A new online retailer hits the web. Called Feel More Human, they feature sleek modern goods that are functional and stylish. What’s more is that most of their products are made through sustainable development in mind. You will find a variety of categories represented from furniture, home accessories, lighting, storage, kids and baby wear, jewelry and beauty. You will be inspired and get lost on their site.

But there is more than just shopping, as the site supports the shift towards good global citizenship with its articles and guides. There are interviews with eco business owners, design and culture trends and the latest in sustainable solutions. There is a classified section where you can sell your used goods to others. You will also find an in depth resource section that lists other products and services that support a healthy green life and simple ways to do better with your shopping habits. This sets Feel More Human from other eco ecommerce sites that just sell the goods. You can come here for good green content and ideas as well!

Not every product on the site is 100% eco friendly but they make a good effort to make them so. It’s ok to have a stylish hand that is not eco friendly as long as you wear it with organic jeans and organic make-up!

Feel More Human also donates 1% of annual gross sales to 1% For the Planet and purchases 100% of its electricity from wind generated power.

A wallet that is 100% recyclable is the Tyvek Wallet. I know I go through a wallet once a year. It goes through abuse every day sitting in the back pocket through all types of conditions. Typically I just throw it away, but this doesn’t have to be so anymore.

The Tyvek wallet is made of 25% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable. The eco wallet is made of one single sheet of tear-resistant Tyvek which is the same material express mail envelopes are made from. They are very thin and durable.

The wallets are so thin that they are stealthy in the pocket and you can get them in a variety of prints to look like other materials giving you an added degree of stealth.

You can get yours at www.dynomighty.comand at museum and design stores around the world. Check the video out at their site….
