Zem will be making recommendations for what you can do to make your holidays green as part of NBC’s Green Week. We are glad to be a little part of it!

For more information on making your holidays green, check out our 2008 Holiday Gift Guide.

Zem will be revealing her tips for celebrating a green Thanksgiving holiday. Feel free to email us questions you’d like her to answer or, better yet, call in and chat live with Zem. Join us at KFOG 104.5 or listen here anytime today! You can even TIVO it.

Are your wrists feeling a little bit out of the loop lately? Ecofabulous has the 411 on sustainable jewelry and the news keeps getting better and better. How cute are theses hand-woven telephone wire bracelets from Original Women?

Made entirely from telephone wire by Zulu basket weavers, the beautiful texture of the weave and the graphic patterns will appeal to teenagers and grandmothers alike. You can select from copper, black, silver, brown and copper zebra, or the black and white zebra. Since the bracelets are made by hand, each piece is unique. And when you buy the bracelets, which retail for $35, from Original Women, you’ll be helping female artisans earn a living and receive basic education, health education, and HIV/AIDS support. What a deal!

If retro is the way you roll (which is now au current), rock these slim fit jeans from J Brand Green Label.

Skinny to the knee with a bell-bottom and a feminine waistband, the Love Story in Woodstock jeans recall the 70’s but with a modern flair. Made of 100 percent organic cotton with a touch of Lycra for just enough stretch but not too much, the low rise jeans retail for $227.

Zem will be sporting hers when she presents holiday ideas on TV today: we’ll let you know when and where to tune in within an hour!

Ditching plastic bags is an honorable goal but if you want to lift your eco efforts to the next level, using totes made from organic cotton is the way to go. While we applaud anyone who forgoes plastic in favor of a reusable tote, many of the bags that tout themselves as eco-friendly aren’t really green.

SKN makes bags that fit the bill, ecologically speaking, and the company is currently offering ecofabulous readers a fabulous deal on its 100 percent organic cotton – and super cute – totes. The bags, which measure 12″ wide, 16″ high and 6″ deep and hold up to 40 pounds, are large enough to carry dinner home from the market and stylish enough that you can be eco on the sly if you so desire.

The bags retail for $34.95 but by typing in the promotional code “happy holidays,” ecofabulous readers will save 20 percent through Dec. 1^st!

Here are today’s picks for what’s wow in green.  Enjoy!

Whether you prefer red or white, there’s an option in green.

Indiana’s got a plan, a green plan.

Times Square is getting an eco-friendly billboard!

An eco-entrepreneur in Arizona inspires locals.

With Hollywood starlets trying to pucker up like Angelina Jolie but instead usually ending up looking like Rocky Balboa after a fight, ecofab girls steer clear of collagen and such. So what is the best way to get your pout on? Jane Iredale’s Just Kissed Lip Plumper is a non-invasive solution to creating a fuller bouche. The plumper goes to work right away with special peptides, giving the appearance of a bigger kisser by promoting collagen production.

Zem loves Tokyo, a sheer natural pink, but all of the colors are eye catching. And the ginger root extract along with the peppermint and spearmint oil makes lips tingly and moist. It even creates a fresher feeling. In five colors, each named after a world famous city, these lipsticks will turn any frown upside down.

In partnership with Pitt, Kiehl’s just introduced its first Cradle to Cradle Certified product. The delicately scented liquid body cleanser, is formulated without parabens, SLS or dyes and is packaged in a 100 percent post consumer recycled bottle.

All proceeds from the Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser will support the work of JPF Eco Systems, a charitable organization created by Kiehl’s and Brad Pitt with the goal of maximizing awareness of environmental sustainability.

Think of it as six degrees of separation in the shower. You use the Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser… Brad Pit uses it too…When it comes down to it, you may as well be showering together. The natural fragrance is so light that men and women can share it. Plus, it would save water after all.

Carrying around extra cargo just got appealing!

Cargo Cosmetics’s PlantLove Botanical Lipstick is planted inside a box made of paper embedded with real flower seeds, which can be used in your garden or flower pot. Inside the box, you’ll find a tube made entirely out of corn. In the tube is lip-loving lipstick infused with Orchid Complex and meadowfoam seed oil as well as jojoba and shea butter.

Add to that the fact that Cargo will donate $2 from the sale of every $20 tube to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and you’ll want to plant a big, bright kiss on everyone you meet.

While Cargo has done a great job of creating eco-friendly packaging, unfortunately these lipsticks still contain parabens. We applaud the company for its efforts but wish that the product inside the tube was as green as the tube itself.
