Great water sandals for kids 4-year-olds should be the official testers for all shoes. They drag their toes to stop their bikes; they splash in puddles, run through sand, and then grind their wet shoes against rocks and tree branches. They use them in lieu of hammers and saws, and typically wear a new pair out in about two...

Glass Baby Bottles Due to concern about endocrine disruptors we have been trying to avoid plastic. As I understand it, there are safer and less safe variations of plastic. But our guiding principle is "better safe than sorry." That is why we were ecstatic to discover Born Free glass baby bottles. They also offer a...

Eco home furnishings and organic cafe I spent a couple yeas in Baltimore before heading back home to Colorado. One of my favorite places in the city was (and still is) bluehouse. The store is within an old warehouse with exposed brick walls and wood beams. The wide variety of tasteful and sustainable home furnishings makes you want to...

great food, great company I admit it. I do not go to Chipotle because they are one of the most enlightened companies in the U.S. I started going to what I think was the very first location on Evans near DU years ago simply because it was delicious and quick. I have been a customer ever since. It in only recently that I...

My favorite socks I love Teko socks. I originally purchased them specifically because the company is doing everything they can to be the epitome of sustainable. Then I wore them and had to buy more. Fortunately the socks are incredibly comfortable so my feet, head and heart all feel good about the purchase.

CO2 Dry Cleaning Thank goodness for Revolution cleaners. If it were not for them, we would not have a completely safe alternative for "dry cleaning" here in Boulder. However the icing on the cake is their customer service. They pick up and deliver so we just call when we have a load to do. There are other cleaners...

Eco home inspections If you want to be confident that you are living in the healthiest home possible, Jacques Environmental Services is the company to call. I expected the usual suggestions about non-toxic cleaners, zero VOC paint, and organic textiles. Instead I got a forty page report that included indoor air quality...

cool & sustainable clothing company I just bought a pair of pants from Nau's new store in Boulder. I had seen their ads and visited their website before the store opened here in Boulder. I admit that I was predisposed to liking the stuff because the company was built from scratch to promote positive change. Fortunately I did not need...
