sustainable sunday :: green is sexy

Green is Sexy came about when three friends realized that 
exchanging tips on ways to make an impact on the environment 
was becoming daily conversation.  They decided that, with a bit 
of research and some help from their friends, they could spread 
the word to all sorts of people and really make a difference.  
green is sexy is about tiny changes, big impact.
Why sexy?
Because being informed is sexy.  Being responsible is sexy. 
Being eco-friendly is sexy.  Making a difference is sexy.

fashion friday :: buffalo exchange

The first Buffalo Exchange opened in 1974 in Tucson, Arizona
by Kerstin and Spencer Block. To our knowledge, this was the 
very first store that bought, sold, traded and took clothing items 
and accessories on consignment.  Kerstin, being Swedish, thought 
the word 'Buffalo' was very American.  And since the store was 
going to be an 'Exchange,' the store's name was born.

Buffalo Exchange is a sustainable company that works to protect the 
environment by reusing and recycling clothing.  The EPA estimates 
12.4 million tons of textiles were generated in 2008, or 5 percent of 
total U.S. municipal solid waste.  Nearly half of the 2.5 billion pounds 
of postconsumer textile waste prevented from entering the solid waste 
stream is recycled as secondhand clothing, according to the Council
for Textile Recycling.

sustainable sunday :: ode magazine

Ode Magazine
the online community for intelligent optimists

Ode is a print and online publication about positive news, about the 
people and ideas that are changing our world for the better.  Ode was 
founded in the spring of 1995 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands by 
Jurriaan Kamp and Helene de Puy.  Kamp, a former editor and 
correspondent with the leading Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad, and 
de Puy wanted to create an alternative to mainstream publications, 
a magazine that was open to new inspirations and new visions from 
around the world.  The cover of the first issue - a close-up image of a 
radiant woman laughing out loud - captured the joy and spontaneity 
they wanted Ode to embody.
