Posted on August 15th, 2007 · 14 Comments
We think that it's sexy to BYOB (bring your own bag) , but finding the right one can leave you feeling like Goldilocks; your messenger bag is too small for groceries, your beach bag is too big for the drug store and that free bag that came with your gym membership? It's just embarrassing. For September, we thought we'd help weed through the sack stack and profile a trio of bags that we think are just right.

Posted on July 1st, 2007 · 6 Comments
There are two types of people in this world: those who have (and love!) beautiful plants in their homes, and those who just haven't learned yet that it's easy to have beautiful plants. Plant lovers, please never forget to tell those wonderful plant-less people that perhaps you were once like them (maybe you even killed that first plant your mother swore was immortal when she gifted it to you during your first year of university?). And plant-less people, it's okay to be slightly timid. We know your green heart is just looking out for number one (and by number one, we mean the plant). ...

Method products are a major favorite of ours at green is sexy.

This is enough to offset method's entire estimated carbon footprint for its business operations. Method is easy to find and easy on your wallet. Your French Lavender floor cleaner will cost you the same amount as that bald ...
June’s Product of the Month: BioBags
Posted on May 1st, 2007 · 7 Comments
We'll try not to be too, eh-em, corny when we talk about how obsessed we are with BioBags, but it's hard not to be. BioBags look like a plastic sack, feel like a plastic sack (actually a bit softer), and hold up like a plastic sack, but they aren't plastic - they are made of corn!
The material is actually called Mater-Bi, the first completely biodegradable and compostable bio-polymer ever invented. Adhering to strict guidelines and testing, Mater-Bi has been certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 specification.
BioBags are catching on quickly, too. We've seen them ...

Posted on April 1st, 2007 · 23 Comments
Preserve toothbrushes are made from recycled plastic (mostly yogurt cups) and are 100% recyclable themselves. When your Preserve toothbrush is ready for retirement, the company sends you a postage-paid mailer to return it to them for recycling. Preserve converts your old toothbrush into plastic lumber, which is used for things like picnic tables in parks! For more info on Preserve toothbrushes, including where to buy them, go to: http://www.recycline.com/index.html. (And just because we loved this product doesn't mean you will.
