The Better World Shopping GuideHow many times have you been at the grocery store and wished you had a list of the products and companies that are healthier and safer for you, your family and the planet? We find lists of them all the time, and we bookmark them, promising to print them out and put them in our wallets or purses so we’ll have them close at hand as we shop. Then we get to the store, only to realize we can’t remember what products were on those lists.

Are you the winner of the ‘écologique’ giveaway?

by jennae on August 19, 2008

ecologique Book Giveaway Winner

Inspiration comes in many forms. It can come from an innocent bedtime story with your kids, a stroll through your neighborhood, or from a more obvious source like my Green Rooms in a Box series. Thanks to eco designer (and one of my eco heroes) Kelly LaPlante, one lucky winner will walk away with a source of free inspiration, Kelly’s new book, écologique.

With a total of 669 entries in the giveaway, including subscribers and commenters, it did take a bit of luck to win. Thanks to the random integer generator at Random.org, one lucky reader will walk away a winner.

Dorfman is also the founder & CEO of Vivavi, a retailer many of you also may be familiar with that makes contemporary, green furniture and home furnishings (GYD has featured several of their products).
