EverybodyGreen Jewelry
The green collection from EverybodyGreen is made from naturally derived, eco-friendly materials including nickel-free and lead-free cornstarch based resin greenbeads and organic hemp.
OrangePiel
While at Dwell on Design, we checked out OrangePiel, a young textile printing company that creates unique wall coverings. The textile, Clipso, is PVC free, and their process is environmentally-friendly. The options are endless: you can create a wallpaper-like textile by adding adhesive to the back, or just use the tracking system and create an entire wall from one of your own photo.
zJayne
My friend Julie finds some decent stuff! She bought these reusable t-shirt bags from zJayne and told me how awesome they are. How clever and awesome!
Flip & Tumble
I love these reusable bags from Flip & Tumble - the demo video is really impressive.

Margaret Taylor
Margaret Taylor creates beautiful pieces of furniture using reclaimed wood in a patchwork pattern. My favorite are the beds. Actually, she creates a whole slew of amazing items, so you have to check out her website:
Also, you can purchase many of her items at Uncommon Goods: http://www.uncommongoods.com
Batucada Jewelry
I received some lovely mail items this week: a necklace and bracelet from Batucada - made from eco-friendly plastic, or “eco-plastic”. The “eco-plastic” formula contains environmentally-friendly certified components and no phthalates. It is pretty high-tech stuff - rubbery and flexible, while staying flat on the skin. The designs are beautiful as well.

Iannone Graphic Armoire
I spotted this armoire over at Wildflower Organics.
Annie’s Sweatshop
My friend Julie says I’ve seen everything, but this morning she sent me a link of something I haven’t yet seen - eco-friendly dog hoodies and supplies from Annie’s Sweatshop. Because Julie and I both have dogs, this is definitely something we’re both bookmarking for future reference. I think Beans needs one of those hoodies.

Go IKEA!
It has been one year since IKEA’s no more plastic bags program began, and IKEA is overwhelmed with the stunning results; more than 92% of their customers said no more plastic bags! Wow. I have been to IKEA about 12 times or so in the past year and I bought myself one of their nifty reusable bags for when I load up on trinkets.
In October 2008, IKEA will go completely plastic bagless!
