Now I’ve seen some unique eco-inspired clothing in my time, such as Bjork’s swan thingamajig that she wore to the 2001 Oscars to represent her homeland of Iceland, and Eva Longoria dressed as a peacock to…dress like a peacock, but I must say that I’ve truly seen green when I came across the new Japanese solar- powered bra!
Would you ever pay $140 for a pedicure? Well, apparently celebrities like Naomi Campbell and Gwyneth Paltrow do. They get their feet glamorized by pedicurist Bastien Gonzalez, who makes quite a killing on his pedicures/massages.
Well, for less than half that amount you could get an eco-pedicure – literally – from Yvonne Hair and Nails salon in Alexandria, Virginia.
So what’s so eco about this salon? Instead of using sharp razors to scrape away the dead skin on your feet, the pedicurists use tiny carp!
Yes people, there is a new jacket on the market that is designed specifically for use with the iPod.
Now you would think that it looks like any snowboarding jacket, with its hundreds of hidden pockets and trendy design, but what makes this jacket different is that it has an iPod keypad controlled on its sleeves!
Take a look:
And with a low price of $109.40 it’s totally affordable for everyone. Okay, maybe not for everyone, but obviously anyone who’s cool enough to own an iPod.
Now I agree that this jacket is somewhat creative, but seriously, does one really need a keypad on his or her arm?
And just how eco-friendly is this jacket? I doubt that it’s made from organic cotton, and it doesn’t look like it’s made from recycled products (which would have been extra cool).
I just think I would rather spend my $109.40 on a cooler jacket, like this one:
You wouldn’t need an iPod to get down to the ground in this jacket!
Sheryl Crow is a huge advocate of preserving the trees in our environment.
In a USAToday blog she recently stated,”I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per
restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who’s judgment I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, “how bout just washing the one square out.”
So what do you think she would say about the winner and other contestants of the 4th annual toilet paper contest? This “plush” event was hosted in New York by Ripley’s Believe it or Not, where the final three designers squared off for a $1,000 grant prize.
