Sunflower season is just around the corner and you’ll need a tall vase to accommodate their size. This unique Recycled Bottle is just right. Rio de Janeiro based crafter Sylvia Magalhaes, recycles a champagne bottle, wrapping it with different colored cotton. The result is a gorgeous Mediteranean inspired vase.

Sunflowers are a great choice for summer bouquets since they are in season. Just like fruits and vegetables, choosing flowers that are in season and locally grown is the eco-friendly way to go. You’ll support local flower farmers and cut down on the carbon cost needed to ship out-of-season flowers from another climate.

While the yellow, brown and green of sunflowers matches perfectly with this bottle, brighter blooms can offer a fun accent. Lilies, another tall summer bloom, would also work well in this recycled bottle vase.

Cargo went above and beyond the call of duty when it created the PlantLove
Botanical Lipstick.

Besides the lipstick itself being made from all-natural products, the carton is made entirely from corn, saving emissions of some serious greenhouse gases. And the real kicker: the packaging contains flower seeds, so you can grow a garden as beautiful as your lips.
