Home decor is a reflection of the times, so its no wonder that the latest styles are environmentally friendly and organically inspired.  The “Cove” Pillows by Amenity L.A. are gorgeous accent cushions made from a blend of organic cotton and hemp; non-toxic, water-based inks; and an interior fiber made from recycled bottles.

These pillows are available in two sizes on the sustainable design website, Branch.com:

If you are one of the people who is constantly looking for eco-friendly fashion to coincide with your eco-friendly lifestyle, here is a cool product for you.

We are well aware of hemp being a natural resource, and many environmentally sustainable products made from the material. Over at Greenhome.com, you can find some hemp watchbands that are durable, have double stitched seams, and are grown sans the use of dangerous pesticides.

Switch those watch faces out on some new wristbands, and add a little style to your life. You can do it all in a green manner as well.

A handbag is an important accessory to have. As many will tell you, one can never have too many purses. There are ones to go with different outfits, ones for different occasions and handbags that were simply impulse buys while you are walking around the store.

In keeping of the tradition of unique bags, there is also one that is made from recycled material, and looks really cute, too. The Hand Bag available from Chopstick Art is (as the name may lead you to believe) made from recycled chopsticks. In addition, the lining and strap are both made from hemp, making this bag a nice, eco-friendly way to carry all your stuff.

This bag available from Chopstickart.com will only set you back $32, which is a small fraction of the price of some of the purses you see being carried around these days.

Let’s be honest here: throwing away that coffee filter is a bit of an annoyance. Some of us who are hardcore coffee drinkers also know it’s troubling when you go to make that perfect cup-a-joe in the morning, and realize you forgot to buy coffee filters at the store. It’s not the most pleasant way to wake up in the morning.

There are a variety of reusable coffee filters out there, but you can’t always find one that is green or eco-friendly…something good for the environment. Well, over at Nubius Organics, they sell reusable coffee filters made from hemp fabric. All you have to do is rinse with water or a natural dish soap, and you are set to use the same filter the next day.

At $5.95 per filter, it’s the perfect way to help save paper, do something good for the environment and still retain that wonderful, dark roast that you love to wake up to every morning. Don’t forget to add your old coffee grounds to your compost pile or bin when you empty out your reusable hemp coffee filter!
