GrowNYC’s Million Pound Challenge Help NYC lose one million pounds!

The average New Yorker tosses 46 pounds of clothing and textiles in the trash each year, totaling 6% of our entire residential waste stream. But with your help, landfills are going on a diet.

GrowNYC’s Million Pound Challenge is calling on all New Yorkers to clean out closets and empty drawers of unwanted clothing, linens, shoes, bags and more.

For More Information and Drop-Off Locations.

Are your Nikes greener than your Adidas?

There will soon be an answer to this question, if the manufacturers have their way.

A group of roughly 100 well-known apparel brands and retailers have developed a software tool to help them measure the environmental impact of their apparel and footwear, from raw material to garbage dump. Ultimately, the companies hope to display an eco-value on a tag or package, much like the Energy Star rating of appliances.(Read More)

Hi everyone! Think you may be interested in this upcoming event.
http://www.greenedgenyc.org/events/sense-sustainability

It is an eco-fashion fundraiser featuring a runway show and sample sale!
We already know this, but their website included a great reminder of why we love it: clothes made out of organic cotton or bamboo are biodegradable, while clothes made from synthetic - outlive you; clothes made out of recycled materials give that plastic bottle a second, sustainable fashions support small independent producers and their skills, in a non-sweatshop environment.

Designers include: Tina Tandon, Helen Asir and Swati Argade
