Movie Time: Importance of Organic Cotton.

If you have been confused as to why organic cotton is so important, hopefully this video will help you out.




I plan on doing more extended and informative posts on these topics very soon! 




Here is the link for People Tree, a site I have mentioned in the past and will continue to reference due to it's upstanding demonstration of fair trade and environmentally friendly practices (it's also the creator of the video).

EAT MORE KALE

Some of you may be wondering what's going on right now...

well, I'm going to tell you.

This is no ordinary tee shirt.

This shirt happens to be an original, hand-printed design on a 100% organic cotton tee

made entirely in the USA with water-based ink.

It's Eat More Kale, of course!! 

See?

Okay, so to explain further, Eat More Kale is a tee shirt company that was started by the awesome Bo Muller-Moore, for no particular reason but to make tee shirts. 

He sold them locally in Vermont at a Farmers Market for four years, when word spread that everybody, yes everybody, realized they needed to Eat More Kale.

Since then, Bo has been successfully hand-making and selling his tee shirts at home with quirky, random (yet deep and thoughtful) phrases-- like his first: "CHEESE". 

To quote Bo: 

"It means something different to so many people. Some take it literally, others see it as social commentary. It reminds me to think of what I eat. It makes me think of good food grown in a sustainable manner by local farmers." 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Which is why I love Eat More Kale and wear it often to promote this man's genius. 

I'm telling you folks, simplicity is best! 

Sustainability isn't about complications and technicalities. It's about making easy, conscious decisions to support idea's like Bo's and doing small things everyday to help the environment and the people in it. 

Win-Win.

In honor of simplicity, I got on my ol' blue jean cut-off shorts.

Up-cycled, re-worked from Urban Outfitter's Urban Renewal Label. Fave.

Watch this please, I beg you.

(I met him at a music festival two summers ago when I bought this shirt...he's this cool in real life; such an awesome dude.)

And what you've all been waiting for: Bo's Eat More Kale Blog. 

So go! Eat More Kale and buy a tee shirt (men, women and children sizes are sold).

Why?

...because I said so.

If you were wondering what on earth my tee shirt is all about, then you really need to brush up on your '70s pop culture.

Peace, Love and Kale<3

Modal Citizen

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay... I've finally got back on the blog train after a long time away; that daily grind, man. 

Anyway, I've got some more to share with you people, so I hope you enjoy. 

Modal, modal, modal. It's most likely the comfiest material out there, and has many names: tencell, seacell or lyocell. 

It just happens to be what I'm draped in at the moment, as well.

The keyword here is "cell", as I've mentioned in a previous post, it's made from beach-wood pulp through a somewhat chemically intensive rayon process. 

It feels, looks, and breathes like silk. No, but really. 

Guess what? This awesome textile is also 100% BIODEGRADABLE. 

...that's a good thing.

Just like my plant;)

It's not hard to figure out which materials are eco-friendly or not. Just check the label while you're shopping around. 

Believe me, you do want to know what you're wearing on your body day in and day out, just as much as you want to know how much it costs...which leads me to my next point:

These garments are not particularly cheap. What I'm wearing I find at discount stores like Century 21 (which is where my Natural Life top is from) or other warehouse/outlet malls.

Seriously, they are the GREATEST place in the world. 

Well-made, eco-friendly, otherwise expensive boutique labels with sky-high prices that are chopped in half once they trickle-down to our poor, humble level (joke...sort of). 

Here they are, those beauties. 

Natural Life top from Century 21 and Alice & Olivia brown ribbed leggings made of Modal. 

In all their eco-friendly glory. Ahhh...

And Made in the USA, which indicates that there is a good chance it was ethically manufactured; so no cheap labor and inhumane conditions or unfair pay. 

There ya go. Sustainability once again. Was that so hard? 

Naahhhh.

Also- if you're enjoying my blog and find it helpful (or not so helpful) I appreciate any NICE, RESPECTFUL comments. Feedback and communication is always appreciated!

Btw- check him out. You're welcome.

Til then,

Peace, Love and Sustainable Fashion y'all<3
