For most of us, popcorn is an iconic treat, reminding us of movie theaters and greasy, salt-soaked fingers. With all the fun of childhood, 479 Popcorn is an organic treat for the whole family, but make no mistake – this isn’t the regular butter-and-salt basic you grew up on. These tasty little kernels have risen (or popped, if you will) to a whole new level. (more…)
Change is at Hand

The concept of “disposable” items is one that we try to regularly offer alternatives to here at ecofabulous. As we all know very well by now, there is no “away” and the fact that as consumers, we continue to offer a demand for one-time use goods, is something that we need to take responsibility for – change the demand (give them no demand!) and the market will shift accordingly. That’s why we were so excited to meet with the founders of PeopleTowels at this year’s Opportunity Green conference, to get a first glance at the new stylish, reusable towels. (more…)

Ever since Jack Johnson turned “reduce, reuse, recycle” into something you hum on your drive into work or school, people have been rethinking the notion of trash…and some more than others. At this year’s Dwell on Design, the showhouse collaboration between eBay, ecofabulous, and Reclaimed Space, produced a 400 square foot cabin designed using high quality vintage, repurposed, and restyled items found on eBay and other local antique stores, and was sold on the online auction site for $75,000, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity LA.
Both ecofabulous founder, Zem Joaquin, and eBay Green Team’s Annie Lescroart sat down at the event to field some questions from visitors of the showhouse about the innovative project, emerging business and consumer trends surrounding vintage and reclaimed materials and ecofabulous’ innovative and stylish design.

You may not have considered yourself the D.I.Y. type – you don’t knit, sew, or collage, and you certainly haven’t ever tried to brew your own beer. But with the sodastream (a fantastic home carbonation system), you’ll be crafting your own sparkling water in no time! (more…)
