Boston

Let it first be said that the recently opened Greenward is a damn fine place to buy a little something for a housewarming/birthday/new baby/I’m sorry occasion. But not just any little something. A unique and eco-friendly something. We’re not talking about a bunch of ill-fitting hemp shirts here. We’re talking modern, well-designed objects d’eco. Al Gore, the Live Earth concert, wind turbines—there’s quite a hubbub going on, and Greenward is more proof that we can all do a little something for our planet. Do you bring cloth bags to the supermarket? Do you try to ride your bike or take public transportation instead of driving? Do you also have a subscription to Dwell or Metropolitan Home? If you answered yes to any of these questions then super-stylish Greenward is for you. And they put their money where their mouth is—the store is built with earth-friendly materials, and lit with energy-efficient bulbs.
