“There is no stigma any more of wearing hand-me-downs or shopping at Salvation Army or Goodwill”.
This is what Kathryn Finney, otherwise known as The Budget Fashionista said on the topic of recycling clother, from older kids to younger ones.
It is becoming more popular for parents to hand down the jacket (teen) Greg wore last year, to (younger) Peter who now can fit in it. This is a great eco friendly method to keep good clothing out

People who have cats like to make sure that they have somewhere safe and cosy to sleep, sometimes this could mean buying something that has been made from plastic. But now there are more eco friendly ideas for the cat to have a nap in.
This cat basket has been made from banana leaves, which have been woven into a basket that comes in two parts, the base and the actual basket itself. There is no doubt that any cat would love to sleep in there, wh

A clever idea has surfaced in which green renters in the Portland, Oregon area get matched (or should i say hooked up) with owners and landlords of green buildings.
At Green Renter you are able to peruse from available eco-friendly single family homes, buildings, condos, apartments, town homes, and office buildings in the Portland area.
Buildings included need not be LEED certified, but they must include at least one feature in any of seven key

When we think of mobile living, this would normally be something like a trailer van, or even something less grand. However, some people have other ideas on how to live the eco life and this XO Mobile Structure is certainly grand.

Just by looking around the shopping mall it is clear that stationary is a big business, but how many of these stationary products are eco friendly? It is hard to know, because there is a lot of work and materials going into the production of modern stationary.

However, if you purposely look for eco friendly stationary then businesses like Greener Grass Notes are for you. They produce a range of quality eco friendly stationary that can even be p

I am a HUGE Coldplay fan! I have all their albums, plus their music reminds me of my youngest brother who is also a fan. It was interesting and kinda funny to read that Coldplay makes their own clothing, and that they are all into SEWING.
These guys are the epitome of cool and they like to sew in their rooms while on tour? That is revelatory to say the least. Having said that, it is kinda neat to learn that the band members and front lead singer

This is a really great bag that is made from recycled soda bottles and has enough solar power to charge up a lap top, which is totally cool by anyone’s standards. However, there is one slight feature that a lot of people are not going to be too happy with; it will cost you around $600!

Shoes are a delicate matter when it comes to being eco friendly. As there are numerous components that go into producing a shoe, making it difficult for customers to know what the pair of shoes that they are looking at is made from.

However, there are some makers who go out of their way to make sure that the entire shoe is totally eco friendly. This is really hard to do, so in fact there may be a limited amount of chemicals within the makeup of

Clothing has come a long way when it comes to eco friendly or ethical design, there was a time when this title would have meant woolly jumpers and jeans with a load of whole it them, but it is all different now as designers begin to add fair-trade, ethical and organic materials into their designs.

Well not exactly, a green wedding as such, but a white wedding dress which is eco friendly. There must be so many choices to make when choosing a wedding dress, but do the materials and how the dress has been made, ever come into the equation?

Well it should because an eco friendly wedding dress does not have to be made of banana palms to be green, as this selection from Morgan Boszilkov are everything that a green girl could ever want.

Some insects are pests and can be quite annoying if not distressing for some people, but wouldn’t it be great if there were a better way of disposing of them? Well there is now with the Pheromone based moth traps from Grass Root Store.

These traps entice moths into the tent shaped box, which has been laced with the scent of other moths, preferably the opposite sex; the moths cannot resist and eventually find that they are trapped inside. No c

With the price of fuel going up all of the time, it seems that the electric bike is becoming one of the world’s hot properties. Amazon the online sales store has reported that sales of electric bikes have increased by six thousand per cent this year alone.
In fact there were over ten thousand electric bikes sold during 2007, which is staggering and just goes to prove that these bikes although fairly expensive, they start at around $1,500 the e

I love this sexy side tie organic cotton tank set by eco designer Clare Bare. It is always nice to find a vintage set that is also eco friendly.
This adorable vintage fabric set features an adjustable side tie top and bloomer style bottoms. The top is loose fitting with organic cotton twill ties, and thrifted white lace along the bottom edge. The bottoms have lace along the bottom edge of the hips. The fabric is vintage cotton, and the bottoms a

With the new school term nearly upon us and so, it is only natural that some kids are going to want to have an eco friendly start to the school year. One way that this can be done is by providing them with some eco friendly school equipment; these are essential supplies so why can’t they be green.
