IT'S A GREEN THEORY...
The designers behind Theory clothing have greened up their act with the Theory Organic Capsule collection for summer and it’s on sale now at www.barneys.com! The eco fashion collection includes dresses, knits, shorts, jackets and a fabulous trench coat (left), that are all in keeping with the effortlessly sexy style and fabulous fit for which Theory is known.
The pieces are made from certified organic materials and left in an undyed natural state to create a fresh, crisp, monochromatic look. One of our must-have’s is the Ishana organic voile sleeveless top (right), featuring an oversized asymmetric collar. In addition to Barneys, the collection is also available in Theory retail stores.
This is the first step in what Theory calls a “green future” with plans to design an organic collection every season. A wonderful theory indeed!

If you get on the SIGG reusable water bottle website these days, you'll see that they have closed down their store. They simply can't keep up with the demand for these great aluminum-based, safe, Swiss made water bottles. (That means a whole lot of people are doing the right thing.) But, there is one incredibly important style that they're still selling on the SIGG website because 100% of the net proceeds are being donated to their partner in this bottle, the Stop Global Warming (SGW) organization. Now that's cool.
According to SGW, 2.5 MILLION plastic water bottles are being thrown away every hour in the United States. Not cool. They want us all to do our part and "ditch the plastic!" We recommend that you also check out the Stop Global Warming Virtual March, an online grassroots movement to spread the word that global warming is here now and that 
actionmust be taken by our country's leaders. When you join, you get regular updates from SGW, including readily available, practical solutions, and you add your voice to the more than one million people who are already "marching." The SIGG/Stop Global Warming "I Am Not Plastic" reusable water bottle is also a good place to start. Get yours at www.mysigg.com.

Introducing "Seriously?" where we'll
bring you
eco products & stories that
are
(how can
we say) crazy, nuts or
"over the top."
Soap dropping got you down? Are you so conscious of waste that you don't want to ever toss the last bit of the bar? Then you
need the Soap Bank. Stick it on the wall
of your shower and use it as a soap dish. Then, when your soap gets small,
squeeze it
through the slot into the
awaiting net and suds up. Seriously?!
We don't even want to comment on what
this seemingly completely unnecessary contraption reminds us of...
