 | | If 10,000 Chicago Biters reupholster a small sofa instead of buying a new one, we'll save the weight of nearly three blue whales in waste from entering landfills. |
|  |  | | Chicago’s design-haven Merchandise Mart (at 4.2 million square feet, the largest commercial space in the world) recently became the city’s fifth building to earn LEED certification. | | |

Wanna score big on the home field? Get Karen Kaplan’s New Leaf Interiors in the game. Call up Karen to eco-ize big or small projects around your pad or office, using sustainable materials such as soy-and-corn-oil-based upholstery foam rather than petroleum-based stuff, and artisan touches (see photo). A member of the LEED-certifying U.S. Green Building Council, Karen’s also a clutch pinch hitter when it comes to estate sales (she’ll go shopping with you), energy-saving light fixtures (she’ll design one for you), and all kinds of consultations (color, feng shui, de-cluttering). Nice game. |
