O for All

Date: June 30, 2009 | Category: Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Stores & Resources

You’re all for eating organic, but sometimes the weekly trip to the farmer’s market isn’t a reality for your schedule, or your pocketbook. Thankfully, the organic food movement has come leaps and bounds in the past few years and now O Organics (found in your local Safeway, Vons, and other grocer chains) has slowly climbed to include over 300 certified organic products - at prices you can afford.

Bikinis and Smoked Salmon

Date: June 27, 2009 | Category: Fashion, Women

Nova Scotia is not known for its bikinis (more like hockey gear and lox), but this LULU suit is Canadian born and bred… and just as sexy as it is smart (shouldn’t everything on your body be sexy and smart?). From the cool “love think eco chic” brand deux fm, comes the LULU. It is made up of quality recycled linen/denim and lined with a soft soy/organic cotton jersey blend. Deux fm spent two years conjuring up the perfect bikini style, so this design is as thoughtfully executed as is its ethical IQ. And feel free to sport your suit at a hockey game, just remember to wear your protective gear - or at least cover up with a chic organic cotton tee, like this clock screen print from Deux fm.

Let’s Talk Trash

Date: June 24, 2009 | Category: Events, Lifestyle

Educational resources are few and far between these days, but thanks to Trash for Teaching (a Los Angeles-based non-profit), students and teachers are getting truckloads of materials cast-off from the manufacturing process to use in the classroom. By advocating “education and environmentalism through creative use” the organization has diverted over 250,000 lbs. of material from local landfills, serving over 150,00 local children through T4T materials-driven programs!

If you’re in the LA area, come out to support and celebrate T4T’s work with the ecofabulous team and Alter Eco’s Darren Moore this Thursday from 6-9pm in Culver City.

Date: June 23, 2009 | Category: Events, Featured, Home Furnishings, Lifestyle, Stores & Resources

Careening down the palm-lined streets of Los Angeles, visual distractions abound, mainly in the form of billboards advertising everything from premium liqueurs to summer blockbusters. Sadly, these oversized vinyl creations meet an end that is often far from sustainable, creating bundles of waste whose final destination is the local landfill. (more…)
