100-mile design
After the 100-mile diet, please welcome the 100-mile design. This Saturday’s Globe and Mail edition talks about Canada-made luxurious furniture that we can be proud of and buy without having to worry about our carbon footprint. Maybe next week they’ll explain how to get local furniture when you’re on an Ikea budget…
In the same Life Style section, The Globe explains why it’s better to repair old fashion and furniture items instead of replacing them and gives tips on how to do it. You save money, don’t hurt the environment and perfect your vintage style. Then again, the Globe’s advices would be so much more credible if they didn’t keep on giving advice on shopping, a.k.a. buying new and yet unused things, in the rest of the section.
