Smartglass Double Circle Necklace from Ecolissa.com Giveaway!! ($55 retail)


Ecolissa.com carries the hottest eco friendly and vegan clothing and accessories! Eco-friendly clothing is made from sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, modal and tencel (made from a wood pulp), and soy. It can also refer to recycled and/or fair trade materials. Vegan clothing does not contain any animal products. This includes leather, suede, fur, wool, silk, down feathers, etc. It is a more compassionate and ethical choice. While the cruelty in leather and fur is apparent, it is not so obvious in wool, silk, and down feathers, but these materials can be just as inhumane. For example "3,000 silkworms are killed (by being steamed alive) to make just 1 pound of silk", down feathers are cruelly plucked from live geese, and the raising and shearing sheep for wool can be exploitative and cruel.


The Smartglass Double Circle Necklace is eco friendly because it is made of recycled glass bottles. A medium, then small glass pendant hangs from a delicate 16 inch sterling chain. The circles are amber from a beer bottle and cobalt from a vodka or water bottle.

The Giveaway:
One lucky reader will win a Smartglass Double Circle Necklace from Ecolissa.com! ($55 retail)

Guest Post: Ecofashion brand injects some cool in to ethical fashion

I received an email the other day from Dan, who does the online marketing for Rapanui. This is what he had to sat about this way cool eco-friendly clothing company:


An ethical clothing company has unveiled a new range of clothing which aims to ‘put cool in ethicool’. The small Isle of Wight based brand have been trading for two years, concentrating on sustainable textiles and buying in clothes that matched a certain ethical ethos. Now they have established these connections the company has turned its attention to ‘making eco fashion cool’ with its new range and new website.

Rapanui was set up by brothers Rob (25) and Martin Drake-Knight (23) in early 2008 with £200 of savings. It has quickly grown into an award winning brand, earning recognition at Enterprise UK’s Young Brit Awards and the Sustainable Business Awards for their commitment to using organic, natural fabrics, wind powered factories and Fairwear Foundation audited supply chains.

Before now the brand was essentially appealing to people who were already aware of the bad ethics that surround the fashion industry, with their cool new designs the brothers hope to captivate an audience of high-street fashion shoppers, who are perhaps less aware of where their clothes come from.

Martin explains - “It’s not that people don’t care, it’s just that they don’t know. If we can inform and educate people as to where clothing comes from and how it is made they can make informed decisions as shoppers.”

Rob continues: “We’re all young people at Rapanui and think it’s only right that people of our age can have access to high street style eco-fashion and in the process learn where their clothing comes from and how it is made.”

Rapanui’s website also hosts a Wikipedia style resource packed with information about their supply chain, where consumers can find out where clothing comes from, how it is made and ask questions on anything – from planting the seed to stacking on the shelf.

Martin concludes “As a brand, if we can mix eco-fashion with trend to inspire people to think about the environment in their wider lifestyle, we will have done our job.”

and let them know what you think.

A Hard Lesson to Learn: Vegetarians Buyer Beware!

My husband and I recently had a horrible experience at a restaurant lately. I wanted to share it with you so you could learn from our mistake. Here is my husbands review:
Evo - Worcester, MA: "My wife and I are vegetarians and love Worcester for the quality and quantity of restaurants that have veggie options. Today we made a trip to Worcester to attend the annual vegetarian fest at Worcester State College. At the event we picked up a brochure that listed Evo as being veggie-friendly and having vegan pizza and sandwiches. We figured we'd give it a shot.

Upon arrival we were thoroughly excited. The restaurant has a cool look and indeed, the menu is very veggie friendly. My wife ordered a tofurkey panani and I ordered a tofurkey wrap. As we waited for our food we were initially talking about coming back to try a number of other options we saw on the menu. All of that changed....

Our food arrived and we dug in. We happily munched away on our lunch until my wrap fell apart and I noticed that the contents were not tofurkey at all. I had been eating a turkey sandwich. My wife's sandwich was indeed tofurkey, but mine was chalk-full of meat. Unfortunately, I had given my wife a bite of my food, so we both ate meat unknowingly. We were both physically sick when we realized the mistake.

For a restaurant that serves so many vegetarian and vegan options, we both felt like this was an unforgivable mistake. When told of the mistake our waitress didn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. In fact, she didn't apologize and she still tried charged us for the sandwich!!!

Still being charged was the last straw. My wife, now in tears, approached the manager. The manager was much, much more understanding and apologetic. There were countless apologies and the manager took both of our sandwiches off of the tab.

The whole situation was disgusting and embarrassing. Needless to say, we'll never go back to Evo."
Now this restaurant was chosen as Best Vegetarian Restaurant 2009 in a Worcester Telegram & Gazette Reader's Poll! We learned a hard lesson that day; buyer beware. It is OUR responsibility to make sure our food is vegetarian. And just because a restaurant is advertised as being great for vegetarians does not mean we can let our gaurd down. In fact if we had done some research (on happycow.net) we would have discovered that this has happened a few times before.

Has anything like this ever happened to you? What did you do about it?
