EDUN’s just marked a lot of things down 50-70% in their outlet section. (normally, I do think that EDUN is a little overpriced; these prices are MUCH more reasonable!)

I just have to give a quick shout-out and some love to one of my favorite eco-blogs: Ethical Style. Although they cover mostly eco-fashion and related subjects, they always manage to find obscure but poignant subjects to write about, and their analysis is spot-on. I nearly always feel compelled to comment on these posts, as I did today on two (I was catching up..):
“Skinny Bitch” no friend of Environmentalists, Manolo Blahnik
Shoppers in ’09: Too Broke to Buy Green? – now you guys KNOW how I feel about that subject LOL!
Ethical Style also produces an online “magazine” every month – which is also very good, but I really enjoy the blog more (and you can’t comment on the magazine articles).
I so enjoy reading Ethical Style – mostly for the irreverent style and totaly honesty of the writers (I can relate to that), and that they’re not afraid to discuss controversial issues. oh, and also for the fashion.
Do you have a favorite eco-blog? Please share, I love to read new stuff!!!

Once again, it’s time for another great giveaway from greengrechen, and this week, Tonic. (I am so excited about this one…)
This week, Tonic is giving away two limited edition Luella Bartley designed tees AND two tees from their Classic Collection to four lucky winners here at greengrechen.com!
Tonic is a multi-tasking powerhouse that conquers junk-mail, organizes events, and collaborates with hip designers to sell even hipper tees for good causes. Each of the tees available at the Tonic shop supports a specific cause. For example, the Luella Bartley “Robin” tee above supports Friends Of Paradis des Indiens, which helps provide shoes to up to 2,500 children in Haiti, and the green Tonic “Tree” tee also featured, supports American Forests, which plants trees in North America. Each tee is made from 70% bamboo, 30% organic cotton (which equals heaven in a tee-shirt) and is available in sizes up to XL.
Tonic has also recently launched a limited edition run of cotton canvas bags also designed by Luella Bartley, with designs that match her tees. The purchase of this particular bag (for $45), provides one pair of shoes to one child in Haiti through Friends of Paradis des Indiens:
Other organizations Tonic supports are:
Save Nature – the purchase of ONE tote will adopt 1/4 acre of an endangered coral reef in Micronesia
The Global Fund for Children – purchase of ONE tote provides ONE year of dental care to TWO children in Columbia
Alive And Kicking – the purchase of one tote provides ONE soccer ball to school children in Kenya
(check out the super-cool counter on the front page of the shop to see how many children have been educated in India, how many mosquito nets have been provided to families in Africa, and how many people have received a lifetime of clean water, thanks to PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME, who have purchased these tees & totes)
I can’t wait to pre-order my Tonic Robin Tote and hopefully purchase a few other tees and totes for gift-giving this holiday season. These truly are gifts that keep on giving – to the children who benefit from dental care and soccer balls, the endangered coral reef and its inhabitants, AND my lovely gift recipients…for only $45.

Honestly with all the fabulous eco-friendly boutiques online and off, there’s no excuse for NOT adapting your wardrobe to your earth-friendly lifestyle. That of course, does not mean throwing everything out and starting over (please don’t). It does mean that if you have anything that needs to be replaced, you should consider looking for choices in alternative fabrics like Organic Cotton, Soy, Tencel, Hemp, and Bamboo, which are getting easier to find.
A brand new entry to online eco-fashion, embodies, joins the ranks of so many other boutiques dedicated to sustainable design and environmentally-friendly practices. Embodies selects the designers they work with only after asking a series of questions like:
What fabrics are used in the clothing? Are they organic, sustainable, recycled or reclaimed? If so how?
Where are the items manufactured? Under what conditions?
What types of dyes are used in the clothing?
…the same questions I ask before buying…
Most of embodies designers are well known in the world of eco-fashion: Bahar Shapar, Ecoganik, Modaspia, Amenity, Stewart + Brown, and Organic by John Patrick, but you may not know of vegan shoe designer Form & Fauna, Tinc’s GORGEOUS hemp/bamboo smocks, or Love Heals jewelry -
