A Cooler Planet

There is something we love about every one of the hand-picked gems at A Cooler Planet. Some delight a sense or two, others are playful and others pure practical ingeniousness. Many are locally-made, some have their Chicago home exclusively at A Cooler Planet. Many support important non-profit and community work. And all are very easy on the planet. Sustainable. Local. Fairly-Traded. Organic. Renewable. Recycled. Eco-Conscious.  It's all here!

A Cooler Night’s Sleep 
The most extensive selection of green bedding, blankets and bedroom furnishings in the Chicago-area. Eco-conscious, synthetic-sensitive and allergy sufferers sleep easily (perchance to dream of a cooler planet?).

Cooler Ablutions 
Bath, shower, shaving, skincare and make-up products from all-natural ingredients, pure oils, unrefined butters, and essential oils. Many all-organic (a very difficult certification for cosmetic products), some available no where else in Chicago and none ever tested on animals. 

A Cooler Home
For a home that’s cool on all fronts, from beautiful furnishings, rugs, and tableware to beautifully practical food storage, cleaning products, composting and other recycling solutions. 

Cooler Babies and Kids 
When you explore the world by putting pieces of it in your mouth, purity becomes important. So babies and kids get special attention with phlate-free and Bisphenol A-free baby bottles (two plasticizers linked to hormone disruption), and synthetic and chemical-free toys (some locally made). Plus, look for nature- and environmentally-themed games for some friendly family competition. 

Cooler Clothes 
Deck yourself out – man, woman, kid, baby – in organic goodness. Clothing made from chemical-free fabrics, manufactured in sustainable working conditions. Hip shoes made from eco-conscious materials such as recycled car tires, cork and water based glues.
