Here we are, in the whirlwind of another Wednesday – take a few minutes to enjoy these links.
1. We spend a third of our lives in the bedroom: what better room to green up? Jessica Jensen at Low Impact Living shows us how.
2. Those clever people at Radius have rethought the toothbrush, giving us designer handles and replaceable, recycleable heads. We can’t blame Dose Of Design for loving it.
3. Coat hooks are so 20th-Century: what we need are coat mountains, demonstrated by Reuben Miller.
4. The Eat Well Guide finds you a local source of fresh, sustainable produce (US and Canada only), at the click of a mouse button.
5. Bequeathed to humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders, by the late Haaken Christensen: his entire $40m art collection!
6. We like Ideal Bite’s sassy Tips of the Day (for May 2nd, thinking outside the box for Mother’s Day gifts – and here’s our take on the same subject).
7. ReadWriteWeb have kindly rounded up 15 of the best Green search engines for us (we’re particularly intrigued by the thinking behind Blackle, but naturally we adore Flock).
8. Over at Clipmarks we learnt about Climate Change Chocolate – tips and carbon energy credits with every bar!
9. Vegetables are eco-food – but we’re still not making them fun for our kids (in the U.K. at least), claims Heinz survey. (Thanks to Diary From England for the tip-off).
10. Going solar? Bay Area company Sungevity offers a novel way of analyzing how much power your roof is worth. (Thanks, Alternative Consumer!).
Blog to bookmark: We know that going green doesn’t mean any sacrifice in style and quality. Erin Balser at ChicByNature is of a similar mind – go and see what she’s found in the world of eco-friendly fashion.
Now – on with the week!
