TRENDS IN SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:57:30 +0100

With Black Friday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_%28shopping%29) quickly approaching, be inspired by these innovative ways to shop! We have previously reported about companies that let consumers rent expensive clothes instead of buying them. The latest to join the herd is New York-based Rent the Runway (http://www.renttherunway.com), which allows women to rent designer dresses. The concept is simple: you browse through RTR´s collection, order your dress and receive it the next day. The cost is around 10% of the retail price and ranges from USD 50-100. RTR offers customer friendly extra services like the same dress in a second size to ensure it fits and another dress as back-up style for just 25 USD. Brands currently on offer include Just Cavalli, Helmut Lang and Hervé Leger.

GREEN PORN

As the leaves are falling, many of us long for some tenderness and warmth. Climate change makes our temperature rise and for those who need other teasers, there is plenty of inspiration nowadays. One could start with watching Angry Green Girls (http://www.angrygreengirl.com/) who get fired up by global warming. Some of their tips include save water, energy and money, but I am not sure they save on other resources. Another way to cocoon in an educational way is by viewing videos of former model and actress Isabella Rosselini. (http://www.sundancechannel.com/greenporno/photos/) Don´t expect cliché pin-ups here, but some sexy hints towards environmentalism. For real life action you could travel to Berlin where Maison D´Envie offers an eco discount for customers who arrive by bicycle instead of car. ´The financial crisis hit us hard and this offer brings us back in business´, one of the ladies of pleasure comments in the Independent.
