			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2031" title="think-green" src="http://ecozeal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/think-green.jpg" alt="think-green" width="99" height="124" />There has been a lot of action this past year with the green movement and this is a good thing. By thinking green, the world is actually paving the way to gold living in that the Earth will be around for a much longer time and will be a much happier planet as a result.</p>
<p>When you choose to buy <a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">eco-friendly fashion</a> instead of traditional clothing, you are making a conscience decision to better this planet. Why? When we take raw materials from the Earth to make all the fancy styles and then add chemical processing and the like into the mix, we may be making ourselves temporarily happy, but we aren&#8217;t making Mother Earth smile one bit.</p>
<p>If we do not think and act in a green manner then we will hardly be  our way onto the golden path in life. The Earth only has so many resources to give and when they are all depleted we can forget about anything gold and instead have black days to look forward to.</p>
<p>The excuses are gone. It is too easy to be green these days, especially with fashion. For everything that is synthetically produced, such as cotton and wool, there is an eco-friendly counterpart, such as organic cotton and organic wool. So really it all boils down to our own personal choices.</p>
<p>Hopefully the world will continue the green walk because in the end it leads to the roads that are paved in gold. Think Green!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2029" title="capri" src="http://ecozeal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/capri-150x150.jpg" alt="capri" width="150" height="150" />Every kid loves a nice cool Capri Sun when they have worked up a thirst, but did you know that you can now sell those empty pouches or use them to make some really cool things? Yes, <a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">recycling</a>, or rather upcycling, Capri Sun pouches is now all the rage and this is indeed evident by simply checking online to see the numerous empty pouches that are being sold.</p>
<p>Places like eBay and other online retailers are selling these shiny pouches in droves&#8230; why? The reason is simple; they can be turned into some really cool eco-friendly accessories. Many designers are using the empty pouches to create handbags, others backpacks. There are even those who are now creating full-length dresses from them.</p>
<p>This creates a unique opportunity for you to sell your old pouches or create some eco-friendly fashion with them if you have a good imagination. Either way your Capri Sun pouches can have a life after they have quenched your thirst. While you may not think of them as a fabric such as organic cotton or eco-silk, they are in fact very Earth savvy and make some really cool designs to boot.</p>
<p>So which will it be? Will you sell your emply Capri Sun pouches and gather up a little extra cash, or will you make a cool pencil holder you of them? In the end it is up to you, but whatever you do&#8230;don&#8217;t throw them away!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2022" title="tim-boot" src="http://ecozeal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/tim-boot-150x150.jpg" alt="tim-boot" width="150" height="150" />Timberland, which is known for its rough outdoor apparel, is starting to be known for its green apparel as well. According to the company, their Earthkeepers product line is growing by leaps and bounds and has seen a 300 percent increase year over year.</p>
<p>Perhaps this is due to many people in the world becoming more eco-friendly. Really, it seems that more and more people are beginning to realize that the Earth has only so many resources to give and instead of buying products that have drained many of these precious resources, there are <a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">eco</a><a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">-friendly fashion</a> alternatives that are just as good if not better.</p>
<p>In the case of Timberland&#8217;s eco-friendly line for example, many of the boots have a sole made up of primarily recycled rubber. This means that the quality is there, without using a lot of extra resources. Now Timberland finds itself on the top of the Eco Index, with companies like Nike, thanks to a product line that is a mere three years old.</p>
<p>As time passes, you will begin to see more of the big names in fashion throw their hats into the green ring and for good reason. At the end if the day it is all about giving the consumers what they want, and these days they want everything green.</p>

However, this year, it could be all about the GREEN.</p>
<p>This year, when you are waking up at 4:30 am and heading off to who knows how many stores, you may be in for an <a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">eco-friendly</a> surprise. While there are bound to be many great deals regardless of what you are looking for, remember that the eco-friendly fashion world is also taking center stage this year.</p>
<p>If you have been walking the green path, then you already know that many stores such as Target and Wal-Mart are starting to carry more eco-friendly fabrics and fashions such as organic cotton garments, eco-wool garments, and even bamboo fabric garments. So, it makes sense that you will be able to get a hold of these eco-items at a great discount when you head out for Black Friday trip in 2010.</p>
<p>Yes, it seems that green is here to stay and this year&#8217;s biggest sales event will prove it. Make your list now for all those on your &#8216;green screen&#8217; and when you head out for your Black Friday adventure this year, be sure to do some investigating to find all the great eco-savvy deals that await you.</p>

<p>Companies such as SimplyWoodRings.com are now making it possible for everyone to be able to give a special ring without having to waste a lot of resources and without having to worry about buying gold, which is going through the roof in price in case you missed it.</p>
<p>M0re than price though, wood rings are the ultimate statement in <a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">eco-friendly fashion</a>. There is no mistaking a wood ring when you see one and if you are the one sporting a wood ring you are sure to get plenty of conversation regarding it.</p>

Some wooden rings are so intricate as a matter of fact that they are several hundred dollars in price. But considering the price of gold these days, wooden rings make for the perfect way to show your eco-friendly love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2008" title="rec" src="http://ecozeal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rec.jpg" alt="rec" width="136" height="96" />USAgain is a form profit company that is changing the way in which people get rid of clothing. Instead of throwing their old clothing in the trash were it would inevitable end up in a landfill, this eco-friendly company has come up with a way for anyone to recycle their old garments.</p>
<p>All across the country USAgain has huge drop off boxes set up were you can easily discard your unwanted clothing. Then you can rest easy knowing that the items will be collected and then sold to thrift stores or to wholesalers who will in turn re-use or re-sell the items. This <a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">eco</a><a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">-friendly</a> approach means a reduction in the US&#8217;s carbon footprint as well as a total savings of the Earth&#8217;s precious resources.</p>
<p>Perhaps the best part is that the items you donate will end up being sold for a very inexpensive price to those who are less fortunate and may not have enough money to buy new clothing. So, your closet gets less cluttered, the landfills get saved from millions of pounds of clothing each year, and the Earth gets to keep more of its resources. It really is an &#8216;everybody wins&#8217; scenario.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2005" title="organic-cotton1" src="http://ecozeal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/organic-cotton1-150x150.jpg" alt="organic-cotton1" width="150" height="150" />It seems that these days everything is going up in price. Unfortunately, cotton is no different and by proxy, neither will all of the clothing that contains clothing. With cotton prices approaching all time highs, the clothing industry is left with little chose but to raise the price of clothing in order to maintain decent profit margins and the <a href="http://www.ecozeal.com" target="_self">eco-friendly</a> companies will be no different.</p>
<p>Many brand names companies that sell cotton fabric clothing have already said that price hikes have been conducted. Others say they will likely jack up their prices in February of 2011, but they all agree that the prices have to increase.</p>
<p>Organic cotton finds itself in even more of a jam as it is not produced in the same manner as regular cotton. In fact, there is a lot more that has to go into organic cotton production than regular cotton production and the likely result will be an even bigger increase on the green side of things.</p>
<p>On the flip side, you can expect that used clothing will pick up quite a bit in popularity, though that trend will not go undiscovered for too long and before you know it, even used clothing will jump in price. Hopefully, the inflated cotton prices will not last too much longer as a nice price correction could set the clothing industry, both organic and otherwise, straight again.</p>
