Ecorations Introduces Reusable Holiday Gift Tote and Santa Sacks

Brian Yalung — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:38:12 +0000

Christmas is months away but this early we are seeing a couple of potential solutions in preparation for the holidays. Christmas parties and people playing Santa are sure to be rampant once again and rather than choose any plain bag or sack for use, Ecorations has these Tote and 100% organic cotton Santa Sacks.

Plastic garbage bags be gone. Ecorations’ new 100% organic cotton Santa Sack ($18.50) is a more attractive and eco-friendly way to cart gifts to and fro. Like a beloved stocking, it is destined to become a treasured seasonal item incorporated into your Christmastime traditions.
Create a new, “green” tradition. The reversible tote ($12.99), offered in two decorative motifs, is the eco-chic answer to the standard disposable gift bag. Filled with wine and other goodies, and toted to a holiday party, it’s the gift that keeps giving: Your host can save it, reuse it or–if you’re lucky–give it back to you.

These are some great things to consider especially if you want to prepare early for your roster of activities this year’s Holidays.

But now the choice is so great and the amount of stores that are stocking this type of bedding that the prices have now come down the more reasonable levels which means being eco friendly does not necessarily have to break the bank and the designs are so great too.

Cleaning without chemicals

David Allen — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 13:00:02 +0000

Doing the clothes wash can hardly be classified as an eco friendly practice, but obviously this sort of thing needs to go on, otherwise we would be going around with some really bad smelling clothes and then everyone would be complaining.

But there are alternatives, eco friendly ways of removing stains not just cleaning, these tips can work for all manner of stains, there is a complete list on the EcoStudio page, but here is an example:

Chewing gum - Place the article in a plastic bag, then put it in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours. Scrape off the hardened gum with a knife. Sponge with eucalyptus oil to remove all traces of the gum.

Perry Ellis Coping up with “Green-ness”

Brian Yalung — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 04:06:11 +0000

Most experts would declare today that going green has its advantages and disadvantages. Among the advantages would be of course a healthier way of living and making it more comfortable and relieving to live in a world that has been slowly becoming a bad place to exist in. As for disadvantages, it is pointed more towards the issue of cost and income.

It is indeed hard to get the proper resources while working on a strict budget. Chances are, the high prices we see in the local stores are signs that going green may be expensive but yet recommended.

Perry Ellis for one has been trying to balance the cost of production but the materials used are simply not cost-friendly. However, in return, people can expect green quality products in the process, making it more ideal for them to live in and enjoying comfortable products from the famous fashion clothing manufacturer.

Why is this so? Well it can all be whittled down to the fact that if a person is a cheapskate, he deserves living in a trash bin to which the world has become if the whole green effort will be overlooked. But the price to pay for healthy living does not come cheap.

And most of all, the actual beneficiaries will be the ones trying to survive a world of unhealthy proportions. So the price to pay may be stiff but should be considered more of as a health investment rather than additional expenses.

Pizza Fusion, Organic and Eco Friendly Pizzeria

Missy — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 01:55:48 +0000

Last month i profiled an eco-friendly pizzeria which had delivery drivers in electric bikes called Galactic Pizza. Today i want to tell you about Pizza Fusion.

Pizza Fusion, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has been in operation since 2006. This organic pizza franchise is a model of eco-friendliness in both their food products and their business activities. Started up by two college buds, their aim is create a business that is both profitable and socially responsible. This goal has led them to the Pizza Fusion concept, an eatery where the following initiatives take place:

Delivering their food in company owned hybrid vehicles
Powering their stores, corporate office and website 100% with renewable wind energy
Recycling and giving customers discounts for bringing back their pizza boxes to recycle them
Using only eco-friendly cleaners to sanitize all their stores
Using 100% post consumer recycled paper in all their collateral
Printing their collateral with soy inks
Designing and constructing their stores with renewable, reusable, and
recycled products according to the LEED construction rating system.
Serving their food in biodegradable containers made
from 100% corn starch which are designed to decompose in landfills in 30
days
Providing staff with eco-apparel made from 100% organic cotton
Hosting free environmentally based classes for kids every third Thursday of the month
that educates on the importance of eating organic and recycling
Donating money to local environmental causes

I only wish their was a Pizza Fusion in my town, let’s just say that as a vegetarian, i would patronize alot. I love their concept, their organic ingredients list, their hip and groovy restaurant look, and most of all that they opted to create a socially responsible business. Beautiful.

