The Hippy Gourmet
Click above to see the Hippy Gourmet make a vegan sushi roll Even though I don’t seem to have much time to cook, I somehow have enough time to watch other people cook, and the Hippy Gourmet (PBS, check local listings for airtimes) is right up my alley. Chef Bruce…
Daryl Hannah's Work is True Beauty
Though this isn’t strictly an environmental story, it does involve one very eco-savvy movie star, Daryl Hannah, and it is about women’s rights, so I figured it deserved a space on Eco Chick. And if you haven’t checked out dhLoveLife, Hannah’s awesome blog (and videos that will make you cry)…
Bear Fights Man for Salmon
I first saw this video in Environmental Conservation class at college. The topic: Why Are We Always at War with Wildlife? Funny as hell.
GRRRR….een Fashion Shoot
Check out Summer Rayne’s HOTT new video for Behind the Label, her eco-fashion editorial for Lucire Magazine. Why can’t we get eco-fashion photography like this in a US-based magazine? (FYI, Not Safe For Work)

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…
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…
Martha Stewart's a Treehugger!
Martha Stewart used to live less than a mile from me in Westport, CT, where she first got her start as a caterer. I’ve followed her for years, and I have to admit I’m a fan. Whenever she does anything green, I get all excited, because I know lots…
Ecohood
Check out the Ecohood vlog that’s got all kinds of enviro-videos, from interviews with activists like Vandana Shiva, to clips of David Attenborough explaining climate change.
