Tokyo pedals...! (but in a different way)

Even in Tokyo ecofriendly exists! The city per se is not very "green" but I´ve noticed that some initiatives and efforts have started to be done. My aim is to show you the little things that I´m discovering here during my 7 days treep .



Pedestrians in Tokyo share their sidewalk with bikes on the main streets. But people here are used to it, so there´s no problem for anybody about sharing their space and it makes it safer for cyclists.



As you can see there are plenty of bike users, but still not as much as if you compare the number of users per capita with other cities such as Amsterdam or Montreal.

I love this Cushy, Beautiful and Sustainable-Made Moccasins


Eco is not equal to ugly! And if you don't trust me, just check out this hand made moccasins....
According to its website, MANIMAL was formed in 2004 after a native New Englander’s first visit to the American Southwest. Designer Kristen Lombardi's interest in traditional costumes and animal forms influence the design of each moccasin and accessory. All the pieces are handmade and in an attempt to best use precious materials, leather scraps are recycled and reworked.

Aren't they Nice?? Now that winter is coming, these Moccasins seem so warm, comfortable and cute...The perfect match for a winter look. In case u like them, I suggest you to visit Manimal's online shop and let temptation win... http://save-the-manimals.com/

FORWARD THINKING THIEVES

Thieves is a Canadian environmentally-friendly fashion brand founded in 2006 by Sonja den Elzen. A little bit about its philosophy? “Sonja den Elzen conceptualizes her creations through unifying sustainable fabrics, organic textures, collaborative graphics, and sculpting these elements around the form of the human body.”
Their Fall-Winter collection is dark, modern and with a little futuristic touch that I love. U can see more at http://www.thieves.ca/small.html


Even though Thieves is Toronto based, it's possible to find its designs in many places, such as Montreal (4 Elements at 4326 ST- Denis).
But for those who prefer to do first some online window shopping, visit http://www.thievesboutique.com/ , where you could have a look at its online boutique. I especially liked the 5 in 1 dress, which is very nice and it’s a smart investment (http://www.thievesboutique.com/Thieves-Clothing-5-in-1-Dress-58.html )
