Skip the Burger:

According to researchers at the University of Chicago, eating one less burger a week substantially lowers your greenhouse gas emissions, while switching to a vegetarian diet can reduce your carbon output by 1.5 tons. By comparison, trading in a standard sedan for a hybrid car cuts your carbon footprint by one ton.

Melissa Kirgan gown

Melissa Kirgan gown

Why It's Good:

You saw it in a window display. You told yourself, “no.” It followed you onto the train. It haunted you at yoga. At night, it invaded your dream life. You went back and bought it. Some gowns never give us peace until they’re in our closet. From the floor-sweeping gauze layers to the gothic, hand-carved spikes, this stunner by Melissa Kirgan is just that kind of dress.

Why It's Green:

This gown is available at Ekovaruhuset, a boutique of earth-friendly apparel located in New York and Stockholm. All of the designers featured at Ekovaruhuset use organic materials sourced from producers around the world who provide safe working conditions and fair pay to their employees. Cut from chemical-free cotton gauze, the dress features a silk/hemp appliqué and handmade wooden spikes.
