This past year, Cowie and Fox created a reusable, colourful, yoga bag for Semperviva. The dual sided artwork has been quite eye catching all across Vancouver. I’ve seen it on almost every bus I take and even in the local grocery store.

Recently the bags have been spotted on the other side of the world in Greece.

If there’s one thing I love the most, it’s lounging in a park on a blanket, or spending a few minutes on my lunch break sitting on a bench in the sunshine. Each day I try my best to take a few minutes to have a peaceful moment somewhere away from the daily grind.

I discovered these amazing lawn installations in a park in the Netherlands. It really makes me wish Vancouver had unique things like this.

The playful chairs are designed by Lisette Spee in a collaboration with Tim Van Den Burg the seats are part of a series of lounge chairs made for public spaces in Valkenberg Park in Breda, Netherlands.

Here’s a few ideas on ways to keep the earth happy, not just on Earth Day, but EVERYDAY.

1. Lower your thermostat

2. Reuse your water bottle.

3. Buy foods locally.

4. Ride a bike or walk to work

5. Go to your local library instead of buying new books.

6. Get off junk mail lists, place a red dot on your mail box.

7. Say no to plastic bags (Thrifty Foods and Ikea are banning plastic bags very soon!)

8. Use organic cleaning products like, vinegar, borax, and baking soda.

9. Wash clothes on the COLD cycle
