As an eco-minded individual you probably want to love all creatures–the birds and the bees and the wasps equally. But when it comes to stinging insects, you probably don’t want them hanging out in your space. Hang up a recycled glass wasp catcher or two and you can ward off the wasps without using toxic chemical pesticides.

The beehive catcher design has been around since the Middle Ages–they didn’t have chemical sprays back then to get rid of pests. Add a little sugar water to the inside of each catcher to lure wasps inside naturally. Each wasp catcher is made from 100% recycled glass and unlike some bug catching contraptions, these glass hives are gorgeous. In green, aqua and organge, they’ll add beauty to your backyard garden area and peace from the risk of insect stings. Click here to read more

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast for the love of the grape or for the love of celebrating life, sometimes there’s nothing better than raising a glass of vino with a friend. And study after study says wine has big health benefits so you can feel good about imbibing (at least a little), but we bet you’ll feel even better when sipping out of eco-friendly wine glasses. Pop open a bottle of organic wine and start pouring!

If you want a striking glass to impress guests, go for a pair of Aqua Lady blown glass wine glasses. The Quiarartes, a traditional Mexican family, creates each glass by hand, taking high carbon cost factories out of the mix. They melt down recycled glass and hand blow the glasses, adding silver leaf for a sparkling finishing touch on the stem.

Or if you want to exude the traditions of Italy or follow the latest trends, choose stemless glasses from Uncommon Goods.  Click here to read more

Decorators have long recommended following the ‘Rule of Three’ when accessorizing your home. Grouping items together in threes or odd numbers is an easy, inexpensive way to keep things interesting and polished looking.

The varying heights, rounded shapes, and dimpled texture of VivaTerra’s Recycled Glass Balloon Vases instantly spruces up tabletops, mantles, or windowsills. Plus, you’ll feel a bit better knowing that you’re consuming a product that’s had a past life – you’re supporting sustainability, not disposability.

We think they’d look smashing filled with flowers or something unexpected, like dried branches, pebbles or sand.
