"Project Runway" Gretchen Jones

Gretchen Jones, the Oregon-based designer who pledged to use sustainable materials on this season’s Project Runway, has battled it out to the finals. Most recently, the contestants were challenged to design a look inspired by New York city. Gretchen travels to the lower east side, using the brick facade of buildings that inspires an outfit consisting of a white top, skirt and leather cropped jacket.

The jacket could have been faux, but if it wasn’t, the designer who introduced herself as the purveyor of organic  fibers made a fashion faux pas to present leather as a material in her collection of sustainable designs.

Jason Mraz is up to nothing but good for the environment, as always. Besides offsetting the electricity at his home and studio with solar power, he’s currently on a three year transition to turn his farm from a conventional avocado one to an organic property offering a multitude of food crops.

On the farm, Mraz, named one of the top 40 farmers under 40, might be caught wearing bamboo and cotton tees available from a company at which he serves as vice president.

“I’m not a brand whore. I’ve always been a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy,” Mraz told the Huffington Post. “These days I prefer organic fibers because they feel better on my skin. Recently I co-founded BlendApparel.com, a green t-shirt company with transformative messages, that we hope keep our conversation going about our ever changing environment — Tees intended to inspire and empower the people, etc.”

Russell Brand claims to be a sober man now, but a recent statement about the appropriateness of wearing leather from the vegetarian makes us question what was in his soymilk that morning.

According to Hollywood Life, Brand said, “It’s cruel to kill animals just to have a snack. I mean, sometimes [I wear leather], but those animals gave up their lives very gratefully.”

Unfortunately, some vegetarians may believe that buying leather is harmless since the animals are going to be killed in the meat industry anyway. However, some sources say that the leather industry is one on its own and even helps subsidize factory farming, giving it a financial boost it couldn’t accomplish on its own. How?

Growing up in her Italian family, actress Lea Michele‘s meals must have consisted of lots of formaggio, but no carne.

Even though today she’s pretty much vegan, the Glee star also confesses she’s never eaten a piece of red meat in her life. Michele, who was scheduled to get a glimpse of Stella McCartney‘s vegetarian fashions in Paris, France recently, said, “I do a lot of work with PETA. I’m mostly vegan and I’ve never eaten red meat, so a brand that is beautiful without harming animals is my idea of fashion-forward.”

You could say she already had a significant lighter footprint before she gave up other animal products. While it’s ideal to give up all meat, just giving up red meat can have a major beneficial impact on the environment.

Good.is recently highlighted a graph included in a paper by Weber and Mathews of Carnegie Mellon University, which lists the impact of various forms of food and beverage on the environment, from the production to delivery to retail end. From the graph below, you can see that red meat produces more carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane emissions.

In response to criticism from animal rights activists for wearing a meat bikini and meat dress, Lady Gaga has threatened to wear tofu to make the vegetarians mad. Or so she thinks it will.

During a performance in Philadelphia, Gaga said, “What’s everyone’s big problem with my meat dress?”

“Haven’t they seen me wear leather? Next time, I’ll wear a tofu dress and the soy milk police will come after me.”

Actually the soy milk police will probably give Gaga a key to the city if she wears soy clothing, given the fact it’s cruelty-free and eco-friendly.
