Avon Hello Green Tomorrow

March 27, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

Avon Products, Inc. has launched Hello Green Tomorrow, a unique global grassroots mobilization in over 65 countries worldwide. The first goal of this environmental movement is to restore trees in the Atlantic Rainforest, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. Avon started the campaign by donating $1 million to replant 1 million trees in this critically-endangered region.

* With just $1 per tree, you can join this unique global mobilization and help save the Atlantic Rainforest for today and for the next generation.

hellogreentomorrow.com

* Imagine breathing with only seven percent of your lungs. The Atlantic Rainforest in South America helps serve as the “lungs of the earth,” but only seven percent remains, making it one of the world’s most critically endangered ecosystems. This is important to all of us, wherever we live.

* As the “lungs of the earth”, tropical forests such as the Atlantic Rainforest are vital to our survival. Rainforests help reduce pollution, mitigate climate change, and support a vast array of wildlife, including many species found nowhere else. Already 93% of the Atlantic Rainforest has been destroyed, but with just one dollar, you can help us restore it.

Celebrate Earth Day With Vegan Shoes From TOMS

April 22, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

Even if you don’t eat Vegan doesn’t mean you can’t dress Vegan!

TOMS Shoes has some super cute new vegan styles. The earth-loving brand has proudly offered vegan shoes since Fall 2008, and thanks to a great response has 4 new men’s and 6 new women’s classic styles available for Spring 2009.

The women’s Wrap Boot, vegan as always, is now offered in an expanded color range: Red, Black, Olive, Rust, Chocolate, and new additions Ash and Navy. They are sooo cool. For all you moms that dress a little more boho-chic than city glam, these boots would be a great addition to your wardrobe. They are inspired by the beauty and tradition of Argentine polo and the elegant, brightly colored leg wraps of its champion horses.

TOMS vegan shoes are also pretty cool. They are the same style of regular TOMS Shoes, just vegan friendly. The vegan line ranges in price from $49 – $98, and ship to the US, UK, and Canada. Yay!

I hope you will celebrate Earth Day with us! Make an impact on our planet and the children in need that we share it with. And who says we have to stop after today??

Floc Designs Introduces New Flops with Earth Friendly Designs

April 22, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

New Earth Line of Pocketflops
Debuting for the 39th Annual
Earth Day Celebration

floc Floc Designs announces their new eco-chic Earth Line in celebration of Earth Day 2009. With the popularity of the original Pocketflops, a portable flip-flop that folds in half for consumers on the go, the new Earth Line of Pocketflops promise to be eco-stylish all while made of recycled materials. All Pocketflops come with a matching carrying case for the convenience of throwing them into a gym bag or purse. Eco-conscious fashionistas who would like to check out the special Earth Day designs may do so at www.flocdesigns.com

The new Earth Line of Pocketflops’ soles are made with 95% recycled domestic tires. Although 75% of America’s domestic tires are recycled or reused for fuel, there are still over 27 million tires that are disposed of in landfills thereby causing immense environmental . Due to heavy metals and other pollutants, decomposing tires contaminate groundwater and if burned can cause fires which produce black smoke and toxic gas emissions, according to www.earth911.com.

Pocketflops carrying cases are also made with either 100% PET recycled bottle fabric or 100% organic cotton. PET plastic is most commonly used to produce soda and water bottles and is a thermoplastic polymer resin assigned a recycling identification code of “1″, indicating it is the most recyclable plastic resin available. Recycling one ton of PET containers can save 7.2 cubic yards of landfill space and when recycled creates a fiber that creates eco-friendly fabric, according to www.napcor.com.

“By merging style and eco-friendly materials into one high quality product, Pocketflops were designed for the busy consumer”, says owner of Floc Designs. “I want Pocketflops to be easily accessible to the eco-chic in one easily accessible place.”

Pocketflops can be purchased online at www.flocdesigns.com for only $20.
