"I swear to God I'm a Virgin"
So I came across Sworn Virgins about a year ago – a very LA brand line of eco-fashion. Not quite sure exactly what their production policy is, but it does mention that they use no sweatshop labor and it alludes to the fact that they may use lenpur (wood pulp).…
Hail to the Co-Op
Living in Vermont during my formative years provided me with a true education in what it means to be “green.” I had my first experience with a grease car, had my first friends who were eating almost entirely from their garden, and had my first exposure to the term co-op.…
