Buy it here: http://www.ecobold.com/products/55-eco-cube

This eco cube done by Way Basics is not only sustainable, eco-friendly and VOC-free but also it's super light in weight, extremely strong and easy to assemble. Now that sustainable furniture is a great new trend to follow you have one of the best ones right in front of you. 99% of the board is made with post consumer recycled paper.

What they have to say about it? Eco design for the eco home. This green Cube can be a fun shelving addition to any lifestyle or storage need! Yet another …easy solution.

Yes, it’s a cube. Yet once you put this most-basic Way Basics piece together, you’ll find dozens of uses for it. It’ll be a cubby to store toys, magazines, DVDs or books in. Use it as a source for your creative genius by decorating with storage bins, stickers and more. The Cube is fun, functional and the first building block to creating your own customized furniture ideas. Lightweight enough to easily move from room to room, sturdy and ample enough to store your largest, glossiest coffee table books. We think of this shelving as both superhero and workhorse. You can think of it as pure possibility. Here's what they have to say about the furniture qualities:
Safe: Formaldehyde-free and VOC-free
We treat the people of the world as our family. We want you to be safe and live the healthiest life possible. You can rest assured that our products aren't polluting the air inside your home. VOC's are chemicals that become a gas at room temperature. As a result, products made with formaldehyde will release the gas into the air. This is called off-gassing. If high concentrations of formaldehyde are off-gassed and breathed in, it could cause health problems. There is no formaldehyde in our products. We also use a water-based glue that is completely environmentally friendly, and recyclable too!

Eco: Saves Trees
zBoards are made almost entirely (99%) from post-consumer recycled paper, and do not consume additional natural resources like trees and the enormous amounts of water needed to make virgin paper. While very strong, paper zBoards are made from the lightest form of wood byproduct. Our patented, environmentally sound manufacturing process turns this post-consumer recycled paper into superbly strong boards that weigh 62% less than particle board with unmatched quality and durability. zBoards are the wave of the future thanks to the basic principles of being simple, fun, practical, and made from one of the simplest materials ever - paper.

As founding members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, a coalition united to promote environmentally healthy practices in the industry, we are helping consumers identify good furniture choices. We also strive to offset our company carbon emissions by being a carbon neutral brand. We invite you to find out more about our products, our company, and our goals. Because we’re pretty sure they’re right in line with yours.

Comes in many colors: brown, natural, white and black.
Size:
Outside: Depth 11.34" | Width 22.83" | Height 30.39" Inside: Depth 11.2" | Width 20.9" | Height 14.2" Sustainably made from zBoard recycled paper and completely recyclable. Water resistant.

Natural Shave

More info and coupon code here: http://www.ecobold.com/natural-shaving-by-oliveology/

This natural shaving gel by Oliveology is the best you'll find out there. It's made with 100% natural ingredients and one of them is extra virgin olive oil which helps moisturize your skin much faster. A natural and safe alternative for a shaving gel that's better for you and for the environment.

They say that most shave products contain irritating chemicals, which dries the skin. Oliveology contains no irritating chemicals, and in fact will moisturize your skin because of the olive oil. It combats ingrown hair and prevents cuts and bumps. On top of everything else it preserves the life of your blade and razor. Blades need oil, not foam and the oil helps keep its live much longer, which will also save you money. It works well with all skin types, and it's especially recommended for sensitive or dry skin, as well as hypoallergenic skin. And yes, this is for men, women and for the ladies out there, yes you can use this for the bikini area.

Oliveology was founded by Andy Bello from Naples, Italy and back there they use olive oil for almost everything. His parents, after they were done cooking, had remains of olive oil in their hands and instead of washing it, they'd rub it in their face. At the age of 80 they had better looking skin that most 50 year old who were using chemical products in their face. And this is how the company started.

Per their website, please note that Oliveology is a soothing oil gel. Foaming agents don't influence the quality of the shaving experience, and can actually irritate skin. They also cause oxidation of the blades, shortening their life spa.

Save money by using our coupon code for a 25% off discount. They have two different sizes and the small one can be taken in your check in bag. They will also be coming up with other products such as a natural body gel, shampoo and other skincare products.

Highlights:
- Natural
- Fragrance free
- Hypoallergenic
- No artificial colors
- Extends life of blade

Ingredients list:
Purified water, olive oil, denatured alcohol (from corn), glycerin, hydroxyethyl cellulose (from cotton) isopropyl myristate (from coconut oil), vitamin E, aloe vera, sangre de grado extract, potassium sorbate & sodium benzoate.More info and coupon code here: http://www.ecobold.com/natural-shaving-by-oliveology/... more

Lokta Paper

More info here: http://www.ecobold.com/nepalese-paper/

I recently came across Nepalese Paper owner and he told us about how it's made, why it's green, how strong it is and above all, how cool it is! Nepalese Paper introduces a broad range of the handmade paper, made from the inner bark of the wild shrub, known as “Lokta”. This bush has an ongoing growing process, even after being cut. Nepalese Paper was established in 1995 with the main objective of supporting the developing Nepalese traditional craft industry, thereby improving a family's standard of living in the rural and urban areas. Today, several stores carry Lokta paper.

The company’s items are different and exclusive. You can find wedding albums, photo albums and frames, journals and diaries, address books, stationary and boxed card sets, prayer flags, gift & wine bags, wrapping paper and other cool products. Due to the long fibrous handmade paper, it has a nice texture, it's durable and strong. You will be surprised by the variety of colors – they have everything, from plain light colors to dark colors with beautiful prints. Also there are in different sizes on each product category. It can be a useful gift to your relatives and friends! Interesting, unusual, unique, eco-friendly and 100% green, they will love it!!!

For wholesale the company has special offers, terms and conditions.

Highlights:
- Light
- Strong
- Durable
- Tree free
- 100% natural
- resistant to any insects

How is Lokta paper made?
According to Nepalese Paper, the Lokta bush is an evergreen shrub of the Daphne species, found in the mountainous parts of Nepal above 6500 feet. They can grow up to 10 feet in height and 2 inches in diameter, and are usually ready to be pruned four years after they sprout. Although there is no uniformity regarding the method of pruning, the modern method employing sharp knives, is considered superior to the older, traditional practice of breaking and tearing down the stalks. The harvesting of Lokta also serves other important purposes as well. It allows the plants root growth to accelerate to help hold the soil in place during the two monsoon seasons Nepal gets every year, and it is the only export crop the remote villages have, thus giving them a sustainable form of income, making for a better standard of living. Historically, all Nepalese legal and legislative documents are printed on Lokta paper because it is so durable. This authentic tradition has caught on with international interest because of the environmentally sound, and natural production.More info here: http://www.ecobold.com/nepalese-paper/ I recently came across... more
