This is supposed to be an amazing book. I haven't read it (yet) but visit the Singularity website to see what it's about and read the review by Bill Gates.

Eco Dinner Party On Planet Green

bigstockphoto_chef_3100774.jpg
I am continually trying to make meals - simple yet yummy - from only the freshest of what is the best at the market - organic, local, etc. That means it's hard to just open a cookbook and make what the recipe calls for - putting the chicken before the egg. So I am thrilled to see that Planet Green and Tom Bergeron are going to offer a little support and entertainment to that end: "Each week guests on Supper Club with Tom Bergeron get to indulge in a flawlessly prepared green meal created by some of the most famous eco-chefs in the world. Using local high quality ingredients grown with sustainable practices and wasting little are common themes that thread the episodes together. While viewers get to eavesdrop on some pretty insightful conversation while seeing farm fresh meals come together, unfortunately, the magic of television still doesn't allow for taste and smell. For those interested in trying out these fabulous eco-chic meals, Planet Green will now be posting them on the Web site each week. Read up on the recipes and learn all about your favorite green chefs. You don't have to be a world renowned chef to host your own fabulous eco-friendly dinner party." This should be good.

Best Eco Line: Ekovaruhuset

I just discovered this new eco-clothing line and can't quite get enough of it (well, except for the name.) Launched in 2004, Ekovaruhuset is a pioneer in the eco-fashion movement using only organic fabrics, supporting producers that practice fair working conditions and ethics for their employees, and working with materials free from harmful chemicals and animal cruelty. Ekovaruhuset was founded on the belief that fashion cannot be luxurious, stylish or sexy if it is not sustainable, environmentally sensitive and socially responsible. With locations in Stockholm and New York City, Ekovaruhuset is internationally redefining the perception of organic and fair-made fashion with original, stylish creations for women, men and children. Beautiful.  Collection.

Naturally Luscious Lips

Right now I am loving Honey Bee Gardens luscious lip gloss.  It's enriched with vitamin E, cocoa butter, olive oil and shea butter. It's paraben free and super-moisterizing, perfect for fall. Shiny but not sticky. Find your perfect color at honeybeegardens.com. (I love Innocence - pale pink with watermelon flavor.)

If you could only have one piece of furniture, what would it be? Ok, maybe a bed, but still, if one piece really defined your personal coolness, would you not love this bench? But wait, there's more. Just check out Design Public and check on sustainable (because we love that sooo much) and see the coolest pieces on the planet. All eco-friendly and telling your story the way it should be.

This piece is from the Orange22 Designer Botanist Series. Eight icons of design have joined forces with Orange22 Design Lab to launch the firm's Blank Canvas Project. All of the high-profile designers have created new editions of Orange22's indoor-outdoor, eco-friendly Botanist furniture. Botanist matches each designers royalty to a foundation or charity of their choice. What could be better?

Carpet Sample Chair

sqrdchair1.jpg When was the last time you forgot to return a carpet sample and had it in your house, just sitting there, with nowhere productive to go. Well, thanks to designers concerned about the more than 700,000 carpet samples that are produced each year, they don't have to go in the landfill.
