As part of Eco Month on YumSugar, we've been exploring the different ways to eat, cook with, and utilize the sustainable plant known as bamboo. With its status as a rapidly renewable resource, bamboo is the golden child of the eco-friendly marketplace. In the kitchen, it's indispensable, forming the backbone of a myriad of products including cutting boards, utensils, dishware, and even textiles. Read more
It's funny to think that just a few years ago, bamboo cutting boards were hard to come by. These days, the boards have taken their place as standard fare beside their wood and plastic peers. This material has endeared itself toall kinds of kitchen products, not to mention environmentalists, thanks to the plant's rapid growth and regeneration. Bamboo grows to a harvestable height in three to five Read more
It's almost Earth Day, so chances are you've been hearing the word "eco" so much that it almost loses its meaning. But when you shop consciously, it's about more than just reading a label. Knowing how your fitness wear is made and where it comes from can be just as important as sourcing your meal at a restaurant. The good news is that finding an eco-friendly fabric can also enhance your workout; Read more
Are you down with the bamboo gadget and accessory trend? Now is the perfect time to get on board, not only because Earth Day is just a few short days away, but because there's a new laptop case on the market that promises eco-friendly protection and style. Called Silva ($179), this case wraps your 13- and 15-inch MacBooks in carmel bamboo and hand-oiled leathers, so you can tote your machine to Read more
Portland-based accessory manufacturer Grove first made a name for itself with beautiful laser-etched bamboo iPhone cases, and it's now applying the same gorgeous style to the iPad 2. I'm loving its collection of beautiful iPad 2 skins. Starting at just $29, they are simple and sustainable, crafted from bamboo and available in a light natural bamboo color or darker amber, available either plain Read more
Bamboo is a renewable source, and using it instead of wood is not only great for the environment, but lends a natural feel to your gadgets as well. Using bamboo to cover your iPhone doesn't mean you have to walk around with a brick on your handset — these artist-designed iPhone cases from Grove are perfectly stylish, and are eco-friendly to boot. Choose from one of ten different laser-etched Read more
Perusing a thrift store in San Francisco recently, I stumbled upon this 1960s faux bamboo dresser by Thomasville . . . on sale for only $69! Not only was its price unbelievable — today a Thomasville dresser retails for $1000-$2000 — but it was love at first sight. Hollywood Regency is so my style! It also offered lots of storage, and its length made it a perfect fit for my entry hall, where I Read more
Earlier today, I showed you the impressive before and after pics from Bollare's office renovation. However, I only teased you with one of many photos of the gorgeous space. When Bollare, a full service fashion, beauty, and lifestyle public relations firm located in West Hollywood, CA, decided that it was time to move its office, the company turned to Green Tangerine to help transform the raw Read more
I've noticed a ton of wood and bamboo products popping up lately and just spotted these Handcrafted Wood Shells for the iPhone ($40) available in bamboo, walnut, or cherry from Vers (which has a history of creating stylish and chic wooden electronics). The impact-resistant cases have connector and camera openings, allowing full use of your phone while in the case. Plus, for every tree used in Read more
Don't get me wrong: I absolutely adore Rubie Green textiles. But the label's stylish and eco-conscious fabrics are not exactly wallet-conscious. This cheerful, Chippendale-esque Tillinghast fabric goes for $90 a yard. It's true, there are fabrics much more expensive. But this price tag adds up when you're ordering drapes for every window in your living room, or covering the whole canvas of a Read more
