Diva Ø promised to be there for you and here I am. Black is the New Green starts – as all great styles do – with a set of high quality basics. For many of my girls, going green is like jumping into a hot bath. And nobody likes a burnt…toe. So, let’s just ease into it, shall we?
Ten Things Every Diva Must Do For the Environment
1. Use reusable bags for shopping.
There are so many cute styles out there – how can you resist? Every color, every shape – you can express yourself in every way. One of the cutest I’ve seen said “I’m on an eco-trip”. Simply fab.
2. Drive a fuel-efficient car.
Let’s face it – not everyone can afford a hybrid, but there are plenty of other options out there. I am partial to the Toyota Yaris, but you should follow your own style. Find your chic. Every major automobile manufacturer has a fuel-efficient model and they are getting cuter and less expensive every year so there is no reason you shouldn’t be riding this wave. Besides, pumping gas is unladylike – you should do it as little as possible.
3. Walk more.
I know. This sounds counterintuitive. But girl, you know you don’t belong to a gym! And if you do, you don’t go and if you go, you don’t work out – you just go to show off your newest sexy workout gear. So stop frontin’, park your fuel-efficient ride once in awhile and walk! It’s good for the environment, it’s the most exercise you’re going to get all day and you’ve got to keep that booty in shape!
4. Use a coffee mug.
I’ve been known to transport mimosas in mine, but let’s keep that between us. A reusable, transportable coffee mug is just one more opportunity for you to express yourself. And what self-respecting diva turns that down?
5. Use a water filter.
Is an explanation even necessary? Plastic is like pleather – your skin shouldn’t be touching either of them.
6. Use CFL light bulbs.
Hello!?! We look fantastic in soft light!
7. Wash your laundry in cold water and hang it to dry.
Not only does this save energy, it saves you money by not having to heat water to wash or having to heat air to dry. You should be wearing delicates anyway.
8. Observe Earth Day every day.
You know how you celebrate your birthday for the entire month and then try to stretch it out even more? Its kind of like that.
9. Recycle.
Just do it. It’s not always cute, but it is a fundamental principle. Divas are nothing without principles.
10. Tell everyone you know to do the first 9 things.
You are a trendsetter after all, right?
Kisses,
Diva Ø
