Evos: Organic, Healthier, More Sustainable Fast Food. Seriously

by The Author from Sincerely Sustainable  (green blog) — 07-02-2009 15:30
Editorial Rating: Reader Rating: ( 0 votes)

When I heard about Evos being an organic, healthier, more sustainable, and all around greener fast food chain, I have to say I was dubious of the claims. I figured they would do the typical minor greenwash items to claim sustainability. Well, I was wrong.

Carré d'étoiles

by noreply@blogger.com (Alex) from Shedworking  (other blog) — 07-02-2009 14:32
Editorial Rating: Reader Rating: ( 0 votes)

Carré d'étoiles is a lovely shedlike tourist accommodation which would also be great for shedworking (and indeed shedliving). As well as mini-hotel rooms with all the latest high-tech modcons, they are also mini observatories and each model comes with a sky observation kit including telescope. It's all the idea of Louis and Nathalie Blanco who have experience of this kind of alternative tourist hideaways via their Les Roulottes de Campagne business which offers shepherds' hut-like accommodation in rural areas of France (see below). The truly lovely site (complete with gentle birdsong and philosophical musings) is in both French and English.

Color education goes prime time- hopefully

by noreply@blogger.com (Rachel) from Hue  (other blog) — 07-02-2009 12:33

One of my fellow IACC-NA colleagues is a contestant on HGTV's Design Star this season. Way to go Jennifer! I'm certainly going to tune in to see if she can incorporate some color education for the viewers into her projects. It's high time a professionally-trained color consultant gets some air time. One thing the website got incorrect: "Jen is one of only 51 color consultants in the U.S. certified by the International Association of Color Consultation...." Actually, we have close to 100 members in our North American chapter now. Then, there are the much larger chapters in Europe and Asia . Tune in Sunday nights, (Premieres Sunday, July 19, 10/9c ) and let's discuss the show. I've never seen it before, so I'm curious to see what it's all about. Thanks Lori , for the tip!

Guéhenno Office de Tourisme

by noreply@blogger.com (Alex) from Shedworking  (other blog) — 07-02-2009 12:32
Editorial Rating: Reader Rating: ( 0 votes)

The Office de Tourisme in the small village of Guéhenno in Brittany is a lovely shedworking atmosphere spotted by David Wike . "The office/shed was unmanned," he says. "Someone just unlocked the door in the morning so you could wander in and help yourself to leaflets from the racks inside." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday posts are sponsored by Vivid Green, the low energy garden building specialists.
