I (Heart) Tom's

I’ve been a fan of Tom’s of Maine since I was a whippersnapping treehugger in tie-dye with a flower in my hair. They make the best natural toothpastes (who else would have thought of gingermint?), and some damn good deoderants and other personal care stuff. They’ve been doing it for years, too- they’re not just another LOHAS-loving capitalist company.

Now, Tom’s is going 100% wind-power. That means that their 100,000 square foot manufacturing plant will be run with energy from wind turbines in Nebraska. Their press release elucidates:

The change will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.5 million pounds per year, the equivalent of planting 214 acres of trees or removing 138 cars from the road.
 

Mmmmm……Tom’s gingermint.

Fashionable Trend? Hair on the Legs?

Well…not quite. I don’t think hair on women’s legs was ever really in fashion at any given time, though traditional Europeans and hardcore treehuggers may beg to differ.

Anyway, thought I might send this your way: Not 100% Merino wool, but close to it. StockinGirl has extended their Merino wool tights from last year into great wool leggings and leg warmers. Don’t know if you noticed, but this is a hot trend for the winter months – and quite frankly, should be the only hair on your legs…
