Summertime’s footwear staple gets a sweet-tooth upgrade from Planet FLOPS, an entire line of delectable flip-flops made from natural rubber. With mouth-watering names like Chocolate Cherry, Licorice, and Pineapple, who could resist? (more…)
If you haven’t heard, Target has launched an eco-friendly organic cotton line from Loomstate. The collection is relatively simple and features soft, screen-printed tees with nature inspired graphic patterns. The casual tees and knits go well with jeans or shorts. Tees and tanks are $12 and dresses sell for $27.98.
Loomstate’s original line is a luxury brand made of organic cotton, but we love that they’re offering more affordable options to make organic clothing accessible. That’s always been one of my main complaints with eco-friendly clothes – it doesn’t seem that you should have to spend a fortune to be good to the earth!

My husband was very proud of himself when he came home with a 100% recycled product from Home Depot today. He’s on the ‘Green’ bandwagon and now I have something else to tell him about. Fair Trade. Fair Trade supports sustainable community development by ensuring that the artisans making the products are paid fair living wages.
Greenheart is an eco-fair trade non-profit shop, carrying both fair trade and eco friendly products including handbags, wallets, lotion, and cookbooks. Greenheart believes consumers have the power to affect positive World change by supporting sustainable and fair business practices in their purchasing choices.
What is Eco-Fair Trade? Greenheart follows the guiding principles of “Fair Trade”. “Eco” signifies that our products are made using the most sustainable materials and methods whenever possible. At Greenheart, we are both “Fair to producers, and good to the Earth”.
The product and giveaway featured here is Greenheart’s fair trade wallet measuring a practical 8.5″ x 5″ x 1″. The wallet has a three-side zip closure, four section accordion dividers, a zip coin pocket, and credit card slips and I found that there is plenty of left over room for my phone.
