Launch of the InhabitatShop!

The new InhabitatShop has some lovely stuff for sale- all handpicked by Inhabitat’s editors for both great design and ecofriendliness. I’m loving the felt “ring” above, which comes in four different colors. There’s lots of other stuff there too- like the shoes and planter below and more. Check it out!

The Melissa silver flat, so cute!

I don’t know why a giant half-eggshell makes a pretty planter, but it does, no?

Eco-Fashion Makes Local Farmers Happy

The organics industry is expected to boom faster than ever in the next few years. And I’m stoked.

It seems like everywhere I look, someone else is going organic. Just the other day I was perusing my favorite store, H&M and came across and entire organic section, that I had somehow missed the other times I was in there. We’re seeing them pop up all over – The Gap, American Apparel and prAna. It’s cool to be granola, and the farmers are loving it. As with the new craving for locally grown foods, the local farmers are starting to feel the love sustainably harvested homegrown threads.

Both American Apparel and prAna are not only continuing their lengthy organic roots, but will be doing so from Southern California to offset the carbon burned while transporting the goods! Woo!

Speaking of fuel-effieciency…..

….this is what I’m talking about!! The new i-MIEV sport from Mitsubishi, which is actually supposed to be available in 2009, will go about 100 miles on a battery charge with a gas-powered motor kicking in after that. (Although I’m not a Mitsubishi fan considering their past enviro sins, I think I can forgive them enough to get behind this car!)
