Green Marketplace
There is an excellent window display at my library this month which showcases a variety of products from bowls to bags, from clothes to glassware and all of it is made from recycled and/or green materials. The display was done by people at the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County, their website can be found at http://www.swancc.org/. The website is a great sourch of information on reducing, reusing and recycling. For information on products, check out the ECO-Friendly Marketplace at http://www.swancc.org/education/efmp/ecofriendlymarketplace.html
My favorites include:
Bamboosa (natural clothing made with bamboo fibers)
Burts Bees (Great body products)
Bags With Style (Fun bags for all occasions)
Earth Bath (Natural products for pets)
Eco Tours (Eco holiday ideas)
Also check out the For The Home tab for links and resources on making your home and the furnishings and products in it safe for your family.
