I watch a silly show: Kimora Lee Simmons: Life in the Fab Lane. A couple weeks back I was going to write a post on how her Fashion Week plans could have been much more eco-friendly and less dramatic had she not hired a Chinese factory to produce her men’s clothing line (which were late [...]

I visited Twig this week, a unique store here in the Triangle (Chapel Hill) that sells sustainability, community and eco-awareness at sustainable prices, and this weekend (May 17) they are partnering with local non-profits, but more on that later.
I loved talking with the staff. The owner shared that everything in the store has a story, [...]

They mean that they are cleaners, and perhaps are cleaners that don’t use [...]
It’s the holiday season, and you want to be green in your celebrations…
