Eco-fashion is really becoming a big hit isn't it? And I thought going green was on of the most popular trends of 2008. I mean, it does go hand in hand with eco-fashion, but eco-fashion has definitely put it on the map. Designers like Marc Jacobs and Donna Karan is what did the trick. Not only will the public be interested in just eco-fashion, but they will be encouraged to start doing other things besides just buying eco-friendly clothing and recycling. Take me for example; I'll admit I did start off being green for the wrong reasons. My closet plays a big role in my life and I have to stay looking fresh and fly. Then I discovered I could dress eco-friendly and be eco-friendly at the same time.
I've always done the usual recycling and what not, but just recently I've moved on to bigger and better things like bioheat. Can you say awesome? It's made of heating oil blended with organic materials like soybean oil and avocado. It's also kind to the heating system, and the best part about it all is that it's non-toxic and biodegradable. How cool is that? It's definitely my best friend during the winter.
I found out about bioheat through my job here at NORA. I did a bit more research and found out a lot of info from:

Check it out and see what other info it has to offer that may be helpful to you!
