One Greener Radio Show : Sustainable Clothing

Click to Play

How do we dress more conscientiously? What are the materials that have the least impact social and ecologically? Sustainability and clothing is perhaps one of those combinations that many people do not think about, but we all buy clothes. On this show, we will talk with luminaries from Patagonia, Nau, and leading edge fashion designers who are striving to make conscious choices about their apparel and accessories. Visit www.onegreener.com before and after our show for show archives, extended interviews, links and resources. You can call in LIVE on Wednesdays or email us beforehand or during with questions at info@onegreener.com, follow us at Twitter.com/onegreener.

One Greener Radio will focus on sustainability with lighthearted and enjoyable conversations. A goal will be to hear stories of change in communities. One Greener Radio is hosted by Shane Snipes (Twitter:VannShane), a media and sustainability specialist. He has worked for more than 16 years in the sustainability, environmental and social change arenas. His recent clients include Microsoft, Nordstrom, and Intel to name a few. He has interviewed dozens of celebrities, corporate executives, and experts at festivals, fundraisers, special events, and casual settings. Some of his interviews include Al Pacino, Virginia Madsen, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel and dozens more.

From: Why Smart Managers Will Capitalize on Sustainability First

Q: Can you elaborate on the correlation between sustainability and competitive advantage?

Yeah. Efficiency (lower unit costs), quality, reliability -- often these "positive" attributes of companies go hand in hand, managers will tell you. Now think about sustainability. If companies are good at developing systems that deal with health and safety, and/or treating waste and water, and/or devising innovative ways to reduce energy consumption and so forth, they usually have their act together on many other, fundamental, how-they-do-business fronts. In other words, companies that have thought hard about how to establish various management systems that promote more sustainable business practices are also companies that have thought hard about how to be more efficient or innovative or differentiate their products and services in the market.

Sustainability becomes a proxy for management quality. This is a quick way for others, be they buyers or customers or potential partners, to get information about vendors or any other value-chain partner and what kinds of systems they have. And that makes sense to me, absolutely.

Green Festival Seattle Blog #1

Saturday March 28 is a busy day as we cover the Green Festival here in Seattle, Washington.Video coverage is on Qik.

At Green Festival™, a joint project of Global Exchange and Green America, we’re celebrating what’s working in our communities—for people, business and the environment.

Think of Green Festival™ as a walk through a sustainable community. It begins with finding solutions to help make our lives healthier—socially, economically and environmentally. Individuals along with business and community leaders come together to discuss critical issues that impact us at home and abroad. Organizations and businesses showcase programs and products that restore the planet and all that inhabit it. Neighbor-to-neighbor connections are formed, and skills are shared to empower people to create positive change in the world.

About the film:
A ferocious kill on the Serengeti… warnings about endangered species! These cliches of nature documentaries disregard a key part of the landscape: villagers just off-camera who navigate the dangers and costs of living with wildlife.

Africa is emerging from a history of “white man conservation” that displaced indigenous people, banned subsistence hunting, and fueled resentment. Now, a revolution in grass-roots wildlife conservation is turning poachers into protectors. But change doesn’t come easy.

With memorable characters and spectacular locations, MILKING THE RHINO tells joyful, penetrating and heartbreaking stories from Kenya and Namibia - revealing the high stakes obstacles facing Community Conservation today.

Benj Gershman
O.A.R. (an acronym for the band's full moniker, Of a Revolution) transformed themselves from local Ohio State University bandmates to Billboard chartbusters and headliners at venues across America. First, the band's two demo recordings were hawked at universities. Then, news spread about the band's roots rock and reggae-inflected songs, which owed much to the jam band genre. Before long, O.A.R.'s website had turned into a highly-trafficked internet destination, and the group gradually left the college scene for the bright lights of national stardom.

Formed in 1996 in Rockville, MD, O.A.R. coalesced around lead singer/rhythm guitarist Marc Roberge, lead guitarist Richard On, saxophonist Jerry DePizzo, bassist Benj Gershman, and drummer Chris Culos. Roberge had known Culos since childhood; he also played in local bands with On and Gershman. DePizzo, who hails from Youngstown, OH, met the other Maryland natives at Ohio State, and the band made its recorded debut with the release of an independent demo, 1997's The Wanderer. Many of the songs on O.A.R.'s debut disc were written while Roberge and Culos were living in Israel.

