Green Options

If you’re redecorating your child’s room, do you have any eco-friendly furniture in mind?

You’ll definitely have eco-friendly furniture options at eConscious Market, a “For-Benefit” online commerce site.

“We sell the finest ecologically and socially responsible products available and donate a minimum of 10% of every purchase to the exceptional non-profit organizations listed on our website,” says Boulder, Colorado-based eConscious Market.

The weird things you discover while following random links online: apparently there’s a small but growing trend of people walking on treadmills — dubbed Walkstations — while they work.

The New York Times wrote last week about how companies like Humana, Mutual of Omaha, GlaxoSmithKline and Best Buy have been buying these Walkstations — a total of 335 since last November — to help their employees stay fit while they work. Credit for the concept goes to James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic who’s big on the benefits of exercise.
