More on Green as the New Black

Apr 20, 2006 Author: Aysia Wright | Filed under: Eco at Large

Good on azcentral for publishing an article exploding with quotes and upcoming events in Eco-fashion. A few highlights from the article:

Edun, the new label launched by U2 frontman Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson uses organic materials made in family-run, fair-labor factories in South America and Africa. (Edun will be available when the new Greenloop launches this spring)

Anti-leather activist Stella McCartney recently introduced her first accessories collection, due in stores this June

Danny Seo, host of the satellite-radio show Simply Green with Danny Seo is quoted as saying, “Beauty has tipped. Cars have tipped. Food has tipped. Fashion is one of the last categories to tip”

Elle magazine is going green for its May issue, which will be printed on recycled paper and guest edited by Laurie David, wife of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David and a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Sponsored by Aveda, the issue will be devoted to the environment.

In May Wal-Mart will be stocking shelves with organic cotton baby clothes.

Wal Mart and organic??? Doesn’t make sense!

I think walmart going organic is great! Don’t get me wrong I hate big box stores but I am tired of the fact that you have to be rich to buy organic. If it takes a wal-mart to get organics to the masses then so be it. My only concern is the effect working with Wal-mart is going to have on the small organic farm. Should be interesting to see how it all plays out.

wal-mart will do anything to make money, but it’s great to see even the worst of the worst seeing the error of their ways, even though it is only for monetary purposes.

using leather makes no sense! who wants to carry slaughtered animals on their shoulders or wear them on their feet
leather is not necessary and all who portray it as some sort of glamourous thing that one just has to have should be whipped preferrably with a non leather whip!

I welcome the “green” move by Wal-mart, no matter that it’s only done to get more customers.
We’re on the road 24/7 and it’s close to impossible to locate green stores in each different town we go through, so I always end up at Wal-mart, plus circus salaries don’t exactly make you rich. This will be a way for us to finally go back to more environmentally friendly shopping, something I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time.

One can hope that Wal-Mart does not buy the organic baby clothing from sweat shops.

Greenloop represents the fusion of aesthetics and ethics, of style and sustainability, by providing the opportunity to look good AND do good without sacrificing your sense of style.
