Petroleum Party: Green Girl On The Street

Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed/ Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed/ Then one day he was shooting for some food/ And up from the ground came bubbling crude:
OIL THAT IS.
BLACK OIL.
TEXAS T.


*Huge Hi-Five for Brit over at Sprig who shot, edited, and produced this video. Brit actually the inspiration for the Pussy Cat Dolls song, "Don't Cha" because she actually makes you wish your girlfriend was as hot like her.

Strawberry Earth: New Green Website That Kicks A**

Strawberries & Cream from Strawberry Earth on Vimeo.

If you have been waiting for an ill-mazing eco website that speaks to the real issues, like fat people on motorbikes in Amsterdam or *cigarette butt drama in NYC, wait no more. Strawberry Earth is the brainchild of some of the coolest Dutch kids we've ever met, and they are making incorporating sustainable decisions into you life as easy as 1,2,3 and 4.

A Suit You Can Wash In The Shower

This weekend's Financial Times of London offers an alternative suit cleaning solution for the laziest suit wearers among us. The Shower Clean Suit comes from Japanese fashion company Konaka and is designed to be cleaned, as the name implies, in the shower.

Dry cleaning is not such a clean industry. The dry cleaning process uses perchloroethylene , or "perc", hydrocarbons and silicone all of which are known carcinogens. There are greener healthier dry cleaning alternatives, but with the Shower Clean Suit one can cut out the middle man, altogether.

For $450, you can cop a suit whose fibers, thanks to a microscopic polymer coating, remain stable and hence look the same after the rinse.

Matt Lauer is so Green!

Gspotter Margaret puts celebs on the spot at the Friar Club's Roast for Matt Lauer. Huge high five to Sprig.com whose All-Star video producer and dear heart, Brit Liggett did a bang-up job, as always, filming, editing, and capturing Margaret's best angles.

Eco-Fashion Site ReLaunch: Adili

Smarter, stronger, and better than ever describes more than just our nation's president elect and the world's opinion of the US.  It also aptly describes the relaunch of Adili, a GSpotting eco-fashion retail FAVE.  

The new site is so fantastic that Marie Claire UK, which impressively covers green fashion with regularity, published a solid interview with Adili's CEO.  "We want to make a difference to people's lives.  Instead of fast fashion we passionately believe in treasured pieces that are made with real consideration and care."  Well said.  

One other noteworthy aspect of the relaunch is the vast collection of menswear.  Finally, something our buddies Aron* and Josh over at the Lazy Environmentalist can rock with!
