Eco Chic - Green Clothing Tips


Eco chic is a term that is being increasingly used in the media and fashion magazines. Eco chic is the combination of style and living green. And while following fashion is never cheap buying green clothes doesn't have to be expensive.

Shopping environmentally for clothes and looking for eco clothing is lot easier now than it used to be. More an more green materials are being used in the manufacture of clothes and many more eco friendly methods of being implemented by the designers.

Organic clothes are one example of using environmentally friendly methods for clothing. Organic cotton is grown without using chemicals and pesticides that can damage the eco system. They are also a sustainable source so their green credentials make them a green alternative to regular cotton clothing.

Other materials are being used in the manufacture of eco friendly clothing aswell. Bamboo is one of the most unusual but it is a great material that can be turned into a fantastically practical fabric.

Bamboo clothing is great casual wear and is also used for active wear as it is soft and can help keep the kin cool. Bamboo is extremely sustainable too as it is extremely fast growing and plentiful.

As with any fashion, eco chic is not just about clothing either. Eco chic ideas can also be taken into the home and there are a wide variety of eco friendly interior furnishings and green items for your home.

Green furniture made from sustainable materials is one method of extending the eco chic lifestyle into your home. Curtains, chairs and even organic towels can help ensure your home is an eco chic environment just as your wardrobe is.

In plain terms - how do you tell people you are opening an eco-chic boutique?
Seems that anytime I tell people I love 'green' fashion and want to open an eco-chic boutique, people really do assume its clothes made from hemp for hippies. :-(

Is global warming the newest reason to bloat the government?
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/20/MNMMUT8U5.DTL The new climate protection initiatives director is just the latest person to join the city payroll in the name of tackling global climate woes, raising questions about whether environmentalism is becoming the latest excuse for a bloating government payroll. San Francisco has at least two dozen other city employees already working directly on climate issues at a cost to taxpayers of hundreds of thousands of dollars. "Although it sounds very well intentioned, and perhaps even necessary, I'm concerned this is a case where eco-chic has gone out of control," said Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, the only Green Party member on the Board of Supervisors.