Two years later, the switch from student band to headlining act started with the arrival of an intensely popular song titled "That Was a Crazy Game of Poker." (Many lyrics for the band's songs came from Roberge's interest in literature, particularly Stephen King's novel -The Stand.) The group went back into the recording studio for a second demo, which was released independently as Souls Aflame in 1999. With the success of 2001's Risen, Roberge began writing songs for a new CD late that year. To appease their dedicated fan base, they issued a live album, Any Time Now, in the spring of 2002 and subsequently signed with Lava/Atlantic for the release of 2003's In Between Now and Then. Additional tour dates led to the release of 34th & 8th, the band's second live offering. The band returned to the studio again with 2005's Stories of a Stranger, which contained a pair of Top 20 Hot AC hits in "Love and Memories" and "Heard the World." The Live from Madison Square Garden CD/DVD appeared in 2007. O.A.R.'s slickest album yet, the commercially-minded All Sides, was released in 2008. Robert Hicks, All Music Guide

Of a Revolution, better known as O.A.R., American rock band consisting of Marc Roberge (vocals, guitar), Chris Culos (drums, percussion), Richard On (guitar, backing vocals), Benj Gershman (bass guitar), Jerry DePizzo (saxophone, guitar, backing vocals). Due to massive online distribution over campus networks, the band has become a hit among college students, with many songs relating to the band members' personal lives at Ohio State University (Columbus) and growing up in Rockville, Maryland.

In the summer of 2008, O.A.R. launched the "All Sides Tour" to promote their new album of the same name, which began June 15 in Manchester, TN at Bonnaroo and concluded August 31 at the Gorge as an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band.
The first radio single for All Sides, "Shattered (Turn the Car Around)", was released for download on June 13th. It has been the band's biggest hit to date, surpassing "Love And Memories".
In June 2008 the song "This Town", also from All Sides, was used extensively by ESPN during its coverage of the 2008 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament and College World Series.
O.A.R.'s song "Wonderful Day" is currently being used on nationally airing Ford commercials.
In December 2008, VH1 named the music video for "Shattered" as number 18 on their Top 40 Videos of 2008, saying that "O.A.R. is no longer this well-kept secret; they finally have broken through to mainstream."
O.A.R. performed three songs for Fox News Channel's 2008 New Year's Eve uParty coverage live in Times Square in New York City on December 31, 2008. The filming took place on Sunday December 27, 2008. The three songs played and also aired were: "Shattered", "Living In The End" and "This Town".
On January 9, 2009 O.A.R. lead singer, Marc Roberge, did a charity concert to benefit the Connecticut National Guard at Hopkins School in New Haven, CT performing many of the band's hit songs solo (accompanying himself with an acoustic guitar) including Love and Memories, Shattered, and This Town.

February 4, 2009 Radio Show Summary

Sustainable Clothing
Topics covered:
Organic Cotton, Green Fabrics, Sustainable Business Practices, Social Responsibility, Fair Trade

One key idea came out of this show: As consumers, buy higher quality, but less. This means you can afford fewer clothes but the ones you have last longer, be made in equitable (non-sweatshop) places, and have a smaller impact on the environment.

Patagonia quotes:
“Mistreatment of garment workers is not just the result of global competition for low-price products, factory greed or malfeasance. It can also be the result of inefficiency, not only at the factory but also on the part of the company buying the goods. Last-minute changes to orders, unreasonable price demands and hurry-up delivery times can exacerbate already difficult conditions on the factory floor.” This practice of 'instant business' causes disruptions in production and company relationships. Patagonia's desire to build long-term relations with their factories, sets them apart in this lowest priced supply chain world. For some companies finding an item for five cents less is reason for shifting to the a new factory. Factory owners therefore are not looking at long term practices in sustainability based on the demand from conscious companies, they are looking at lowest price.

February 4, 2009 Show Guests:
