Perch! Birdfeeder by Tim Yu
This has been around for some time now, but with Spring around the corner birds will soon come back into the area and this birdfeeder will keep them coming back for more. Designed by Amy Adams and handmade by Perch! in Brooklyn, it is made of white low-fire earthenware and comes with a 36" vegetable tanned leather cord. Resembling a UFO of sorts, the bird can enter the feeder or perch itself on top to peck at seeds. At 7" in diameter and 5" tall it can hold about 2 cups of feed and is dishwasher safe.
It is available for $78 at Branch Home, an online retailer that is committed to sustainable design and donates 10% of profits to organizations that promote environmental responsibility.

Vetrazzo: Recycled Glass Surfaces
Ever think that the bottle of ale you had last night could later be used as building material? Using only recycled glass—most of which comes from curbside recycling programs—Vetrazzo brilliantly transforms repurposed glass into artful surfaces for use as countertops or tile. A sustainable alternative to granite, quartz and other quarried stone standards, Vetrazzo's variety is just as strong and durable but easier to...

Cri de Coeur Shoes
A recently-launched brand of high-fashion, vegan footwear based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Cri de Coeur was founded by longtime vegan and Parson School of Design graduate Gina Ferraraccio. Borrowing a name from a French expression which means "to cry from the heart," the (mostly) made-in-Portugal line is Ferraraccio's response to the lack of stylish shoes that are both ethically-produced and animal-friendly. Partnering with The Carbon...

LED Loom Lamp
The first in a line of "organic technology" products, this LED Loom Lamp from Brooklyn based Lwindesign studio weaves reddish branches of Ash coppice around a ring of white LEDs.
