Eco-friendly has never looked so chic. In honor of Earth Month, here are
a few of my favourite things:
Ive been humming Moon River since spotting the Redux
Clementine couch fashioned from a 1918 claw-foot tub. Rest assured,
even the cushions are made of hemp and soy-based foam. Holly, you were
ahead of your time. $850 at www.etsy.com/shop/Reduxx
Save the planet (and mourn the end of CBCs Dispatches) with a
sustainably-produced mini
wooden radio. For every tree used in the making of the retro-style
Magno, a new one is re-planted. Better still, its iPod compatible. $235
at www.galerie-co.com
Now that toting plastic has become positively taboo, Ive been on the
hunt for a leak-proof option. I love this glass and stainless steel
vessel from Toronto design duo Tkaro. Its recyclable and looks as
swish on my desk as it does in transit. Get it engraved so office-mates
wont stake claim. From $36.95 at www.tkaro.com
Im coo coo for reclaimed Canadiana. My latest favorite is a Hudsons
Bay vintage
point blanket jeujed with skull and crossbones. I still cant decide
whether to lay it on my bed or mount it over the sofa. Oh Canada! $650
at Atelier 688, 688 Richmond St. W., Suite 201, www.atelier688.com
