Conscious Exclusive

Did you see H&M came out with a 'Conscious Exclusive' collection of clothing made from at least 50 percent sustainable or recycled material?  I mean, how lovely is this dress?

Business finding ways to make business decisions good for their bottom line and for the longevity of our planet- a win/win.

Part of the issue is, we don't have to consider the full lifecycle of goods.  We take the ability to 'waste' for granted.  Perhaps we would make different consumption decision if we had to pay something like a rental fee in landfills?  One could say we pay this through taxes, but I'd venture to say we don't pay the true value. 

A muses musings.

Sustainability and Design ....

... like Peanut Butter & Jelly!  Two things which are always better together.  Though, I really enjoy almond butter, but, you get the point.

Cheers to Parsons School of Design for committing to put Sustainability at the forefront of their education.  It's amazing what we can accomplish when we make it a priority.  And, then we come to find, it's really not that hard or laden with additional costs.  Check out topics like Biomimicry:

And the Upcycle:

On another note, we are feeling the heat in CA!  Yesterday and today are testing the robustness of our generation and grid.  So far, so good.  Do your part, reduce your use if you can (and you are in CA).

Cheers,
