  Other options

  I had not heard of Nau before the closing, but the after affect of the doors being closed has given me hope to believe that more organic companies can survive. As Texeme stated "Sustainable means: not able to make a profit and folding", green companies have had the large cost burden of being not only product eco-friendly, but also of employee friendly, which includes fair wages, fair working conditions, and energy efficient factories. As companies become more and more willing to take on these costs, it is our job as consumers to aid in their fight by buying these products, and being their marketers through word of mouth.

  Following in my own advice, everyone should check out a Madison, WI company Fair Indigo. :)On Eco-friendly outdoor-clothing company goes under posted 1 year, 6 months ago 6 Responses

  celebrity fad

  I am very excited about the recent trend in Hollywood of going green. Whether it is genuine, as I could imagine Kate Hudson being, or superficial like Paris Hilton carrying around a tote stating 'go green' as she rides in her limos, and spends more on material items than would be needed to stop hunger in the United States, this trend is still a great advertisement to get the masses thinking green.

  I am curious to see if this will remain in the news and the top of celebrities donations, or if it too will pass as other fads in the past. Either way, we must take advantage at present and use this marketing to inform the public about the certain destruction that will happen if our way of living does not drastically change.On Kate Hudson launches eco-friendly haircare line posted 1 year, 6 months ago 3 Responses

  And again missing the point

  Skipping the trivial topic of the models, the real issue here is the amazing step forward Target is taking on going green. Usually to find organic clothing one would have to look hard, and spend harder.

  Most organic clothing is aimed at the upper middle class and to the baby boomer age group. Bringing the younger generation into buying green is a way to open the doors for this generation to really make a difference, and then move into that upper middle class that will be able to afford living organic later in life.On Target launches eco-friendly line by Rogan Gregory posted 1 year, 6 months ago 7 Responses

  Intrigued

  In the past four months, after returning from a stint in Europe, I have become much more aware of the products I use and the affect they have on the environment. While attempting to slowly but surely make my life more green, I came across the issue of my love of manicures and pedicures.

  It is not as much about the final product as it is the relaxation and social interaction of going with a couple girls for a day of pampering. I realize going for a greener lifestyle should all but kick this habit, but I am wondering if there is any salons out there that are focused on Green products or greener ways of servicing. The Natural Nail Polish posted by estark is wonderful knowledge and I would love to see other such products.On A five-fingered review of less-toxic nail polishes posted 1 year, 6 months ago 12 Responses

  Fit to ride

  i think that this is a great post, and the bike to work day on May 15th is a wonderful way for employees and employers to bond outside of the workforce.

  Biking to work is going to become a much more prevalent means of commute as the price of gas continues to climb, but more importantly biking to work is just one more to better your ecological footprint. On Commute by bike, get lucky posted 1 year, 6 months ago 7 Responses
