Eco-Friendly designer brands?

What are some eco–friendly designer brands?

For example, threads for thought. I like their clothes, but they don’t have anything on their website, or a store near where I live.

Or any brand that donates to any foundation. Like Rock the Cure. I like that brand as well, but they only have one shirt.

I buy clothes like Juicy Couture and True Religion now, and am trying to go green. So any brands that resemble those, but are eco–friendly would be great!!

Thanks so Much!!

Would you have an Eco Friendly wedding?

I personally think weddings are tough enough to plan without all the added extra’s of worrying about the environment etc..

I have heard of people asking guests to donate to a charity rather than buy them a present, they walk to the ceremony instead of using transport, they use second hand clothes etc etc etc

Would something like this interest you or would you rather stick with the traditional wedding, I know which one I would choose

Hi Laplandfan, I have gone for things that I have always wanted, its a civil ceremoney (mixed marriage) so ceremony and reception are in the same place, my daddy has a gorgeous mercedes so thats my weddin car, my dress and BM dresses came from USA much cheaper,havin 2 bridesmaids, 2 flowergirls, best man and grooms man and a page boy, havin a chocolate fountain, river dancers as my entertainment, DJ all night no band, hairdresser and make-up artist both comin to my house to save me havin to go out, cake is from M&S, florist is decorating it for me, a customer that banks with my fiance is taking us for a helicopter ride as a gift (he owns the copter) my son is obsessed with smokey & the bandit so I have hired the smokey & the bandit car to take him and my fiance to the ceremony, I made all my own invitations which turned out beautiful, I didn’t make a wedding list as we dont need anything so most people are giving us money, dont think I have missed anything else

Interesting presentation ideas?

I’m doing a project at school about eco–friendly clothing. The presentation consists of a powerpoint but i want to add something else to it considering that the whole class is using powerpoint. It is kind of like a marketing campaign and i have to convince the class to change their ways. What other things can i do in the presentation?

Using powerpoint is mandatory, but i just want to spice things up and add something more to it (yes, i am allowed to do so).

Any ideas?
yes i will be wear eco–friendly clothing…but i need something more…something where the class is involved.

Vegan materials VS Eco-friendly materials?

There is a difference isnt there, I am just always debating when buying clothes etc,.. because if they do not use any animal products and are not cotton but are man made fibres like pleather,.. isnt that not a very eco–friendly material anyway??

What are the most eco–friendly vegan materials I can look out for,.. besides hemp

Eco-friendly laundry balls?

“An Eco Laundry Ball is a small plastic ball that is filled with 3 types of small ceramic balls which eliminate chlorine from the water supply, kills germs, mildew and odor (especially effective removing that smell from front loaders), raises PH and includes negative ion/ far Infrared beads coupled with incredibly strong magnets! This powerful combination in an Eco Laundry Ball creates a cleaning experience as good as or better than any detergent on the market today without any chemicals or animal fats being introduced into our water supply!

Powerful magnets activate water clusters, softens the water and minimizes the size of the water molecules which helps reduce scale and rust build-up in washing machine and pipes.
Far infrared and negative Ions break water molecule hydrogen combinations into small clusters and forces the small water cluster being activated to increase its molecular motion and penetration force ensuring a powerful wash. In addition, radiating negative ions weaken the surface and inter-fabric adhesion allowing dirt to be removed without using harmful detergents.”

I am going to buy an eco–friendly laundry ball to put in my wash instead of using detergents.
But before i do i wanted to hear any-body’s testimonials. Do you own one? Does it clean your clothes well? Is it a good purchase or a waste of time?
