The economic caldera we’re still digging ourselves up from under has put a whole new spin on the definition of “luxury.” (This fall’s New York Fashion Week will be an eye-opener for sure.) With consumer spending in the hole, and chi-chi brands like Hermestightening their croc-skin belts, we might be witnessing the end of luxury goods as we know them. What does a brand, in the end, boil down to? A used paper bag, some talent with a Sharpie, and a link chain. Karl, who? HIT FROM: TREEHUGGER.COM...

“I love to be able to pass along some of my favorite pieces to someone else who will get to enjoy them as much as I have. I even have many items I never had a chance to wear yet. A few times a year, I bring my outfits, shoes, and accessories to Auction Cause who puts them on eBay for me.” - Kim Kardashian chatting about her recent donation to help benefit the Dream Foundation — a national wish granting organization for adults suffering from life-limiting illness.

All you really need to get married is love–and maybe a ring, and a marriage license. But that doesn’t stop celebrities from going overboard when they’re ready to tie the knot, hosting parties decorated with thousands of exotic flowers, serving food flown in from all over the world, and donning wear-once gowns to celebrate with 200, or 500, or 1,500 of their closest friends. Of course these weddings are incredibly beautiful, but the sheer quantity of energy and resources that go into them highlight a love for each other–not for the planet. 1.

Let’s call a spade a spade. Times are a tough right now, but there are better days ahead – and we’ll only pull through with our sanity intact if we learn to laugh a little! Blue Q’s line of graphic tongue-in-cheek bags and coin purses are the perfect dose of comic relief and eye candy to counterbalance negative news. Made out of 95% post-consumer waste in the form of used plastic bottle and grain sacks, the cleverly amusing “This Economy Sucks” coin purse ($3.99) is perfect for keeping loose change – let’s face it, when times are tough, every penny...

Next time you’re home, look around your closet. Your attic. How many pairs of jeans do you have there, unworn for months, years, decades even? I have four. Aside from the ones you keep for “some day” when you’re skinny again or returning to fat, which ones of those could go? And where should they go? I’m betting your first thought was Salvation Army or some local version of such a thing. A commendable thought, but there’s a problem. Salvation Army does so much to benefit individuals, their local community, and the economy. Young people get their first college apartment...

Here’s a sneak peek at Timberland’s latest offering, which won’t be unveiled to the general public until early next week: The Earthkeepers 2.0 boot, the first shoe the company has designed to be disassembled and recycled—rather than tossed into the trash—when its pavement-pounding days are over.

In fact, 80 percent of the boot can be recycled or reused and, if returned to Timberland at the end of its life,...
