First Rock’n Roll & Now Green
There seems to be a new angle to the term “British Invasion”. While although the UK is still giving us amazing music such as Coldplay and Aqualung (Who just so happens to be playing at the Bowery Ballroom on May 1st), The Brits are just cranking out amazing green product…
Is the 3rd the Charm?
Tribeca seems to be becoming the little Mecca of eco-friendly living. First there was the remarkable Solaire, then the Tribeca Green, now the new comer in town, The Verdesian, is making its way as the new environmentally advance residential tower of lower Manhattan. Located at the NW corner of Battery…
The New Green Gem
Will Esquire, Harper’s BAZAAR, or maybe even O Magazine have the next big talked about “Green” Issues? This I thought to myself while admiring the NYC skyline from within Central Park on an amazing Saturday afternoon. There was one particular building I was starring at, that made me think that…
Health Care Without Harm
I remember growing up along Long Island Sound and enjoying its beaches as a child. In the late eighties, when tons of medical waste ended up in the NY rivers and the sound, the beaches became hazardous, or what was perhaps even more disgusting, bio-hazardous. My friends and I heard…
Nylon Struts Their Organic Stuff
For how cutting-edge this magazine is, they still haven’t found a new opening line to introduce organic fashions in their newsletter. Instead, they go with the age old adage of: “Environmentally-friendly fashion isn’t limited to the Birkenstock clad activist look. If wearing hemp from head to toe isn’t your…
Hit 'em Where It Hurts (and Maybe They'll Start Paying Attention)
I’ve noticed a slew of interesting articles of late….in the business sections of mainstream newspapers and online. I can’t decide if this is good or bad; though my gut tells me that when the suits start worrying, real change is not far behind. Some examples: Global Warming Could Melt…
FYI for your FYI: Wanted – GIRLS WITH CAMERAS!
I’m attracted to older men, but for some reason George Clooney just never did it for me. But I’ll tell you what did do something: his energy behind FYI (Film Your Issue). He is helping promote and judge a special 30-60 second “issue film” competition. It’s open to our peer group of…
Roll it, Pack it, Charge it
I totally hi-jacked this from a mainly-boyz-only site: Productdose, which is one of my new favorite blogs. I wouldn’t tote this $hit around, but I’m sure any boy toy would think it cool. Gift item for the opposite sex? Perhaps… An expansion upon the Foldable Solar Charger from PowerFilm Solar…
Bad Girls are Attracted to Good Boys
Gather round my fellow rump shakers. Good Magazine will be on the shelves later this year, and what a fine magazine it sounds as if it will be. I met with the peeps courtesy of an introduction by Benjamin Jervey, author of The Big Green Apple Guide. Anywho, they’ll be…
The Hempest
Founded in 1995, The Hempest began as a small clothing boutique in Boston catering to enviros who wanted to wear organically harvested duds. Being on Newbury Street in Boston, surrounded by the big corporate retailers such as Armani, Gap, and Nike, provided Hempest with a challenge that also proved to…
