Reclaiming what style means and celebrating beauty that's healthy and fun!
Are your electronics conflict free? Enough Project co-founder John Prendergast calls the conflict in the Congo a war we are directly connected to, though most of us know nothing about it. In a recent blog post he wrote that, “armed groups are fighting over the lucrative minerals that power our cell phones and laptops, leaving a trail of human destruction that has no equal globally since World War II.”

What does it mean to drive greener? In honor of our featured guest, John Voelcker, Sr. Editor of GreenCarReports.com, we did a poll on our facebook page this week about what folks thought was the greenest type of car available now: Electric, Hybrid, Biodiesel, or High-Mileage/Fuel-Efficient Gas Cars? Most of our poll-takers got it right and John told us why . . .
Who says that fashion photography has to feature scrawny teens and 20-something’s striking a pose? What makes Geraldine shine is her sense of style and her moxie, which really shines in these photos.

Hi there! I'm Becky Striepe, a green crafter and vegan foodie living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. My mission is to make eco-friendly crafts and vegan food accessible to anyone who wants to give them a go.
Founder/Editor of OrganicBeautySource.com online directory of nontoxic organic beauty products.
Safe cosmetics advocate, writer, researcher.
Mother of two little environmentalists who can already spot a toxic product when they see one.
I remember crafting when I was younger, but I didn't really start again until I was in my 20's. Now that I have, I can't imagine turning back! I live in Chicago, IL with my husband and 2 kitties. Embroidery is my top craft (at the moment) but I also love paper crafting, clay work, using power tools, and re-imagining ordinary thrift store finds into fun projects.
I’m a twenty something who got caught up in the stories of people, and, while caught on their stories, made a commitment to helping change their lives.
It took awhile to figure out where I was going to land, and how I was going to do it, but, post six transfers, 15 moves and five trips overseas, I decided to take my journalism degree out on a limb, and create a social enterprise that would not only open the doors for me to help Ugandan women struggling from the effects of AIDS and abuse, but would allow me to write about what I really care about: people.
