The real cost of Christmas
What does christmas really cost us? I ask my family not to buy me Christmas gifts. In the beginning it was to make a stance against Christmas saying “I’m not Christian, so it’s not my holiday and these traditions are silly.” But as I grow older and care less and…
ECO LQ (Lifestyle Quotient): What life stage were you the "Most Eco"?
It’s often difficult to keep up with the Jonses on all this “Good Green Citizen” stuff. For the majority of us out there, we can’t possibly give all we got, but we can do things in our everyday life to make a difference. Where we are in our life, how…
Anthropologie Does a Little Green
Anthropologie is one of my favorites stores, but one I haven’t been shopping at as much lately, now that so many green fashion designers have such gorgeous stuff out there. Gone are the days when ecofashion meant organic cotton yoga pants with a stripe down the side. (While I love…
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…
Wildlife Works
I’m so beyond broke, but the next time I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket, I know where I’m going to go shopping: Wildlife Works. Not only is their stuff ridiculously adorable and totally my style, but everything is made from environmentally-friendly materials (mostly organic cotton). AND…
Honey, can you turn your shirt off?
I was hanging out over the Dorfman’s house when a photographer friend’s girlfriend dropped by to show us the coolest thing….EVER! L.E.D. designed shades for the home. Again, I’m not going domestic on you, but they were pretty fabulous. Now Phillips has cashed in on the deal. Their new Lumalive…
Adorable, Musical and Hearts the Earth
The Curious George soundtrack was recently released, and Jack Johnson sings all of the songs on the movie’s soundtrack. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I noticed this awesome song while I was checking it out. It’s called the 3R’s. Three thats the magic number yes it is, its a…
POMED Party Pics!
The POMED (Protect Our Mother Earth’s Daughters) party at Earth in NYC was a success! Brian Howard of E/The Environmental Magazine and Lisabeth Weber of fundraisingpins.com. Yours truly with pink dress. Danelle Brown of Verte (the organizer of the event) with speakers from Kids with Cameras, Architecture for Humanity, and…
Clearwater Great Hudson River Revival
I had the best time at the Hudson River Clearwater Revival this weekend! It is one of the oldest environmental summer festivals in the country (over 35 years!) and still going strong! In fact I think there were more people this year than I’ve seen in awhile. I attended this gathering as a kid…
Serious Style to Save You
There’s a gorgeous new e-zine out of foggy ‘ole England! (I swear the Brits are way ahead of us when it comes to making green look great.) Style Will Save Us comes from some of the same fine folks that brought us Ergo Living, a fabulous (but short-lived) print eco magazine. …
