Green Girls are Doin' it for Themselves!

At long last I am finally inspired. I was on http://www.treehugger.com/ when I came across a new clothing line Sublet which was launched just a week ago. I love the beauty and simplicity of the clothing. Made domestically in New York, with bamboo and organic cotton fabric. The two female designers work very hard to minimize their footprint by biking, using canvas totes and composting. It's amazing the power of a Single Green Female!

These are a Few of my Favorite Green Things!

I love that part in the Sound of Music and she was being totally green.....She recycled the curtains and turned them into play clothes, bloody brilliant!

I have finally gone over my Domino magazine with a fine toothed comb and have made a list of my favorite green things: The One hundred percent recycled aluminum foil from http://www.greenfeet.com/ they also have unbleached wax paper and plastic wrap which is PVC free. The solar flashlight from http://www.bogolight.com/, they are great because when you purchase one another goes to a relief group which helps light the way for African children and families to read at night (I must have one). Toothbrush and razor from http://recycline.com/. It is made from 100% recycled plastic with at least 65% Stonyfield farm yogurt cups. The Low flow shower head from http://www.americanstandard-us.com/, it uses 40% less water and is very stylish. Nail polish and remover from http://www.acquarellapolish.com/ that is free of formaldehyde, phthalates, toluene or other petrochemical solvents. Organic cotton fabric from http://www.modgreenpod.com/, it's silk screened with water based non-toxic ink. I love the Wee Jubilee print, I want it for my daughter's room!

Green Reeds! The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw

The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw: One Woman's Fight to Save the Worlds Most Beautiful Bird (phew! that's a long title) by Bruce Barcott. I have decided this week to spice things up and instead of featuring a book that tells you how to live green, I have chosen an exciting fiction novel with intrigue and adventure. Our main character Sharon Matola is a motocycle riding, lion-taming, monkey smuggling, Air force Veteran is determined to stop the building of a Dam in Western Belize. Fighting corrupt local officials with the Natural Resource Defense Counsel by her side. The author takes the reader on a journey with dramatic legal proceedings, the environmental downside of dams and how and why animals go extinct. For a full review of this book check out http://www.nytimes.com/. I always love a good read especially when the hero is female. It just takes a Single Green Female!

The product range consists of moisturizers, cleansers toner and three elixirs. It is the ultimate in pampering and gives your skin all the natural essentials it deserves. You can find it at http://www.sephora.com/.

Tweenie Greenie!

Greeny Todd the demon seamstress of fleet street has struck again. My daughter has taken up snowboarding so I bought her all this gear over the christmas holiday's. I love Sporting Life but sometimes they are a bit pricey ( I know! this coming from the girl who wants a pair of Stella McCartney shoes). They have these sorta turtleneck scarfs made from fleece which are more convienent that a long scarf that could get in the way. I rememberd in our big basket of winter scarfs, hats and mitts there was this unsightly black fleece scarf and my daughter had just complained about her favorite hat not fitting anymore. The hat is important because it has cute crochet flowers on it. Well I got out my handy scissors and the sewing machine and went to work. It took about ten minutes and Voila! a stylish snowboarding scarf.
