Celebrity Designed Earth-Friendly Clothing Lines

By
Versace
Many celebrities have causes they believe in, and a great number of celebs are vocal about their concern for the environment. These fashionable celebrity women have put their beliefs to work with their own eco-friendly and organic clothing lines.

 Emma Watson

 "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson is an avid supporter of eco-related causes. One of the nearest and dearest to the actress is UK-based People Tree. Watson serves as both spokeswoman and designer for the organization.

 Watson's People Tree clothing collection includes tops, bottoms, dresses, and accessories made from organic materials constructed by workers in certain Third World countries. The best part about People Tree, according to Watson, is that People Tree pays their workers a fair wage for their time.

 "This is not an Emma Watson clothing line. This is not a celebratory endorsement, this is something I thought was a really great idea and I wanted to help with. I just thought fashion was a great way to help people," Watson said of her work with People Tree.

 Leona Lewis

 British singer Leona Lewis is known for her staunch support of animal rights and the vegan lifestyle. Now, the singer is developing her own clothing line of animal-friendly fashions. The line is still awhile away from launch, but Lewis says there are plenty of designers that offer vegan-friendly clothing.

 Stella McCartney is amazing for high end stuff, and TopShop has great stuff as well, and Miss Selfridges (in the UK)," Lewis said recently.

 Lauren Bush

 Model Lauren Bush unveiled her eco-friendly clothing line, Lauren Pierce, in 2009. The line, described as "a peace offering to our interconnected world. It is a conscious expression of respect for the earth and our collective humanity. The designs reflect an easy, elegant sensibility that is natural and timeless," according to the clothing line's mission statement.

Each collection in the Lauren Pierce collection is designed to benefit female artisans in countries around the world, according to Bush. Many of these women live in developing countries - the first collection in 2009
  benefited Women for Women International, an organization that teaches women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on fabric-dying techniques.

 I've always loved design and had an interest in the fashion world, but to me, it's important that the clothes do good and stand for something," Bush told Vanity Fair in 2009. "My goal is to create a product that is a little more meaningful."

 Selena Gomez

 Justin Bieber's main squeeze developed an eco-friendly clothing line for teens available at Kmart. Gomez's clothing line -- named the Dream Out Loud, collection - includes value-priced clothing and accessories made with organic and eco-friendly materials.

 "I am proud to be able to join forces with Kmart to release my own fashion collection," Gomez said in 2010. "This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and I feel privileged to be able to give the consumer great product at a great value."

By
A Yemeni housewife is facing prosecution in a Dubai court for allegedly attempting to murder her 18-year-old Ethiopian maid by throwing her over a balcony. Ironically, the young maid who survived the murderous attack was at first charged with jumping from a third floor balcony in an attempted suicide bid. Fortunately, the court decided that the housemaid, referred to as Z.A., did not attempt to commit suicide, the Gulf News reports. The maid claims that her 27-year-old employer battered her face with a hammer, beat her with a rope and threw her over the balcony.  It has now been corroborated by evidence. Allegations of ongoing torture and withholding of salary are provided as further examples of the employer's abuse.  According to  Newsdire , the maid entered the courtroom in a wheelchair after sustaining injuries from the fall. She also suffered a speech impediment from the hammer attack. An Ethiopian man from the same village as Z.A. testified ...

Are The US And Israel Bluffing Iran With An Attack To Force Changes In Policy?

By
To imply that the Armed Forces of the United States of America has the manpower, ammunition, funding, and especially the stamina, in order to try and compete militarily with a well rested, well funded and heavily armed Iranian Armed Forces would be a major mistake. In order to extend their current combat missions into Iran, alongside Israel, the entire combined NATO forces, or even the entire Allied Command is nothing short of ludicrous. The Western Powers and their allies have been running wildly in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2002, when they went to the Middle East to shock the awe out of them, topple Saddam Hussein and hunt the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization. The Iranian Armed Forces, main combat units, contain an estimated 550,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen. The Revolutionary Guard, the elite branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, their version of our "Green Berets", have command of an estimated 3 million combat ready reservists out of a claimed enrol...

Blockbuster Canada To Close Remaining 253 Stores, YouTube Movies Comes To Canada

By
Toronto - Blockbuster Canada will be closing down its remaining stores by the end of the year. Grant Thornton Ltd., the accounting firm that was selected in May to oversee the movie rental chain’s receivership proceedings, stated in a news release Wednesday that it is seeking an order on Sept. 6 from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice at a hearing to wind down the video store’s operations and shut down the remaining 253 stores. The firm explained that they could not locate a suitable acquirer to make the necessary investments into Blockbuster Canada. If the court approves the request, the closure process would begin in only a few days.   Therefore, the company would not be obligated to accept loyalty-rewards programs and/or gift cards. “ We appreciate the ongoing support and wish to thank Blockbuster Canada Co.'s employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders during this difficult period,” said Granton staffer, Michael Creb...
