http://newlygreens.com Walking Green for a Sustainable Garden State Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:30:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 http://newlygreens.com/feed/ Stories of green living from the early adopters walking the walk. Produced in NJ just outside New York City the show gives an East Coast flavor to implementing more balanced choices. Hosts Greg and Connie, "newlygreens" and not so newlywed, try take the stories to heart and and bring practical change into their own lives. It may not be about being the ideal, but it is definitely about finding inspiration and working toward something better.

OK, so this is a little more of a female-centric unwind episode, but there are a few pearls of wisdom in there for the guys as well. Salon Rocks - Eco-Friendly Hair Salon Owners Pasquale Benasillo and Anthony Del'Aquila show us around their salon and detail the numerous ways they are taking their salon Green By Design: Recycled rubber flooring Recycled tree bark wall covering Computers instead of magazines High-Efficiency Ionic Hair Dryers Tankless hot water on-demand Natural Daylighting Personally designed, all natural, food-grade, shampoos and conditioners No/Low formaldehyde hair dyes Bamboo furnishings Toxic free all purpose cleaning by Mr. Mikes The salon also employs talented stylists from the tri-state because as Paqualle puts it, "Our customers aren't just coming here for the eco-friendly walls and floor."  We also talk to stylists Jamie Policastro, Wave Bravo and Chris Capasso about how it is to work in an more natural environment being exposed to far less toxic chemicals than they would be in a conventional salon.

We searched high and low for some cool (and reasonably priced) organic duds and we found them in some unusual places and made from some unusual fibers. Our friend Carol joined us and we had fun checking them out and trying them on. Here are some links and information if you’re interested in any particular item you saw on the show. Whole Foods Market Some Whole Foods now carry a pretty large variety of organic clothing and jewelry. Some of the brands we featured were from Whole Foods: Of the Earth World of Good Indigenous Designs The Internet Searching the Internet is also a great way to find organic clothing these days. Some of the brands we featured were found on these sites: Bamboosa Earth Creations (hemp) Wal-Mart Wal-Mart is also stepping up to the sustainable plate these days. They are carrying organic clothing for men and woman. These items were not featured on the “O” duds segment this time around because we found them after the fact. But maybe next time… No Boundaries and a few others: walmart.com Kaizen Productions LLC clean
