Online eco-friendly fashion store Excentree has recently announced a really cool promotion. For every eco-friendly garment bought with them will come a voucher to have a tree planted in any one of seventeen places across the globe.

The company is based in England but they hope that this eco-friendly impact will be felt in every corner of the globe. All their designs are limited in production giving you a true work of art and each shirt features either Korean calligraphy or art by British modern culture. Each shirt that they make is meant to tell a story and is also 100 percent organic cotton.

Along with the voucher to have a tree planted, the company also said it will send a seed pouch with each purchase so that the buyer can plant a flower for themselves. What a great way to give back with a ‘one tree for one garment’ green approach.

EcoZeal.com thinks the initiative is wonderful and hopes that all you eco-savvy people will take advantage of the offer. Really you can’t lose. With a great shirt and a tree planted what more could you ask for?

Each and every year there are approximately 3.5 million clothes hangers that end up going to the landfill. These hangers are either plastic, wire, or the plastic and metal ones that you get when you buy cloths at a department store. None of these are very eco-friendly and certainly not very biodegradable.

The solution is finding eco-friendly fashion hangers that are comprised of materials that are a bit nicer to the Earth. Some companies manufacture eco-friendly hangers that are made out of bamboo. These types of green hangers are meant to be sustainable and will hang your eco-savvy clothes for many years, but what about the throwaways?

There are also companies that make durable cardboard hangers that in reality should be used by all the dry cleaners and of the world. While the metal hangers that dry cleaners usually give out are thrown out, once again they are not biodegradable. However, if the dry cleaners of the planet would start using the cardboard throwaways then a much more eco-friendly impact would be felt as cardboard can either be recycled or at the very least is much more biodegradable then the wire ones.

You can also be sure to not take home the hangers that the department stores give you with the clothing that you buy there. If you leave them at the store there is a good chance that they may be reused and not thrown out.

EcoZeal.com urges everyone to take a look in their closets and see what your organic cotton shirt is hanging on. What about your hemp shirt? Your organic silk shirt? The point is, if they are hanging on hangers that are not Earth-friendly then you are totally contradicting yourself.

Retail giant Wal-Mart currently has over 100,000 suppliers and it is now making some demands of those suppliers. Wal-Mart is now in an ongoing green effort and is asking its suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 million metric tons in the next five years.

While Wal-Mart is not saying that this is mandatory they are acknowledging that those who work with them will be duly rewarded. These greenhouse emissions reductions can come in the way of how products are made by using more eco-friendly materials in clothing for example, to ensuring that the vehicles that deliver the goods are more eco-savvy.

While Wal-Mart has been working with its electronic suppliers on this initiative for some time now, this represents the first that they are reaching out to all of their suppliers. If they are successful in their plan Wal-Mart says that the results will be the same as taking 3.8 million cars off the road each year.

EcoZeal.com is elated to see such a large retail chain making such demands and taking a green stand. Why? Listen, when Wal-Mart speaks, everyone listens and usually some other companies follow suit. By working with companies that produce eco-friendly fashions and other Earth safe products, big businesses can be sure that the planet will be around for some time to come.

Some of my more recent posts have shown the initiative that college students have been taking in order to make this planet a green planet by way of eco-friendly fashion. Is this a trend that will continue to thrive?

They say that the children are the future and although college kids are hardly children they are indeed the future. In the not so old days the eco-friendly movement seemed to be reserved for the colleges way out on the west coast and those students earned the label ‘hippy.’ Now colleges all across the country are having eco-savvy students designing all sorts of fashions using hemp, organic cotton, eco-silk, and more.

From Florida to California and even in the most of obscure places such as Buffalo these students are blazing forth with the eco-friendly movement using fashion as their main weapon. Mark my words, this will not be a fading trend, but more likely one that will catch fire; major fire.

No longer are these college students considered hippies, but rather just plain hip! EcoZeal.com loves the eco-friendly movement and hopes to continue to see more college students take the initiative needed to ensure that our great planet is going to be around for many generations to come.

For those of you who are into jogging or running you obviously know that Brooks makes some of the most comfortable and quality running shoes in the biz. But did you know that they also sell eco-friendly running shoes?

The Brooks Cascadia 2 running shoes were born out of the desire to provide a top notch running shoe without hurting the environment too much. The green running shoes are made form a substance known as ‘green rubber,’ which makes use of silicon versus the conventional petroleum for a more eco-friendly fashion. Unlike their fossil fuel counterparts, silicon materials are not derived through a lengthy processing that can release harmful toxins while being made.

The best part of these shoes is that they were designed in part with the input of vegan marathoner Scott Jurek. Wearing this kind of eco-savvy shoes allow you to go out running almost guilt free.

The shoes come in a variety of sizes and they are not that far off of the prices of the traditional running shoes at $95.00. Actually when you compare them with some brands they are a real bargain.

EcoZeal.com hopes that all runners will take a look at these alternative running shoes so that we can keep our planet just a little greener. Go GREEN!

Who doesn’t enjoy a nice ice cold Coca Cola on a hot day? Now you can enjoy Coca Cola clothing on a hot day as well.

The line was actually launched in 2007 and was dubbed ‘Dink2Wear’.’ When the eco-friendly fashion line first started out all that was available was t-shirts. Now the line has expanded to include totes, loungewear, and caps with the best part being that all the Coca Cola fashions are sustainable and eco-friendly.

The fabric that is used in all of the products are a direct result of cotton and recycled Coca Cola bottles being blended together to form a fabric that is much more eco-friendly than the standard fabrics that are found in other products.

This is similar to what other small companies have done already, but this particular clothing line belongs to Coca Cola. EcoZeal.com hopes that more big corporate giants will take the time, money, and initiative to begin to develop more green savvy products like Coca Cola has. While their main product may produce a lot of waste, if we can recycle all the bottles and make wonderful fashions out of them then the waste will be for not. Just one more reason to enjoy Coke.

One thing that has always bothered me about golfing is that when you are enjoying a game of golf part of that enjoyment is being outside and taking advantage of what Mother Nature has to offer. But in the most contradicting way possible the golf clothing that is available to wear is not so eco-friendly.

However, one major golf apparel company is trying to change that one shirt at a time. Oxford Golf who has superstars like David Toms sport their apparel has recently launched their new line of clothing and the line features one shirt in particular that is very green indeed.

The Castlebar golf shirt is manufactured from Earth Tech and the fabrics used in the shirt include organic cotton and special polyester that is made of recycled plastic bottles. The shirt comes in a variety of colors and sizes and looks just as good, if not better, than the comparable non eco-friendly fashion shirts worn by golfers. The material is lightweight, wicks away moisture, and offers great odor protection in an all natural way.

EcoZeal.com reminds all golfers that you can still enjoy a round of golf without hurting the environment. I urge all you golfers out there to check out Oxford Golf and other eco-friendly companies the next time you go clothes shopping before you hit the links.

Now the young green designer is going to realize the dream of a lifetime and have her eco-friendly fashion design worn on the biggest stage; the Red Carpet. And what will the dress look like? Well you’ll have to tune into the famous award show to find out! Both Granz and Amis Cameron are keeping the design hush hush until the big day.
