Made of 100% color grown organic cotton, it should be perfectly paired with a wide vintage belt, oversized sunhat and glasses, and a pair of Olsen Haus gladiator style sandals, this little number is sure to lead you on the right path. But beware, outfits this sizzling tend to attract lions, and tigers, and bears – oh my! HIT FROM: ECOFABULOUS.COM...
This re-covered iPod is almost like hugging a tree, except it fits in the palm of your hand. So perhaps it’s more like giving a tree a handshake and hearing your favorite tunes at the same time. Josh D, from Australia, took his Apple iPod Mini apart and built a brand new case from red cedar to update the otherwise outdated gadget into a stylish, natural, and woodsy example of heirloom design. Rather than just recycling his old trusty iPod Mini when Josh got a new one, he decided to take care of a little mini project he had been meaning to do for...

Topping the list are the wedges, perfect for everyday wear,...
MNN (Mother Nature Network) co-founder and keyboardist for the Rolling Stones, Chuck Leavell, sat in with Jimmy Fallon’s band on last night’s show — and he even managed to score a plug for the site.

Well, Dell finally can do a little victory dance. Sort of. Dell has been after Apple for awhile now, challenging that the company greenwashes its line of MacBooks. Now Dell has made a little progress in its quest for green computer cred domination – the latest challenge by Dell against how Apple phrases its ads has resulted in Apple doing a tiny rephrase. The Better Business Bureau recommended, and Apple conceded, that the tagline “The World’s Greenest Family of Notebooks” needed to be changed to “The World’s Greenest Lineup of Notebooks.” Did you have to read twice to notice the...
