Hello Green Tomorrow is a unique global grassroots effort by Avon to help replant and restore the Atlantic Rainforest in South America, in order to enhance the well-being of the global community and help ensure a better future for the next generation.  Avon has partnered with conservation leaders, The Nature Conservancy and the United Nations Environment Programme. The Nature Conservancy, on location in South America with its Brazil-based team and local conservation partners, will plant and restore the trees as well as monitor the restored forest, ensuring the long-term benefits of the Atlantic Rainforest.  Trees planted through the HGT program support the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Plant for the Planet Billion Tree campaign. Avon kicked off the Hello Green Tomorrow program by donating the first $1 million to plant and restore 1 million trees.

Terra Style Find: Kim White Handbags

I vividly remember the sky blue fabric on the seats of my mom’s old Pontiac as a little girl. When I discovered Kim White Handbags, I had a nostalgic moment and was like a kid in the purse candy store as these bags have got to be the coolest eco-friendly fashion trend I’ve seen.

L.A. based, Kim White has taken ingenuity to the next level using dead stock, never used textiles that was intended for use in 1970′s and 1980′s American cars, trucks and vans.

Not only are these bags eco-friendly with the recycled material, but they are retro chic with each handbag being tagged with the year, make and model from the car of origin (i.e. 1983 Camaro or a 1978 Ford Mustang)

Camaro! Iroc Z! Cool Water cologne! Feathered hair dos! Gotta love the 80′s!

Kim White’s Handbags and accessories retail for around $85-$380. And for my green stylemoms, check out my organic stylings paired with Kim’s bags to rock your eco-chic look for the spring:

Terra Style: Adidas SLVR

In time for the kick off of New York Fashion Week, Adidas opened a new store in Soho, NYC for it’s new SLVR line (the second in the U.S. along with it’s Miami store). Using environment friendly production techniques such as stitched sneaker components versus “environmentally aggressive” glue, the new Adidas SLVR line is earth friendly comfort and simplicity at it’s best. This collection is a perfect addition to any green Stylemom’s casual wardrobe.
