Date: May 27, 2008 | Category: Green Building, Home Furnishings, The Home
Menlo Park, California, a stone’s throw from Stanford University, is probably best known for it’s golliath tenants - venture capital firms. Now, it seems that it is offsetting it’s decadent investors by becoming a hub for green living. With a Green Ribbon Citizens Committee and a green author series, good things are bound to happen. Enter Reclaim, an eco-home-boutique in the heart of downtown Menlo. From basics like organic bedding to low VOC paints, Reclaim sells repurposed wood furniture, cork flooring, custom bamboo cabinets, organic items for babies, and non-toxic nursery furniture. People in the Bay Area have awesome resources over every bridge and through all of the tunnels. Reclaim joins Green Fusion Design Center in Marin, Spring in San Francisco and Eco Home Improvement in the East Bay. But if you don’t live in Northern California, don’t despair, there are lots of online resources and more and more Eco-depots cropping up.
