JulieApple’s Eco-Friendly Bags Take a Bite Out of Water Footprint With AirDye Technology. Share on Tumblr Email For former LeSportsac veteran Julianne Applegate, who went rogue in July with her own line of boldly patterned stuff sacks, great design is synonymous with green design. “To create great, green design, you must have inspiration, skill, and the right materials,” she tells Ecouterre. In creating JulieApple , no detail was spared, from green fabrics (recycled-plastic canvas, organic hemp, purposed sailcloth) to a new ecological dyeing method that uses virtually no water.
When it comes to chemicals, waste, and water use, the traditional dyeing process is one of the most environmentally devastating aspects of the textile manufacturing process—one that is frequently overlooked in discussions over sustainable fashion . A whopping 17 to 20 percent of industrial pollution comes from textile coloring and treatment, notes The World Bank . AirDye uses 90 percent less water and 85 percent less energy than conventional dyeing methods. + JulieApple + AirDye.

DIY Body Care. « DIY Hand Sanitizer | Main | Tiny Choices Survey: Gabriel! » By Jenn (TinyChoices.com) | September 24, 2009 I love this gallery of DIY beauty solutions over at Planet Green! It lists out lots of formulas I’d never heard of before, including one for dry shampoo (saves water & plastic waste), homemade shaving cream (note to self: great holiday gift), and beet lip gloss (though I assume this has a pretty short shelf life).
We’ve talked about a bunch of DIY personal care solutions and choices before, but this makes me wonder what other formulas I’ve never considered making… I’ve concocted hand lotion, body scrub, hair conditioner, lip balm and soap… but now I’m even more curious about what other corners of my body care can be homemade and greened! And, just because I find this post topic ridiculously awesome: How to Green Your Eyebrows So tell me: do you have any favorite homemade beauty potions you’d like to share?
