Sandy asks…
business studies: create eco-friendly product (mine is recycled clothing) creative way to present my plan?
basically we have to create a product that is eco–friendly and i decided that my product be recycled clothing! we have to make a business plan (which i already made) but i want to show examples of my store that sells recycled clothing. the atmosphere is cute and quirky and my target consumers are teenagers/young females. I can’t design an outfit but is there any other way to creatively present my idea (like create a business card to show that is one way of marketing my product)
The Expert answers:
You can draw or make mock up cardboard dolls dressed in recycled fabric and show them holding flowers and other objects that represent eco-friendlyness.

The Expert answers:
Colored Girl by Jackie Christie. The line won’t be released until May 9 but you can at least look forward to it.
American Apparel. Inexpensive and has some organic materials. No sweatshops. They recycle over a million pounds of scrap fabric per year and have solar panels on the roof of their LA headquarters.
Levi Strauss. Jeans are no more than $70 and for me that’s expensive but I like their jeans. Has organic cotton, recycled zippers and buttons.
Jonano. This one ranges in price from $30 to $115. Natural dyes. Made of hemp, certified organic cotton and bamboo.
Rawganique: Tops are a little pricey, though along with dresses. Made from hemp and organic cotton. Plus! They have accessories.
One of my favorites is WWF. Made from natural fibers. They also have backpacks.
Elements by HTNaturals. They have natural fibers. Soft and comfortable. Some of their clothing is expensive, though. I’m on their website right now and some of their clothes are cute.
LIME has a lot of stuff.
Mary asks…
Washing clothes at 30 degrees, is it really more eco friendly?
I only ask because this morning I set a load of washing to wash at 30 degrees rather than the usual 40 or 60 and the washing machine told me it would take half an hour longer than a usual 40 degree wash to complete. I know here in the UK they say 30 degrees saves a lot of energy but if the washing machine is running for half an hour longer, doesn’t this use the energy that would have been saved? Any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
The Expert answers:
A cold water wash will use less energy because the water does not need to be heated. The extra half hour will not use as much energy as it would take to heat the water so there will be some saving of energy.
