What is it?? A sustainable material, is a material that does not effect the environment – biodegradable usually, or it can be re-used. I found out, however, that Sustainable, does not always mean renewable!! Interesting!! Renewable is something like Wool, that renews itself because it grows on sheep.
In trying to do our little part for our future generations, here are a few super cool Sustainable and Renewable products!!
The One time use plate set below, (made by Wasara) is a renewable and compostable product, renewable because it is made of 100% material that can grow, and regrow..get it?? ( Bamboo, Sugar Cane fiber and reed pulp) AND it has such a great aesthetic!! $20 for the set!!!
Next, look at this print on wood of NYC!! Its the best of both my worlds, Pic of NYC, manufactured in the great state of Michigan!! Water based Paints on Maple Veneer, and only $26 from Branch Home
Okay, so although, these next pieces are a little ODD unique..there is something about them that I absolutely love!! what do you think? 100% natural beeswax. $32 for the set
Don’t forget, there are a Zillion interior design options made from cotton. Look these beautiful “tea” towels made of organic Cotton grown in India!! I LOVE these towels, and also love how they are displayed here, hanging!!
AHHH!!! GET READY for the next AH-MAZING “rug”!! I really did go nuts when I saw it !!!!!! Its not cheap,( a mere $688 for 27″ dia.) but its GLORIOUS!!! ( by the way, I NEVER use that word, Glorious…but that is how excited I am right now!!) am I crazy or does anyone else see this and want to jump with excitement??
It’s a VINTAGE BELT FLOOR MAT!!! are you kidding!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I certainly can not top the above mentioned awesomeness…( I tend to be a little over the top sometimes by the way) BUT look below at an interesting use for Felt!! Not everyone’s cup of tea, but this Charlotte Kingsnorth felt chair, is just that, a chair made from 100% felt!! I wanted to show you that there are larger pieces also earth conscious!
And finally, this great little modern desk from Design Public, made from 100% natural wood, its so cute, and only $147. Cute, right??
OKay, so there you go..a few great options to consider, for your home, and for our earth 🙂 Enjoy your Monday!!
