Un vert à-venir - Episode 1
Ethiquette
Certains composants de ces derniers sont recyclables, cuivre, métaux divers ayant encore une valeur. Mais le recyclage est fait dans des pays sous-développés, de manière clandestine, par des travailleurs sous-payés dont la survie en dépend. Les sols sont contaminés en profondeur. Les travailleurs, sans protection d’aucune sorte, tombent vite malades et mourront probablement de cette contamination. L’ironie est qu’une fois les matériaux « précieux » récupérés, ils sont ensuite réacheminés vers l’Occident. Recyclage laissant pollutions, exploitation et morts dans son sillage.
Un nouveau problème se développe, l'épuisement des ressources minières en métaux et minéraux divers et le manque de terres arables. Récemment les traders de Wall Street ainsi que bon nombre d’investisseurs se sont jetés sur ce nouveau marché qu'ils créent au fur et à mesure qu'ils l’exploitent et en tirent profit. Des hectares de terres sont achetés ou loués pour des décennies en Afrique, principalement par des entreprises. Les terres sont utilisées pour la culture de diverses plantes, principalement du mais et du blé. La plupart de ces cultures sont intensives, utilisant des engrais très agressifs et de nouvelles générations de plantes génétiquement modifiées poussant à une allure extrême. Les terres sont appauvries très vite, les écosystèmes détruits. Les paysans et les populations locales sont expropriés sans compensation et privés des seules ressources leur permettant de se nourrir.

C'est la vie

It's almost 2 am and maybe not the right time to write a "personal" post on this blog which is supposed to be about my business only. But well, I need to take it off...

Earth Day Promotion
You all know my thoughts about it. Earth day should be everyday, not just a reminder once in a year. Unfortunately, I cannot do reductions like that everyday, but I try my best to keep good prices.
Have a wonderful green day!

Success?


Sunday I sold 2 items in the same day. It happens before of course, but it was 2 items to the same person. This time, the first time, it was not. Somehow, it was feeling like a milestone, a kind of success. I don't really know how to express it, but I was really pleased. The funny thing about the jacket is I didn't even had the time to list it anywhere! It flew off the hanger! :)
Also my work is featured in another treasury from my lovely French Team!
And last but not least, another addition to the Spring Collection, Incroyable, Recycled Spring Coat.

Winter Collection Snapshots

Here are the last garments I created. I spent 10 days, almost since I am back from Peru, working on these. I am really happy with the result. The whole feeling of that mini collection is almost exactly what I was aiming at: sexy and classy at the same time, elegant and bad ass, and best of all, as usual: recycled from second hand clothings and salvaged fabrics!
Most of these are so comfortable I would just want to keep them for myself! Even the dresses!
So waiting for more professional shots, here are the quickie snapshots we did with hubby on Sunday afternoon. And more is coming as the flow of inspiration and energy lately is really good so stay tuned!

Pollution Day
Haaaa Pollution Day is finally over and we are back to 364 Earth Day!! *sigh of relief*
Meaning no tree cutting or jail. No more wasting, chemical and air pollution, no more diesel car, no more factory farming. I know it was difficult for them all polluters to fit it all in one day, but heck, that's life right?
I wonder how they managed to produce all the plastic in 24h. But fortunately we don't need these type of dangerous material anymore.
Well, that's good to dream but meanwhile we are very far from it. And it is not at the bottom things will change, it will be from the top. If industries don't stop, this will be the death of the earth. All our good intentions will pave the hell we are creating around us.
Recycling and conservation are the only solutions. Why advocate to plant trees when ancient forests are vanishing away with industrial logging? These forests cannot be replanted. The trees are only a part of the vast and complex eco-system. Without the soil and all the exchanges these forests will be forever gone. They are the lungs of the planet.

One of this day, I'll post a green guide. A real one. Not a trendy recessionista (hate that word) one.
Because you have to be dedicated, you have to follow principles, you have to think things throught. You have to think by yourself and research.
I usually don't use quote but I really like that one (if you have the origine and date of it, please let me know):
"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world."
Nelson Mandela
