Here is some green stuff I like a lot!
1. Recycled bowls and trays from Bitters Co. - a really great green shopping resource. 2. I know everyone has been blogging about these textiles from Plover Organic but they are fantastic 3. The life and work of everyone at R. Wood Studio is inspirational. These bowls are made by hand from red clay from Georgia. 4. I want this fancy schmancy no electricity required coffee maker from Toddy Cafe. 5. This favor box is part of the Paper-Source environmentally friendly line of stationery and paper. 6. greenKarat's goal is to end destructive gold and diamond mining by creating ecologically and socially responsible jewelry. 7. My baggu is one of my favorite accessories. I use it for groceries, a lunch bag, library books, everything. 8. Cute felt birdies from the sustainable living experts at Branch Home.

Greetings! I love that you're focusing on green stuff -- it should be all year, not just March! But every little bit helps, eh?
Right now all I have up is my jewelry. I get most of my beads from thrift stores and estate sales and such, so they're reused instead of buying new. I also make my clasps from silver wire instead of buying them -- much less manufacturing and packaging there. Here are a few links:
Strange Fire
Still Catch the Tide
Hammer and a Nail
All of my packaging is reused, too -- I get packing peanuts and bubble wrap from a local trophy store that's more than happy to let me take their leftovers instead of throwing them away.
I'll soon be adding Earth-friendly bath and body stuff to my line, too -- no artificial anything in them. Links to come, I suppose, as soon as I've won the battle with the printer.
Thanks for the opportunity to show off my work, and thank you for showcasing green stuff!

Hi, What a fun blog. Thanks for showcasing ECO-FAB ways to live. My hand knitted line is 100% Recycled/Recrafted from forgotten sweaters. The line's called A Second Chance @ WeAllDeserveOne.com
The store is asecondchance.etsy.com
Not only is everything recycled, I also give 10% of all proceeds to KIVA.org (a wonderful int'l org. that gives second chances to indie businesses in developing countries).
Thanks for your time, hope you enjoy what you see.
Best wishes,

I've been trying to recycle and reuse as much as possible and one way I did this was with this piece of art:

Hey! Great idea! I am an artist that uses cardboard to create my "canvases"
I have pictures of my art on flickr

and my etsy site- http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5088213
This is a great idea! I recently wanted to add something recycled to my shop so I started making recycled notebooks/journals. I just have two up now, but I've already thought of ways and items I can use to make more so that this stuff doesn't wind up in the garbage.
You can see pics and descriptions in my listings here:

Hi Emilia,
I love your idea and the fact that you are interested in promoted this kind of thing.
I am a textile artist and clothing designer. I came up with a re-usable bulk food bag after becoming aware of how much plastic we use when buying bulk food in my local natural food store. I just opened a new shop on Etsy with my new ripstop nylon bulk food bags:

My other shop has organic cotton tshirts and if you look in my jackets section you will notice that they are re-constructed from used jackets:

Thank-you very much for your kindness,

I love this idea!!!
We decided a few years ago to participate in a wind power program through our local utility. Now I'm proud to say my electric kiln (& house & studio!) are powered with clean, green energy! Small sacrifice, great feeling!
