Green is the New Black


A book worth checking out is "Green is the New Black" by Tamsin Blanchard.

It has an interesting take about next season's hot looks but also how we as consumers are affecting global warming. Such questions addressed are: Does our shopping addiction contribute to climate change? What's so special about organic cotton? Who are the real fashion victims behind the GBP3 jeans?

Tamsin explains the principles of ethical fashion, offers tips on how to knit your own scarf, eco-coutur and the best places to shop for vintage sunglasses. The book also includes fun facts and essential directories on every aspect of "sustainable stylish living".

With fashion secrets from celebrity friends, "Green is the New Black" is a great buy for those of you that are fashion conscious yet eco-friendly.
