Will I live to see the day when ‘A’ list supermodels are walking down the catwalk with eco designer clothes, or ‘A’ celebrities walking down the red carpet with green eco garments? For now the world of green fashion designers is still a pretty small one.

But eco designers like Meiling Chen have reinforced my believe that the world of eco fashion is not too far away.

10 Green Eco Christmas Tips

Posted by admin | Go Green | Monday 13 December 2010 8:12 pm
Is Santa a good role model when it comes to being eco friendly? Apart from the eco slay which only uses 12 reindeers to power up, I see Santa as being a big contributor to our Christmas eco crisis.

The reindeers (especially Rudolf) emits a fair share of carbon dioxide after every meal, countless trees are sacrificed for all the wrapping paper used for presents, and the toy factories in the North Pole must be emitting way too much carbon and melting the polar ice caps.

And I’ll probably be making a call to the RSPCA (Animal Rescue) to report Santa’s abuse to animals. Getting those reindeers to travel around the world in one day must be a torture for them.

Santa, here are a few Eco Christmas tips you may want to consider:

Anti-Poverty Week 2010

Posted by admin | Go Green | Wednesday 13 October 2010 5:53 pm
Anti-poverty week focuses on poverty around the world, including Australia. It includes the UN’s International Anti-Poverty Day. Anti-poverty week begins this Sunday on the 17th of October and concludes on the 23rd of October.

In building a greener world, we must first tackle the inequality we face with human poverty. As the gap between the rich and the poor is becoming increasingly wider, we must work to narrow this gap and strive for balance.