Green is The New Black Tee

Missy — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 01:25:03 +0000

Guess where i found this gem of a tee? Well, i was perusing the Sunday paper last nite (yes, last nite) and on the front cover of the weekly ad insert for JC Penney, was this super cute and earth-friendly tee.

The short-sleeve (aimed and sized for juniors) tee reads “Green is the New Black” and is made of 100% cotton. JC Penney will donate $1.00 of the purchase of these tees to the World WildLife Fund.

This week the eco-friendly tee is on sale for $11.99, normally it retails for a cool $20.

It is great to see major mainstream shops like JC Penny getting in on the green action, and trying to raise awareness and visibility for the environmental movement with the younger generation.

Eco Friendly Shoe, from Simple

Missy — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 00:52:12 +0000

I am a big fan of the eco-friendly line of shoes from the Simple brand, almost all of their shoe styles are truly unique, fresh, and hip. They also make their shoes with a combination of recycled and or sustainable materials.

The lovely sandal shoe pictured above is made from jute, cotton canvas, car tire outsole, and a bamboo lining. I like the green and yellow flowery design print and the fact that it is lace-free, i hate laces.

This one i found at PiperLime, a new shoe division from the Gap, fashion group company.

Hemp Cotton Jasmine Keyhole Dress

Missy — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 04:34:01 +0000

Wanna be the lady in red? Then be the lady in red with hemp. Hemp is a fiber that is softer than cotton and more durable. This sexy little red dress is made with 100% Hemp Cotton and features a bias cut keyhole design.

The dress comes in many colors, including black, green, blue, aqua, brown, light blue, and natural white.

It is relatively inexpensive at $69 and the kicker part about this dress, is that with every purchase you get to choose between 7 different envrionmental organizations that plant a tree on your behalf for free. Love it.

Soaring Birds Organic Tee

Missy — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 01:01:09 +0000

Brown and blue is a color combination that is very hip and sexy, this organic tee from Soul-Flower sports those colors and is great for a casual nite about town.

Printed across the shirt, are “birds soaring across the sky” and it features feminine poufy sleeves. I love that detail, as it makes it just abit dressier than a regular tee.

The shirt is made from 100% Organic Cotton and comes in Junior sizes. Get all the juicy details at Soul-Flower.

It’s a wrap

David Allen — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 19:00:25 +0000

Wrapping a present is a nice touch, but when you think of special occasions like xmas, birthdays and so on, the amount of wrapping paper used is just enormous and at the end of the day, gets ripped up and thrown away, which is not very nice and very wasteful.

Jenny Wren Paperie shows how an old Japanese art of Furoshiki can really make a present look special, but without wrapping paper, it uses 100% cotton wraps, but there is a recycling opportunity here, why not use your old scarf’s or other fabrics?

Western Influenced Organic Fiber Shirt

Missy — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 02:33:56 +0000

From eco-friendly retailer Nau, comes this top for the ladies that is heavily western influenced. Almost cowgirl like but modern and hipper. I especially like the burgundy/ wine color.

Appropriately called The Giddy Up Shirt, it comes with short sleeves, so is still good for summer wear and is made from 100% Organic Cotton.

Nau, based in Oregon, has great sustainable-fabric tops and bottoms for both men and women. Alot of their pieces aim for the sporty look, and they do it with flair.

Visit Nau to see more of their organic cotton collection.

Turn old Tee’s into new quilts

David Allen — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:00:22 +0000

When you get tired of all those old tee’s that are hanging around just taking up space, why not consider getting them turned into a nice new quilt, baby blanket or pillow case. It just depends on how many tee’s you are looking to recycle.

All you do is gather them all together, wash them, and send them off. A while later they will be returned as your desired item. It will take around 25 tee’s to make a full size quilt.

Prices start at $70 for the pillowcase and rise to $500 for the king size quilt and it take around eight to ten weeks make.
