Beautiful piece of art by @rickfrausto. Thank you for your work #martinlutherkingjr #heroes #leaders #leadership #art
Help animals that survived the Australian #bushfires stay alive! “The New South Wales government commissioned the service titled ‘Operation Rock Wallaby’ which aims to feed the state’s colonies of brush-tailed rock wallabies and help the state’s population of marsupials survive. Matt keane, NSW environment minister, said ‘The wallabies typically survive the fire itself, but are then left stranded with limited natural food as the fire takes out the vegetation around their rocky habitat.’ In addition, Animals Australia has been hard at work using aircraft to transport food supplies for wildlife that are burnt and injured from the fires in Victoria. The charity has been using donations from the public to lease small planes, which they’ve filled with bags of grain and pellets to give out to wildlife in the region through ‘Vets for Compassion’. Animals Australia spokeswoman Lyn White said they’re trying to ensure the surviving wildlife doesn’t die from lack of food.” You can give at @animalsaustralia to help #wallabies and other animals stay fed until their ecosystem recovers. #australianbushfires #australia #wildfires #helpanimals
It’s #winter, which means skin needs a little extra #TLC. I’m a big fan if #facemasks, and while I often make my own (my very fave is the inside if a mango peel slathered all over the face, let dry, rinse off—a natural, gentle fruit acid peel!) I also adore @lushcosmetics fresh masks. They live in the refrigerator at the Lush stores—and that’s where you should keep them at home too, because the ingredients are THAT fresh. My very fave is Brazened Honey which is like some crazy magic, but this Rosy Cheeks (rose, kaolin clay) is very sweet and soothing. #recommend!! —Eco-Chick editor Starre #lushcosmetics #mask #skintreat #cleanbeauty #healthybeauty #winterskincare
One way to keep your house cooler (and save energy & money & CO2) is by wearing #wool baselayers. My tank top is by @ramblerswayfarm and the leggings are @woolxwool — soft, stretchy, and you don’t even need to wash them; just pop them in the freezer overnight to kill all the bacteria that cause smells! Yes, for real. I do wash these in cold water every few weeks but mostly just use the cold freezer air! Of course these layers are also great for #winter #trailrunning and #hiking adventures too! No, these are not vegan but both these companies promise no mulesing on the sheep they take wool from, and wool is #biodegradable, breathes well, and doesn’t shed microfibers. —Starre, Eco-Chick Editor. #baselayers #wool #winterwarm #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion
Its winter in the Northern hemisphere! Even if its chilly, layer up and #getoutside! Enjoy some light and fresh air and notice all the subtleties of the season; tiny red berries perking through greenery, leaf buds in wait, tones of brown & grey. Its nature’s #neutrals time. #winterwonderful #winter #hike #trailrun #naturalpatterns
From Eco-Chick’s editor: Back when I was a #fashion reporter in #nyc 😎This show was outdoors on the #les. I covered New York Fashion Week from an #ethical and #sustainablefashion lens from 2006-2015 and still get to attend shows if I’m in NY(and I covered Fashion weeks in London, LA and Vancouver at various times). I have even styled models for shows and ran one of my own a few years back. For those who have met me recently much of this might be a surprise! My interest in #fashion comes directly from my family (both sides) who are very clothes conscious in various ways; my grandma was an excellent seamstress and made most of my clothes growing up (she let me pick fabrics and patterns and LOTS of color has been a thing since I can remember). My father was in advertising and grew up in NYC (and is v tall and looks amaxing in everything) and my mother and her sister were alll about color and pattern and having fun w/clothes. I was ibsessed with #thriftstorefinds starting at age 16; I thought most of what people in my HS wore was boring and conformist and since I wasnt much liked for my atheism/vegetarianism/disinterest in football I thought fuck it, I’ll wear whatever I want! Cue me in 50s gowns + oversized cardigans + docs (would wear again!!). As an ardent environmentalist from a young age, as soon as I learned about waste in the #fashionindustry I started working to change that by championing #sustainabledesign & designers who used ethical materials. I still LOVE fashion & design; I often fall asleep putting together outfits in my mind; the weirder the better!! #fashionshow #nyfw #ethicalfashion #fashiondesign
#sustainablefashion share from our Editor Starre, wearing an #aceandjig Rara Midi skirt in the new doublecloth fabric constellation (as a dress!) topped with a castle-fabric Etta blouse also from @aceandjig via @beklinawoman. Belt is a #vintage find. The holidays are a great time to wear your #ecofashion and talk it up! #fashion #sustainablestyle #ethicalfashion

Love this! Repost via @monicarosquillas: Living sustainably doesn’t mean I live a life of deprivation. Just today I got back from traveling locally, which means no planes were taken, but I got to see a beautiful seaside town. I’m wearing an outfit I like that also happens to be made up of second hand pieces and a 6 year old coat. I ate very well, especially so because it was a plant based meal made with sustainably grown food. And I didn’t buy anything because I didn’t feel the need to. The point is, we can enjoy life without destroying it. A sustainable life doesn’t have to be a life of sacrifices and deprivation, it’s only that if that’s how you see it. In fact, sustainable living ensures we’re NOT depriving ourselves and other beings from the most important thing there is: a habitable, healthy planet. #climatecrisis
