Kiwi & Pink & Business Week, Oh My!
The Green is spreading! First up is Kiwi– maybe those with kids have already heard of this great magazine centered around healthy and green living for parents (it seems to have been out for about 6 months now), but I just came across my first issue. Kiwi is super-informative, with…
Portovert Debuts
Back in the beginning of December, I mentioned that a new online-only wedding magazine would be debuting in January. Well, Portovert is up and running, and it looks like they have some great content going on in their premiere issue! If you are getting married, or know someone who is,…
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)…
The Hand that Rocks the Gorilla's Cradle
When do we humans go too far? Today it was reported that an experiment was conducted and concluded in which a southwest England zoo had given fertility drugs to a western lowland gorilla. I find myself asking the question, why should people be allowed to give animals fertility drugs? If…
Tilting at Windmills
Should women’s bodies be used to ‘sell’ environmentalism? Lots of folks have been discussing the Ecobabes calendar lately, and though I think the photos in the calendar are pretty tasteful (as I think the picture above, of model Betcee May is), and I certainly believe in celebrating women in the…
Electric Cars ARE for Girls!

Please sponsor me in supporting these important causes by coming to the fundraising party. The sounds will be…
Green Girls Gone Global
Have you all seen Green Girls Gone Global?? It’s another all-chick-all-the-time Eco Blog. I’m so excited to see women jumping into the blogosphere with all their various female voices. They have some great posts up now, check them out!
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…
Blogging and Feminism Panel
The Panel on Blogging and Feminism in NYC was really fantastic! I didn’t make it to the EO Wilson talk, but I know Starre did! So she’ll have more on that I’m sure. [Picture originally uploaded by Liz] Liz, who does regular blogging here, did some live blogging for the…
