Miley all Smileys about Prius

Miley Cyrus has been deemed the 'Tween Queen' and Disney's biggest star. She is now a shining example of how younger generations can take part in greener lifestyles. After turning sixteen, she got the keys to a Porsche and a Prius. Not wanting to come off as hypocritical, she ditched the Porsche for the Prius.

“First of all, the Porsche is really hard to drive… This thing is really huge. I’m really into the environment; I’m always telling people to get more into it and there are different ways to stay green and then I’m driving, like, this big ol’ tank and I’m like, ‘That could not be any more hypocritical.’”

Louise Roe is on the list of people you ought to know and definitely a 'New School' icon. She currently works for Vogue TV. Roe dishes her fashion expertise about what is absolutely 'in' and shows how having an incredible smile is probably the best accessory.

Limited Edition Bags Attempt to Make an Unforgettable Statement

Richard Nicoll is bringing awareness to Environmental Justice Foundation’s (EJF) Pick Your Cotton Carefully campaign using his amazing design skills to create these limited-edition bags.

The bag is being modeled by style leader and top fashion journalist Louise Roe. “Now more than ever, it’s crucial to be savvy about what you’re buying - customers need to take responsibility for the consequences of what they buy and where,” she says. “EJF are making a difference to children’s lives around the world, and I am proud to be supporting them.”

Most of us are unable to attend the London Fashion weekend, but by purchasing a bag we can feel not only uniquely fashionable, but also environmentally involved.

Stefani a Celebrity Mommy to Adore

We adore Gwen Stefani because not only is she a popular American recording artist and an innovative fashion designer, she is also an amazing mother and an active do-gooder.

Her family is always rocking the latest style and starting the hippest trends. That is incredible considering her son Kingston is only two years old and their newest edition Zuma is only six months old. They obviously get their good looks and fashion ideals from their mother.

Gwen recently teamed up with Handmedowns.com to auction off some of the two young gent's gently-used baby gear to raise money for a great cause. All the proceeds will benefit the Orange Wood Children’s Foundation and the Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

We may not all by able to become recording artists or fashion designers, but we can take a note from Gwen and actively help to reduce, re-use, and recycle our children's outgrown but still usable items.

Get to Know: Summer Rayne Oakes

Summer Rayne Oakes is a woman on a mission. She has embarked on a journey of "cause-related modeling and innovative sustainable design/development projects to push sustainability issues through fashion and media."

Oakes has made herself known as The Eco-Model. "In addition to this, Summer Rayne is now a spokesperson, resident expert, and youngest Board of Advisors for Planet Green, Discovery Network’s new eco-lifestyle network that launched June 4, 2008 to 50 million households."

Oakes can now add officially published author to her resume. She has launched her new book: Style, Naturally. The book provides insane amounts of information on ethical fashion and natural beauty. From the NY Post:

Summer describes the tome as an “irreverent, witty” guide for green virgins. And yet, for all her self-serious references to being a “sustainability strategist,” Summer is wry and savvy, admitting a desire to “obliterate” competing books because hers “looks so much better.” She also acknowledges, “Not everyone’s going to spend $20 to save a polar bear.”

Treehugger gave Ecorazzi these juicy details:

Style, Naturally is aimed at women “who love style, but may not have “environment” or “green” in their lexicon” says Summer Rayne. The approach is one of openly stylish seduction with 350 pages and 500+ images full of rich colours and beautiful images, showing how much fun we can all have with contemporary ethical fashion and beauty products.

It also goes in depth featuring interviews with industry insiders including many TreeHugger favorites such as Galahad Clark of ethical shoe brand Terra Plana, Blake Mycoskie of Toms Shoes, Natalie Chanin of Alabama Chanin and in the beauty section Horst Rechelbacher the founder of Aveda.

Dicaprio Documentary In The Works, Again

Leonardo Dicaprio has never been shy about his commitment to improving this world. He currently is working on a follow-up to his environmental documentary, The 11th Hour. The previous film highlighted the effects of global warning and expressed a demand from us all to start rescuing the world from the perils of climate change.

Dicaprio had this to say about his reason for developing The 11th Hour:

"The environment has been a huge passion of mine ever since I was very young. I was really affected by documentaries that I saw as a kid about the rainforests, the mass extinction that's going on right now. We were trying to make a film that would really impact on people, to the point where they leave the movie theatre facing the harsh realities of what will happen to this planet and us in the future if we dont make a change. But we also wanted to highlight and, hopefully, inspire people to realise there are a lot of solutions out there if they become active."

"That's the whole key to making this movie inspiring people to become more educated about this subject and to take action personally. And hopefully, when people see this movie, they'll be emotionally impacted and want to do something about it."

We hope his next documentary will have the same impact.
