Luxury Shopping: It is possible for a luxury lifestyle to peacefully coexist with sensitivity for the environment, and VivaTerra.com proves it. From apparel to organic foods to home furnishings, VivaTerra's products are both elegant and eco-friendly.
Shoppers can own a piece of American history with the special Limited Edition Thomas Edison Table, made from hardrock maple flooring boards salvaged from a Wisconsin factory, once owned by Edison, that was recently torn down. These boards have been lovingly hand-sanded, treated with an eco-friendly waterproofing finish, and converted into tabletops that rest on scalloped steel legs. For a fun yet distinctive look, pair the table with a set of Vintage Ruler Chairs, made from authentic vintage advertising rulers, and a hand-woven Braided Hemp Rug manufactured from hemp grown with no pesticides. 
What good is a beautiful table without serving pieces that complement it? Eco-Elegant Wine Glasses, in red and white wine styles, look just like fine crystal but are manufactured from recycled materials. Handmade Celadon Dinnerware is high-fired from aged clay and wood ash, and the back of each piece is embossed with the firing date according to the Buddhist calendar. Mugs and soup bowls have stay-warm lids.
For an environmentally friendly Valentine's Day gift, consider a selection from the Organic Gourmet section, such as the Viva Terra Root Bowl of Chocolate Treats, which come in a Chinese fir root bowl. For coffee lovers there is the Connoisseur Hand Grinder & Coffee Set, with organic Sumatra medium roast beans.
Customers of VivaTerra.com also give a gift to the Earth when they shop; on all orders over $75.00, $1.00 is donated to the Trust for Public Land.
