ever.green #1: Angela Lindvall
Oftentimes, when celebrities and retailers get involved in “green projects,” the numbers show that it’s all just greenwashing: a scam to reel in publicity and profitability. EDUN has always been one of the few exceptions to the rule – Bono and his wife are the front-runners, yet despite its celebrity status, the project is truly [...]

What About Wednesday: Breast Cancer
[[Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?” It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.]]
