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.

Style + eco-friendly = some happy Greenista Girls. Which is why we are in love, love, love with El Naturalista shoes and clothing. Their chic yet unique designs give organic clothing and accessories a whole new spin. El Naturalista pledges to respect and preserve the environment by using natural materials and dyes, and using recyclable and biodegradable substances. Not only do their clothes look fantastic, but you can feel good about wearing them. And no worries … these clothes aren’t made in some illegal sweatshop, El Naturalista guarantees a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. Their online store is jam-packed with tons of seasonal duds, although the prices are in Euros they happily ship to the United States. We love the Ambar boot from for those coming winter months. Just look at those amazing colors!

Haiti is one of poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere … and that was even before the earthquake.

Want to show your love for your favorite charity? Wear it on your sleeve … and your chest and your back with the trendy Help Haiti T-Shirt ($36). This slim-fitting black shirt is 50 percent organic cotton and 50 percent RPET (reprocessed or recycled PET), and has a funky pastel oval design. Forty percent of the sale proceeds will be donated to nonprofits working to rebuild Haiti. The tragic Haiti earthquake left more than 230,000 people dead and more than 1 million homeless from the devastation. Haiti’s Prime Minister estimated that more than 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings have been severely destroyed. Do your part to help buying wearing your support.

Although RPET is great in theory, some companies are taking advantage of the idea and making bottles specifically to turn them into RPET … without even being used first. What a waste. Make sure it’s certified RPET before you buy.
My favorite site for affordable vintage pieces is Vintage Martini.

As a professional shopper and lover of vintage clothing, I have come to realize how many of today’s fashions are borrowed from the past. It’s recycling in its most fashionable form … designers today are greatly influenced by ideas and eras from long ago (hello, Mad Men). Luckily for you, vintage clothing can be affordable, stylish, and one-of-a-kind. Being second-hand pieces, no new resources were wasted to create these items. Plus, vintage pieces can add to your wardrobe in a way that reflects your style without breaking the bank.
Vintage clothing is typically defined as either used or new clothing originating from a previous era (typically more than 25 years ago). This type of clothing can be found anywhere from thrift stores to high-end consignment stores to eBay. The popularity of vintage clothing has grown tremendously as style-savvy fashionistas search for unique pieces that represent their style and stand out.
Make sure when looking for these distinctive items that they really speak to your style sense, fit well, and can be easily combined with existing pieces in your wardrobe. Done right, you will be that stylish fashionista you always wanted to be … with a green conscience, of course.

Vintage clothing is healthier for you and for the planet. The dyes, chemicals, and processes used to produce wrinkle resistant, colorfast, soft, unshrinkable clothing are not what anyone would call eco-friendly.
Hang your clothes outside to dry. Get a clothesline or drying rack and let the summer breeze do the work for you.

Organic agriculture protects the health of people and the planet by reducing the overall exposure to toxic chemicals from synthetic pesticides that can end up in the ground, air, water and food supply, and that are associated with health consequences, from asthma to cancer.
