Green Karat
Some of Green Karat’s designs We know diamonds are not a girl’s best friend and we’ve seen environmentally friendly jewelry, like Kiersten Muenster’s , and Gwen Davis’ gorgeous creations. But what if you’re looking for something with more traditional style? Green Karat’s recycled gold jewelry looks the same as non-recycled…
Tilting at Windmills
Should women’s bodies be used to ‘sell’ environmentalism? Lots of folks have been discussing the Ecobabes calendar lately, and though I think the photos in the calendar are pretty tasteful (as I think the picture above, of model Betcee May is), and I certainly believe in celebrating women in the…
Bizarre Bazaar in LA
While I can’t really conceive of being somewhere sunny and warm (not that the Northeast has been exactly frigid lately) for the holidays, I guess people on the West Coast DO still celebrate the Christmas Holidays.

Coming Soon…Portovert
I’m excited about the upcoming launch of the online-only wedding magazine, Portovert, the “First and Only Online Magazine for Eco-savvy Brides and Grooms”. The wedding business in the United States is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, one that creates insane amounts of waste (not to mention Bridezillas!). Up until…
Electric Cars ARE for Girls!
I love this new site, Electric Cars Are for Girls. Since women buy the majority of cars in this country AND make up the bulk of people who consider themselves environmentalists, it makes perfect sense to get women on the electric car bandwagon. Lynne Mason, who runs the site, knows…
