Welcome, ace of the interwebs! We’ve had lots of new visitors lately and the experts tell me I’ve only got four seconds to show you what we’re all about. I better hustle: We’re trendhunters and journalists discovering the latest and greatest green fashion, design and style, along with news, wellness, food, books, art and culture. If you crave style, love news and have been known to glean a handy tip or two, you’ve hit the spot for doing it sustainably.
A typical week spent here might bring you the scoop on agribusiness in the rainforest (not always pretty), an interview with an edgy new eco fashion designer (whew, always pretty), and tips to green your pup (woof!). I recommend going straight to the top – the top 1%, that is. Herein, the 25 most popular, memorable, controversial and just plain favorite posts at EcoSalon (yes, we’re up to 2,500 published posts now…I myself am not quite sure how this happened but I suspect it involved copious amounts of caffeine).
