This all-in-one high chair converts into a booster seat, space saving chair, restaurant high chair, modern high chair and commercial high chair; essentially, there’s the chair for older kids, the sturdy step stool, highchair and regular chair.

This highchair is perfect for grandparents, ideal for restaurants and a perfect chair for busy families on the go. This dynamic design means fewer stubbed toes, more monetary savings, and more space.

Designed by the Danes, who demand space-saving devices for their modest sized homes, this wooden highchair is made with FSC-certified solid Birch cut from sustainable forests in the European Baltics. Steel, BPA and phthalate-free plastic components and water-based and formaldehyde-free varnishes are used to create the chairs.

Jamie Lim loved the skyscrapers and bamboo scaffolding that she observed in Hong Kong during her teens. The beauty of the architecture provided her with the impetus to start her own sunglass line and her first collection was entirely based around bamboo. KAYU, which means “wood” in Malay was such a hit that the collection now includes a range of bags inspired by nature, which are intricately handcrafted and composed of straw and shell.

The eyewear is not only made of bamboo but fast-growing grass and other sustainable material. Women’s cooperatives and female entrepreneurs are responsible for the creation of the bags and glasses. KAYU donates all the funds for every pair of glasswear purchased to one-sight restoring surgery in the developing world. Now, that’s vision.

Check out our Green Giveaway this week, it is a pair of Kayu Sunglasses:Style, Rawa!

Organic food delivery might sound like an oxymoron but the people at Green Truck are aiming to dispel the notion that fresh and fast food go together. Green Truck is a new and innovative mobile catering company that is putting the taco trucks of yesterday far in the rearview mirror. The menu is gourmet but the traveling truck is not; food choices include sustainability farmed shrimp, falafel wraps, rosemary French fries, vegan burgers and yogurt parfaits with clean produce.

Based out of Los Angeles, Green Truck prides itself on “conscientious cuisine” and is true to its word in that the trucks themselves run on recycled vegetable oil with a solar powered commissary and cleaning products that are environmentally friendly as well as biodegradable plates and flatware. The company was recently featured on ABC’s Food Revolution with Jamie Oliver and has already expanded their truck brigade from two to four. The Green Truck is on a roll, literally.
