Smart Shopping

clothing

For some there is nothing more rewarding than a new item of clothing. Nothing wrong with that. Right?! You’re thinking: “those greenies won’t let me have any fun!” It’s true, being green can seem oppresive. But it’s really about attitude.

Nothing wrong with a nice shiny new article of clothing, but if it sits forever in your closet and is only worn once. Then you have a problem.

Greening is about being smart, in this case – smart shopping.

Are you buying on impulse? Will this REALLY match your wardrobe? There is nothing more rewarding than a smart buy, when it all fits together. It adds so much to the experience when youget to SHOW OFF your shiny new clothing… Isn’t it?

Waste less, enjoy more! That’s the green motto!

and for sustainable design…

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree. For tips, feedback and prophet sightings, Jack can be reached at jack (at) greenprophet (dot) com.
