This holiday, give the gift of fashion that also has an eco conscience (like us). We’ve been in love with H&M’s organic collection since it launched in 2004, that’s nothing new. But did you know they have a goal of increasing the amount of organic cotton used by 50% each year until 2013! See how eco they are today …
H&M uses more than just organic cotton. You’ll spot these eco fabrics too: organic wool, linen, and cotton denim, recycled cotton, polyester, polyamide, wool, and an eco silk-like fabric called Tencel.
H&M adheres to the European Eco-Label which is stricter than in the US.
H&M just launched a line of waterproof duds free of fluorocarbons, a chemical that doesn’t biodegrade very easily. Instead they are using Bionic Finish Eco.
H&M tries to be as sustainable as possible when it comes to recycling and reduction of waste, cleaner fabric production, more efficient and cleaner transportation, and fair work wages and human rights.
H&M teamed up with UNICEF’s water project to donate $150,000 and also has been working with WaterAid since 2002.

Organic cotton is cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which means it is better for the environment and for the farm workers.

Chances are your Christmas tree is already up so try saving a different tree with moreTrees street wear clothing. Shop graphic tees, hoodies, skirts, pants, and jackets for women, men, and babies. All the tees have an eco message like polar bears, trees, watering cans, flying birds, and more. We’re eyeing the Plum Tree tee and the Sweetest Sweats yoga pants. Their line is made with blends of organic cotton, hemp, and recycled PET (recycled soda bottles) and everything is made right here in the USA. They have also given away over 500 baby trees, produce videos about guerilla urban gardening, and plant trees with Nobel Peace Prize Winner Wangari Maathaï’s Greenbelt Movement to help make the whole process sustainable.

Conventional cotton is the #1 user of pesticides in the world and pollutes the water, the soil, cotton workers, and our bodies.

Winter weather dries your skin out enough … do you really need a shave cream that does it too? We didn’t think so. Aubrey Organics just launched two new scents in their already addicting line of paraben-free crème de la shave ($5.77). The White Tea & Citrus uses white camellia oil and white tea extract with essential oils, and the Pomegranate uses apricot kernel oil and pomegranate extract. Each cream moisturizes, conditions, protects, tones, and has antioxidant and astringent properties. You’ll get a super close shave and it’s so rich, you won’t even need lotion after.

Estrogen (found in parabens) also helps to regulate the activity of fat cells, meaning that yes, it's possible parabens in your beauty products are kick-starting your fat cells, and in turn making you fat.
