DON’T GO NAKED, WEAR A FUR

Once ago, when it comes to fur clothing, you could only decide to go old-fashion and wear one or fight against it like a responsible model by not wearing one and wearing nothing at all. That time has ended. Harricana – the Canadian fashion brand founded by Mariouche Gagne’ – allows you to be fashionable, ethic and even not to get a cold. By recycling old furs and re-modelling them into new design creations, the brand hasn’t only extended the life-cycle of 60,000 coats but also saved the lives of more than 600,000 animals over the past 15 years. If that wasn’t enough, the company commits to produce all of its creations in Canada under ethical manufacturing conditions.  Finally everyone buying a Harricana creation will be able to say: “I’d rather wear fur than go naked”.

THE SPOT WHERE YOU WILL HARDLY BE SPOTTED

What’s more ecologicool than a place with the highest impact on your eyes and the lowest on the terrain where it’s located? The Endemico Resguardo Silvestre resort based in Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe does this and more, becoming an almost invisible part of a touristic ecosystem built by the locally-owned vineyards located steps away, a Slow Food restaurant nearby and the surrounding mountains. The small habitat units have the minimal impact on the rugged terrain, materials which get closer and closer to the color of the mountains with the time and feature an additional cooling system that uses non-conditioned, natural air from outside channeled through the roof. If you don’t get inebriated by its beauty, step down the mountain and visit the wineries.

PANDA LOVES IT, SO WILL YOU

04 Wednesday Jan 2012

Ekobo is a French-based eco-friendly company specialized in the design of contemporary hand-crafted home accessories made from a natural and renewable resource: bamboo.
But their sustainability does not stop with what the products are made of, and goes on with who makes them, since all Ekobo’s products are produced by local craftsmanship to sustain rural artisanal communities in Vietnam.
Once you buy them, you only need to avoid inviting a panda for dinner: you may see both the food on the table and the settings disappear soon.

SKIING ON A PAIR OF TREES

01 Sunday Jan 2012

Posted by auro trini castelli in ecologicool

Skiing in the core of the woods may be dangerous but having skis which have a wood core is certainly much safer. Especially for the environment, once you don’t kill a wood to make them. The Rossignol Attraxion Echo 8 uses fewer petroleum-based products and lacquers for a minimal effect on the environment. Natural linen fibers replace synthetic materials and the lightweight poplar wood core is harvested from sustainable wood that’s grown in renewable tree farms. Remember,  trees don’t fall with these skis but they don’t guarantee you won’t fall either.
