Sometimes, it seems that the coffee cup has become an accessory. Now, there’s an eco-friendly version that is good for the environment! This one comes from ModCloth, but I’ve also seen these at my local Whole Foods, where they sell out fast.
Should you bamboo? May 4, 2008
Recently, I have heard a number of people question whether bamboo clothing is truly environmentally-friendly. This National Geographic Green Guide discussion does a great job of addressing this question from both perspectives.
In theory, bamboo is an environmentally-friendly fabric: it grows quickly without a lot of pesticides and water, and can regenerate itself. In practice, however, the processes for turning bamboo into clothing – particularly in large volumes – is less conducive to the environment. The article’s bottom line is that bamboo is still a better alternative to non-organic cotton and unnatural fibers.
No more catalog shopping March 25, 2008
Every once in a while, I receive a store catalog in the mail. Since I’m an avid online shopper, I try to get off mailing lists ASAP. However, it’s always a pain to find the time to call up companies to get off their mailing lists. That’s why I was really happy to find out that Catalog Choice offers a way to get off all of the mailing lists at once.
I heart recycling! February 20, 2008
I just came across a really cute take on the “I heart…” theme by Moniker Cloth. I don’t know whether the “I ‘heart’ recycling” tee is organic cotton (it’s definitely 100% cotton), but their “Save a plastic tree…” tee seems to be 100% organic cotton.
Cute weekend wear with a mission!
