Force of Nature
A one-stop shop to turn your household green
G
oing green doesn’t have to be as drastic as slapping solar panels on your roof or buying a hybrid. At Greenward, the emphasis is on the easy and everyday. Since it opened in 2007, the shop has become a neighborhood center for sustainability by limiting its selection to the recycled, organic, educational, and all-around environmentally friendly. Greenward is the go-to place for gifts and household items, like BPA-free baby bottles and recycled cutting boards and mixing bowls. And, if you live in the city, you can get your goods delivered—by bike. Rineman
