Dedicate Time to De-Grease
Date: August 19, 2010 | Category: Events, Lifestyle, Stores & Resources
Most of us understand the correlation between oil and cars – transportation accounts for 40 percent of our petroleum consumption. What many of us are not as conscious of is the amount of oil-based products we use every day. Nearly 10 percent of U.S. petroleum is used to make plastic products alone, which equates to approximately 2 million barrels a day! That’s why the entire ecofabulous team is excited about participating in The Weekend Without Oil, coming up on August 21st-22nd. Check out the Weekend Without Oil PSA below featuring the cast of MTV’s The Buried Life, sign the pledge and then read up on all the great alternatives we’ve picked – petroleum-free products that are just as stylish as they are sustainable.

Suckers for talented designers that can take what already exists and make something truly new, we’re constantly amazed by what comes out of the annual Discarded to Divine event (coming up this Thursday the 29th!).

Yesterday Zem got the chance to spend time with a group of fellow mom-bloggers down at eBay’s San Jose campus. She shared her “ah-hah!” moment when she first started to truly rid her home of toxic chemicals, talked about how she cured her kids’ asthma by switching to a sustainable lifestyle, and how buying eco isn’t always about the latest and greatest green invention – often, the greenest product is the one that already exists.
