There’s a growing trend among people, vegetarian and meat eaters, to learn where their food was sourced. Products shipped hundreds of miles across the country that are preserved with unreadable chemicals and environment littering packages are being replaced with locally grown, fresh and natural items wrapped in biodegradable materials.

Lauren Bush, co-founder of FEED Projects and founder of her own fashion label, Lauren Pierce, thinks a similar movement is happening in the clothing industry.

If you’re a Texan, what character of the state do you most associated yourself with?

Probably not the steakhouses, but that’s okay, because you’re in good company, as Lauren Bush says being Texan may have more to do with what you put on your body and not in it.

“I love jeans and denim — I think that’s probably my most stereotypically Texan trait,” the co-founder of FEED Projects, a non-profit designed to help fund UN programs for hunger around the world.

If you’re a true greenie, you’ll want to grab a pair of organic denim jeans, since it takes almost 2/3 of a pound of pesticide to produce one pair of conventional ones. Everything should be bigger in Texas, but not the carbon footprint!

Lauren Bush Debuts New Eco-Friendly Fashion Line, Lauren Pierce

The Cinema Society Hosts A Screening Of The Great Buck Howard - Inside

Lauren Bush, who some have called the “green sheep” of the Bush monarchy, recently debuted her eco-friendly fashion line, Lauren Pierce.

The Lauren Pierce line offers dresses, blouses, and shorts made from hemp silk and bamboo, crafted by women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa.

It was Lauren’s decision to name the line after her middle name, which also happens to be her grandmother’s maiden name and her younger brother’s name.  

She insists it only makes her more “incognito,” and in no way meant to downplay her association with the Bush name.

Lauren, who admits she has an eco-sin of loving too many magazines, is the CEO, Creative Director and co-Founder of FEED Projects LLC. She designed FEED t-shirts and bags, whose profits help support the UN World Food Programme in feeding hungry children.
