Well, I have neglected my page for quite some time now and feel a bit distant from the side of me that finds joy in rambling on about what I love. So, u
pon my return I will inform of two things which I feel most passionate: the environment and clothing.
I receive newsletters from a website based upon environmental awareness, which is comprised of anything from tasty vegetarian recipes to hybrid cars to eco-couture. Of course, the last one sparks my interest the most on nearly all occasions. One of the newest issues led me to an article on "Track and Trace," which was designed by Made-By, an Amsterdam-based company who practices environmental awareness through fashion. In this case, the crew created a system which allows its consumers to track the paths of their garments, "from the cotton farmer to the person who slaps on the clothing label ."
Now, you may be asking yourself the same question that I asked myself when I read the headline of the article, "How the heck is that possible?" Each garment is assigned a code, which can be entered into a section on the Made-By website, whose information is developed through various photos, comments, and such.

Best of all, many of your favorite designers are probably jumping on the eco-bandwagon in the creation of 100% organic cotton concoctions, such as Alexander McQueen and Jonathon Saunders (who may both be spotted at a Target near you).
The number one tree-huggers of the market, however, remain American Apparel, who recycle millions of pounds of scrap fabric per year, which takes place under the solar panel covered roof tops.
A compilation of what has been going on in my life has, of course, led me back to my deceased soul mate, forever and always:
