friday favorites.

here are my favorites this week, celebrating earth day:

• pandora. support a cd-free planet by visiting pandora, a supercool "a music discovery service" that allows users to find music based on what they already like. just input your favorite artist or song and you'll be served up your very own "radio station" with tunes. in true "i am the center of the universe" fashion, users provide feedback like "i don't like this song. it's not what this station should play." suh-weet! [via superhero journal.] free + subscription options available.

• forestethics. trees help the environment in a number of ways. forestethics helps protect endangered forests. currently, they've got their eye on victoria's (dirty little) secret. find out how you can get involved. non-profit.

• byob. that's bring your own bag. help reduce the billion "free" bags given out each year and bring your own instead. i have this bag and keep it in my purse, just like my buddy showed me how to do! and! type in "freeacmebag" at check-out and get a free bag with your purchase! 9.95, discounts for greater quantities.

• fire + light cake plate. i have a weird thing for cake plates. i have four. i think i could use one more, yes? these plates are made by artisans from recycled glass, crushed by hand (ouch).  i'm not big on the blue, but i think the copper or citrus would do just fine. regularly 64.95, save 20% on any fire + light product with the coupon code "fl042006."

• eco-responsible kitchenwear. i also have a love affair with the cutting board. i have seven. ok, it's a problem, but some were gifts! anyway, if you need one, this board is made from mahogany and guapinol, which was harvested sustainably. also, proceeds help reforestation programs in costa rica and elsewhere. large, 36.
