Outside Magazine's Women of Rock

When my husband picked up a copy of Outside Magazine in our chiropractor's waiting room I wasn't surprised. The cover story was "Women of Rock". The cover photo was a naked (gorgeous) Rock Jock positioned between two giant rocks. While I'm opposed to using scantily clad, anorexic-looking women to sell a product, this was a little easier to take since one of the "products" was the environment. The magazine's feature story "The Axis of Eco" reviewed 13 enviromentally-friendly trends. The author writes:
Today you can choose green when you ski, drive, buy a dishwasher, or drink a beer. You can savor transcendent, sustainably produced chocolate, swig organic coffee, and heft a solar-paneled backpack on your way to hanging ten on a green surfboard (but first use natural sunscreen). The fashionista in you can enjoy eco-jeans or plush socks made from recycled polyester. And in 34 states, select utility companies will let you check a box on your electric bill and buy renewable energy, like wind power.
These 13 trends are Architecture Greenhouse Gases Gear Ski Resorts Automobiles Hollywood Skateboarding Lodging FAQ Vices Celebrities

You might want to read the section on Eco-Chic gear if you surf, hike, shave, brush your teeth, wear socks, use sunscreen or wear jeans. (Let's hope you do at least one of these...) I learned about Recycline, a company that makes disposable razors and toothbrushes made from recycled Stonyfield Farms yogurt containers. (Stonyfield is quite the socially conscience company. Read about them here.) And, it looks like you can find Recycline products in thousands of grocery stores across the country - except the 3 nearest to me, of course.
