Eco fashion has finally made it to the White House. In a press conference held in Shenandoah National Park earlier this morning, George W. Bush was spotted in an organic cotton button-up from Rawganique, while the First Lady Laura Bush donned an organic wool suit jacket from Eileen Fischer. Will wonders never cease!

At this momentous press conference, President Bush discussed his National Parks Centennial Initiative, significant increases in the 2008 federal budget for the National Park Service, as well as some recent changes around the White House. First Lady Laura Bush talked about how her love of hiking and birding with old friends and how that has informed her, as well as President Bush, to finally be concerned about the state of our delicate ecosystem…

“I just want to say how important the national parks are to me, personally important. I’ve traveled — hiked every summer with a group of women that I grew up with in Midland. We’ve mainly hiked in our big Western national parks: Yosemite; Yellowstone; Glacier; Olympic National Park; the Grand Canyon.…the part that I’ve loved is the wildness, the opportunity to be back, far back in the back country, where you don’t see a lot of people, where you have a chance to birdwatch and do all the other things that we like to see — you run into a bear every once in a while, which we have.

Last summer we were deep in Denali, in Alaska, and got to see a lot of birds that we wouldn’t have ever had the chance to see if we hadn’t been back deep in our wilderness. I finally realized-this is it. We can’t drill for oil here in this pristine place. Each habitat that we disrupt with mining, timber, and oil extraction, will displace these birds and other wild creatures that I love so much. I said to myself, ‘We must save our national parks before it’s too late!’ “

George has promised me to do everything in his power to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and I plan to address the ecological footprint of The White House. We live in a national park. The White House is considered a national park. Our daughters have been pushing both George and I for some time now on simple things we can do for the planet, like having our homes cleaned with non-toxic products, recycling, wearing eco-friendly clothing, and converting the presidential calvacades to hybrid or even electric. I must admit, we’ve both been a bit hesitant to jump on this green bandwagon, but we’re on now, and we’re here to stay!”

The President added enthusiastically, “We’re lookin’ into solar panels and green roofing for the ranch and maybe even The White House. I mean if less animals means less hunting, I’m in it to win it with this whole environmental thing.”

These developments with environmental legislation are certainly thrilling, but even more exciting to us at Greenloop are the latest eco-fashion picks of the President and First Lady. Be assured, we’ll be keeping our readers “In The Loop” about the latest and greatest in Bush fashion!
