Nylon Mag: Sense and Sustainability
Loving the new Nylon article, Sense and Sustainability. It covers some great new designers who are recycling cashmere, working with natural materials to create unique jewlery, and creating high-end eco-couture. Props to Nylon for regularly featuring green designers and sustainable fabrics in their Greenpages. (You can also download their latest…
Departure to a New Utopia
Leonardo DiCaprio is departing from his role in front of the camera and once again focusing his attention towards the environment. Where as Sir Thomas More brought us Utopia, DiCaprio is helping to bring to us E-topia . This new reality TV series is pretty much summed up by this…
What's Up Vogue?
I knew that the October British Vogue was doing a whole green feature, but I had heard nothing about the US version covering any such territory. Lo and Behold, I’m contemplating the resort collections and too many metallic handbags when I come across pages labelled “Earth Days”. Included under the…
Snowboarders Do It Greenly
My favorite snowboard-culture magazine, Snowboarder, is now even better; they are proudly (they tout it on the November, 2006 cover) printing on recycled paper! Not only that, but there is a decidedly environmentally-minded slant to quite a bit of their coverage in various departments; in the photo section they encourage…
Start your Nesting!
Winter’s coming, and with it, the urge to create a cozy nest (I keep my heat so low at night to save energy that I need a seriously warm one, too!) Gaiam has some gorgeous new bed linens in their latest catalogue. I haven’t bought new sheets or blankets in…
Durabook!
I don’t usually just come on and link to things, but this is just way too cool!! A totally recyclable, tree-free book!! I wish there was some sort of way that I could trade in ALL of my books for these ones! I lost an entire copy of Watership Down…

Guestblogger: GardenRant

Check it out! Why Gardening Matters by Susan Harris of GardenRant…
ever wonder how much carbon you produce?
I am so excited about this website: http://www.terrapass.com/ You can plug in information on your personal driving, flying, and household habits, numbers are calculated, and equivalent costs and information about how much carbon you have produced is given to you. Then you have the option to buy a TerraPass that…
Swap-o-Rama-Rama
I went, I saw, I crafted (well, kinda)! My first Swap-o-Rama-Rama (in Brooklyn) was a success. I got rid of lots of great clothes that I never wore (I saw a girl exclaiming with delight over two pieces of mine a few hours into the swap, and it was so…
