My Country, My Choice Video
We came across this video and wanted to share it with our readers (who are predominately female!). We love the powerful question it poses: “If you don’t trust me with my body, why should I trust you with my country?” There’s less than a month left to support the Obama…
Kristen Bell Joins Neutrogena Naturals for Water Conservation Campaign
Are you aware that your five-minute morning shower uses more water than the average person in a developing country uses for an entire day? Did you know that 780 million people lack access to clean water? That’s more than 2.5 times the United States population. If those stats didn’t make…
Adventures in Shoes with the Eco Friendly and the Fabulous: Coclico Covers All Our Bases
The Pepper Clavel. I expect a lot from my shoes; they need to look great (but unique, cool and as creative as the rest of my wardrobe). They must be made extremely well so that they last for years, and they must be comfortable. They should also be made from…

Raleigh Denim Featured in October Whole Living Magazine
Eco Chick first covered Raleigh Denim way back in 2009, and since then, the brand has grown in more ways than just business-wise (though they are going gangbusters in that department as well). They’ve recently opened an NYC storefront and have expanded their jeans-only line to include all sorts of…
Heroines for the Planet: Cheetah Conservation Fund Founder Dr. Laurie Marker
Photo by Frans Lanting. You could call her the Cheetah Whisperer. But Dr. Laurie Marker’s remarkable devotion to the study and conservation of endangered cheetahs extends beyond the striking animal. Dr. Marker is also helping to solve the most pressing issues facing people and our planet: poverty and energy among…
Audubon New York Young Members' "Save the Sound" Benefit: Thursday, October 11th
We at Eco Chick are huge fans of the Audubon Society; in fact, I grew up attending her local Audubon Society meetings — and the Society’s education, publications (the excellent Audubon Magazine) and activism is one of the reasons I do the work I do with this site. You might…
