Green Poll: Do You Change Your Clothes When You Get Home?
The Closet Environmentalist is on a quest to make her clothes last as long as possible so that she doesn't need to waste resources with new clothes. Her first mission in her Green Clothes Series to start "with how we can extract the most life of the stuff that is already in our closet. This means making it last as long as possible, and delay the dreaded moment when your favorite shirt makes you look like a scrub."
Eco-styling! Are you willing to integrate eco-friendly fabrics into your wardrobe?
What would be a MAJOR motivator for you to purchase sustainable-fabric clothing? Here are some examples of some of the great "non-hippy" looks out there that are relatively easy to find: Price - assuming I found something stylish that I liked, I'd like to pay around the same price as other similar products Style - regardless of price, if I found something stylish enough I'd be willing to switch fabric loyalties Availability - if these were available at the same stores I normally shop at Benefits - If I knew why I should purchase sustainable-fabric clothing, I might purchase some Other (please explain below)Secondhand/Thrift Clothing and furniture - Do you buy?

From Environmental Graffiti: "The development of an eco-village is set to take place in 2008 in Pembrokeshire, as this is one of the only county’s in the UK (apart from Milton Keynes) to have a planning policy for low impact Development."
