the Never Ending list

This morning I was in the mood for some online shopping, well... more like browsing, being a student on a super low budget. Anyways, I have always LOVED Ikea... I love looking through Ikea catalogs, I wouldn't mind going to Ikea in the near future!! I have quite a few Ikea items in my home at the moment! It's cute, classy and cheap... 


... perfect for my super low student budget ;)


Anyways... Lately I've been making it a point to check out what the businesses I'm shopping at are doing towards sustainable development. Hooray for Ikea (and my love for Ikea)... they are trying to make a difference through "the NEVER ENDING list"... check it out:

So now not only is it cute, classy and cheap... it's also green!!! 


Here are a few examples of what they're doing around the store:





Check out "Programs in Canada" under "What we're doing" on the link above!!


Ikea has also won Canada's Greenest Employers by Mediacorp Inc's "Canada's Top 100 Employers" 3 years in a row!! 


Now, back to my online browsing :)

    I like their stuff!! It's so easy to assemble too. Although if your anything like my boyfriend and appreciate well made, solid wood furniture (which I also do!)... Ikea isn't the greatest for that. They tend to make a lot of furniture out of chip board (or particle board)... which isn't the strongest.. but it is green!!! ;)
