With their sustainable bamboo dish cloths and towels and their unique microfiber cloths with built-in scrubber, this Minneapolis company offers a great green cleaning experience.

Not your mother’s melamine, Grenware (with a long “e”) is made from bamboo, straw and rice hulls with plant derived dyes from coconut and rice hulls. This line contains no petroleum or plastic, is dishwasher safe and durable for five years of use, after which time it can be composted.

Meg Lunos came in a little while ago with her new (and BLUE) summer pottery. Besides her lovely, functional bowls and mugs, she brought us some beautiful European style butter bells (you put the butter in a little well in the lid and water in the bottom half—it keeps your room-temperature butter sealed away from the air and fresh).

We’ll admit—we’re biased towards Meg Lunos’s graphically sophisticated and highly functional mugs, bowls and trays. Before Meg started Meghan Elizabeth Pottery, she once worked at Linden Hills Co-op as part of our customer service team!

If you’re planning a big event, like a wedding, baby shower, anniversary or significant birthday for someone a little outside the consumer mainstream, why not use the Alternative Gift Registry? This great free service is offered by New American Dream, a nonprofit that promotes responsible consumption, and Linden Hills Natural Home has created a simple brochure you can use to get your registry started.

Linden Hills Natural Home now carries select bamboo children’s clothing, bamboo washcloths, hand and bath towels made by Dreamsacks. A family owned and operated company in Ashland, Oregon, Dreamsacks provides products that comfort and nurture. Bamboo as a fabric is more absorbent than cotton but also has natural wicking properties. It is lightweight, very soft and very sustainable.

So you know paper and plastic are not exactly the right idea when it comes to bringing home your shopping. What to use instead? We’ve got a bajillion options at Natural Home!
