Eco-Trends for Spring
This spring, art and nature vie with each other to create a season overflowing with watercolour florals and sculpted silhouettes. Blooming bouquets of colour are showing up on everything from extreme cut ensembles to whipped tulle dresses. We're also seeing an updated '70s vibe offering a new spin on the flower child. While eco-designers are not yet as well known, they are driving some of the top trends. From tie-dyed fabrics to bright whites, eco-designers are offering their take on a season that is at once pretty with a provocative edge.
Organics Go Mainstream
The O word is everywhere. From bananas to boudoirs and beyond-walk into any store and you will find products labelled organic.
Cloth Diapers
Organic cloth diapers breathe, especially when used overnight in conjunction with a natural wool cover, which is also breathable and moisture resistant. Consider diapers that are reusable, recyclable, and free of toxins. Organic cloth diapers really are the healthiest choice-economical and ecologically sound.
Dress For the Future
More than 60 Canadian municipalities are currently developing antipesticide bylaw.
Safe At Home!
When you sink into your big plush chair, you could be dipping into chemical soup. Inhale those toxic gases from your fresh paint. Rest your feet on that thick carpet full of more than 120 chemicals.
Certified Organic Clothing
People who are suffering from multiple chemical allergies and have skin problems may find relief with certified organic clothing.
