Oh Danny Boy An interview with green-style guru Danny Seo	Amanda Griscom	21 Sep 2004	Main Dish
If Martha Stewart really is having a new-age awakening as she prepares to enter the clink (she just bought Body & Soul Magazine and rumor has it she intends to give her lifestyle empire a hint, at least, of green), she might want to take notes from one competitor who, at the tender age of 27, is already burnishing his reputation as America's reigning environmental lifestyle expert. That would be Danny ...

The Environmentalist's New Clothes Advice on natural fabrics vs. polyester	Umbra Fisk	12 Jul 2004	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, I've never appreciated human-made fabrics -- polyester and its cousins invariably feel less comfortable to me than cotton or wool. Until recently, I thought this personal preference also had the happy side effect of making me a greener clothes shopper, since producing natural fibers doesn't involve long chains of polymers. A friend recently claimed otherwise, telling me that the growt ...

Sean Schmidt, Sustainable Style Foundation		07 Nov 2003	Dispatches
Sean Schmidt is cofounder and executive director of the Sustainable Style Foundation. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Friday, 07 Nov 2003 LOS ANGELES, Calif. Rebecca and I got going around 10:00 a.m. yesterday with a trip to the Modernica Props warehouse near downtown L.A. I must tell you, being a huge fan of vintage modern style furnishings, I was in heaven. Modernica, the company, reproduces a lot of the amazing furniture designs from the '50s through the ...

Sean Schmidt, Sustainable Style Foundation		06 Nov 2003	Dispatches
Sean Schmidt is cofounder and executive director of the Sustainable Style Foundation. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Thursday, 06 Nov 2003 LOS ANGELES, Calif. I don't know how Rebecca does it. Yesterday I tackled the fullest to-do list I've had in a long time, and by the end of it all, I was pretty tuckered out. With her company, les Egoistes, which specializes in creative services (event production, styling, personal shopping, etc.), she does this all the ...

Sean Schmidt, Sustainable Style Foundation		05 Nov 2003	Dispatches
Sean Schmidt is cofounder and executive director of the Sustainable Style Foundation. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Wednesday, 05 Nov 2003 LOS ANGELES, Calif. As expected, yesterday got a bit crazy right before Rebecca and I took off for L.A. The fun started as Collin and I tried to get a computer up and running in our office for him to work on. We have a great donated computer, but it's missing a lot of the key things it needs to be fully functional. For ...

Sean Schmidt, Sustainable Style Foundation		04 Nov 2003	Dispatches
Sean Schmidt is cofounder and executive director of the Sustainable Style Foundation. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Tuesday, 04 Nov 2003 SEATTLE, Wash. The commute into work this morning was miserable! Seemed like every road in to Seattle was backed up, but that's Seattle traffic for you. Normally I'd take my Vespa, but since I'm running last-minute errands for our upcoming L.A. trip, I needed my minivan (lovingly named "Maggie"). Yesterday ...

Clothes Call On clothing	Umbra Fisk	30 Jul 2002	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, My nephew says that new clothes and other apparel that come from foreign countries are treated with toxic chemicals to avoid various types of fungal or insect contamination, and upon arriving at the loading dock of your favorite wanker-mart, they are ripe to toxify the air, your skin, your eyes. He worked on such a dock and had to wear a respirator and other protective devices to avoid dangerous levels of exposure to the stuff. So I ...
