Spread the word!

we're back in cali!




Whew! It took quite a bit of effort, but we're excited to be back in Northern California. Marin County is a truly inspiring place, both in the physical presence of nature, and in the general heightened level of awareness.

We are still in the process of settling in place, so please be patient with us.

Check back soon for updates,
Bryan, Jen and Berkeley

The Story of Stuff





Let's get real for a moment, shall we? It seems to me that there is alot of "green washing" going on out there. Energy companies are proclaiming themselves as green, garbage companies are now green, monstrous SUV's are now green. And in some ways, elements of these claims may be true. But, for example, simply taking a 7,000 SUV and sticking an electric motor under the hood to increase gas mileage to 15mpg seems to miss the point of what truly can help humans reduce our impacts on the planet.

If you get a minute (or 20), check out this incredible synopsis of the way things work in the modern industrial world. Watch it and feel free to post any thoughts or comments ;). http://www.storyofstuff.com

Of particular interest to us is the inclusion of toxic chemicals into common goods production. Also, did you know 99% of the goods we buy are trashed within 6 months? As we've stated before here at Bohmo, buy less items, buy less often, but get higher quality, better designed goods that are made of more sustainable materials and by people whom are respected with fair trade practices.

Bohmo.com adds Reform Sustainable Furniture to home section

Bohmo is excited to announce the addition of the Reform Sustainable Furnishings to their online store.

Reform (http://www.reform.biz/) partner Neu-Wa O'Neill and Bohmo owner Bryan Maecker agree that the style and ethics of both companies make for a perfect fit. The Bohmo consumer is searching for unique, funky and hip apparel and home furnishings that are made with ethics in mind. The Reform designs offered on Bohmo.com push the envelope in both design and build materials.

The Bedworks laptop tray (http://www.bohmo.com/home/rehf001.html), for example, inspires with it's clean and modern oval shape, as well as it's bamboo construction. Bamboo matures in just 3-7 years, compared to oak which takes about 120 years. It also does not need replanting and requires very little fertilization and pesticides. And bamboo also consumes 17 times as much carbon as softwood forests.

The Frog Table (http://www.bohmo.com/home/rehf003.html) is innovative in both it's frog-like shape (with a unique storage shelf) and it's aluminum build. Aluminum is 100% recyclable, so this table should never find it's way into a trash heap.

Reform is dedicated to designing, fabricating, and retailing quality sustainable furnishings. Reform believes that business can be a platform for positive change and thus is committed to building a network of like-minded individuals and businesses to achieve that goal. Bohmo is proud to now be in that network.
