...give back to the environment. Help cut down on fuel consumption by forgoing plastic water bottles—it takes 1.5 billion barrels of oil per year to meet America’s demands for plastic water bottles and 20 years for them to decompose in a landfill. A stainless-steel water-bottle would be a great alternative to bottle up the beverages. Kleen Kanteen and Swigg manufacture reusable stainless steel water bottle makers, so you don’t have to worry about mountains of trash and bisephonal-A leaching into your drinking water. You can also literally...
Nestled among rolling hills and olive groves once painted by Van Gogh, Domaine de Lauzières appears to be your quintessential Provençal vineyard - until you step into a peculiar cellar. There are no barrels to be seen, nor any of the stainless-steel tanks favored by some modern vintners. Instead, winemaker Jean-Daniel Schlaepfer ferments his high-end wines there in egg-shaped vessels based on amphorae - the clay jars used by the Romans centuries ago. Schlaepfer is part of a growing group of producers around France and beyond returning to the wisdom of the ancients...
...search for phthalate-free alternatives helps explain the increase in sales of sex toys made of such materials as stainless steel, mahogany--yes, you read that correctly--and glass.

(And in the case of Pyrex toys, that they know can be safely warmed in the microwave...
...looking for stuff that you don't really need or are a spouse intent on torturing your husband, just take a ride to Bed Bath & Beyond. After all, the home-furnishing retailer is famous for its selection of macho, must-have merchandise like sweet-smelling soaps, stainless-steel garbage cans and extra-fluffy towels. Like most home-furnishing retailers, Bed Bath & Beyond, a $7.2 billion company with more than 1,000 outlets nationwide, has stalled in the recession: same-store sales dropped 4.3% in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending in February, while earnings fell...
...ribs, I drove down to a Viking distributor in Hayward, Calif., where a fellow named Mike Love gave me a quick demo of the $3,000 cooker. Most smokers I've used look like something from The Beverly Hillbillies. The Viking smoker is a sleek, 375-lb. (170 kg) stainless-steel vault built to resemble a high-end refrigerator. A cute little chimney vents smoke from the middle. The "gravity feed," Love pointed out, is nothing more than a long chute. It works much like a cat-food dispenser; you fill it with charcoal and smoke woods, which drop down...
