Eco-chic

Today we have a public holliday here in Holland because we celebrate the end of the second world war. I will go to the beach with my man this afternoon. I really need a touch with nature today. I live in a big city but once in a while I feel the urge to go out in nature. To inspire you I have collected a lovely Eco home for you.

Q. Do you know where this lovely home is located?

Eco resort La Gree des Landes

Hello lovely readers across the globe. Happy weekend!! What are your plans for the weekend? I'm in the relax mode this weekend. This afternoon I will go shopping with one of my best friends an tonight we will go out for diner here in my hometown Rotterdam. But before I do that I would like to take you all on a trip to beautiful France.Nestled in the heart of nature, eco resort The Landes Grée is discreet to fit its environment. On the hillside, the guidelines follow the terrain, its rooms with roofs covered with green blend in harmony with the landscape. Its sleek design links the local natural materials such as slate and wood to the ten acres of greenery that make up the landscape park, the prairie and garden. Bioclimatic architecture, building low energy consumption and conservation of biodiversity, Grée Landes is more than just a hotel, but a place to live who undertakes to respect the balance of our planet. With this in mind, The Landes Grée from beauty brand Yves Rocher pledged to increase efforts to promote the best meetings: the man with nature.

Stelton's way of going green

Today I was shopping in Antwerp and I came across the Danish Design Brand Stelton. These beautiful bags are here to stay.

Stelton is "going green" - "It is time for a change - no more plastic bags"Stelton Shopper = 5,23 plastic bagsEnergy consumption in the production of a Stelton Shopper is equal to the energy consumed producing 5,23 plastic bags - but the Shopper can be used again and again and again - it lasts for many years!The Shopper is smart and handy and is easy to keep in a pocket or bag. The bag hides away when not in use, folded into its own plastic handle.
