea why once you try it
combined with Taza's Direct Trade chocolate. $4.50 for a package with two discs (2.7 oz).

To-Go Ware Classic Tiffin
|
This is To-Go Ware's original tiffin design, a clever little food
carrier with two separate stainless steel containers that clamp
together like a portable tank to defend your lunch. Also includes a
small "sidekick" container for condiments. $23.99.

Stainless Steel Straws
|
Stainless
steel straws: simply stupendous for sipping soda, seltzer, or
sasparilla. Really, who doesn't love drinking with a straw?
More fun and fewer spills! Now you can have the straw and forgo
the waste. These dishwasher-safe 18/10 stainless steel straws
should last approximately forever under normal conditions (note: it
looks like a bendy straw, but it's not really bendy unless you are very
strong). Set of 4 for $10.99.

Organics is a line of clothing for the elegant infant, made from
US-grown organic and recycled cotton fabrics sewn in New England.
The current line includes dresses and jumper and hooded t-shirt
sets. $27.99-$42.99.
