Resplendently Refashioned
The Green Vixen carries the latest in re-fashioned/recycled/upcycled clothing and accessories made from, shall we say, “previously employed” items. An ever-evolving resource dedicated to eco-conscious fashionistas like you! You’ll find well-loved sweaters morphed into scrumptious mitten sets, cast-off chip bags transformed into fabulous totes, vintage slips revamped into funky cocktail dresses, and lots more. Every piece we sell is a unique, handmade masterpiece crafted from salvaged materials by an independent artist right here in the U.S.
Incidentally, when you shop The Green Vixen, you’re not only helping to rescue perfectly reusable items from wasting away (or not) in a landfill somewhere. You’re saving gas and reducing your carbon
footprint. (Don’t you just love that about shopping online?) And because you’re supporting U.S.-based urban crafters, the dollars you spend stay local AND your purchases have fewer miles to travel to
reach your door. See? It’s all good here. So shop at The Green Vixen!

Eco-friendly dog beds, toys and sweaters made from recycled materials
I’d like to welcome Anita At GoGreenDogBeds.com as a member of our eco community!

GoGreenDogBeds.com’s dog beds and dog toys are made from recycled plastic soda bottles, diverting 25 tons of plastic from our landfills each year!

Our Zogoflex dog toys are 100% recyclable and are so tough that they have a one-time replacement guarantee. Their dog sweaters are made from reclaimed cotton fibers, that is, cotton yarn scraps that are too small to do anything else with and would end up in the incinerator, that are cleaned and separated into raw fibers and then made into stylish sweaters. Each dog sweater saves water and does not require fertilizers, insecticides, dyes or even farmland! They now offer eco-friendly dog jackets that are made from 100% recycled polyester and are recyclable again whenever your dog grows out of it, wears it out or you just get tired of it.
GoGreenDogBeds.com’s goal is to offer dog beds, toys, sweaters and jackets that are good for your dog, good for the environment and good for the US economy.

Hand crafted Feeders for your eco-chic pet
I love Whiner and Diner’s unique eco-friendly elevated dog feeders, pet toy boxes and pet beds. These are the most stylish pet accessories I’ve ever seen. They are individually hand-crafted out of beautiful, authentic reclaimed wine crates from prestigious European, Californian and Chilean vineyards. They also have elevated dog feeders which can help extend your dog’s healthy years, the health benefits of an extended dog feeder have been highly praised by veterinarians. You can choose from many different colors to match the decor of your home and have your pet’s name hand painted on the feeder as well. This is a really cool custom idea for your pet or as a special gift idea for wine lovers. I suggest all of our pet lovers to check out Whiner and Diner and speak with Catherine about these creative eco-friendly pet feeders.

The Invisible Red Thread that Binds Us
What a touching story I just read which is also the inspiration behind the beginning of Zia and Tia, who have just joined our eco community. What began with a desire to start a family has now turned into a mission of eco-conscious gorgeous organic clothing and other home products for baby’s and young children.
After adopting their daughter Zia in China in 2005, Julie and Danny felt an insurmountable urge to making a profound difference in this world, wanting a sustained and healthy planet for their new child to grow up in and experience. This urge led to the conception of Zia & Tia Pure Luxury organics, a Responsible Luxury company creating Organic handmade sustainable heirloom products for babies, children & your home.
I got a chance to view their catalog which is full of well-crafted, cute outfits for children. with a life long dedication to a green lifestyle, Julie and Danny are now helping many more women and children of China with a percentage of all profits going to Half the Sky Foundation, providing nurture care programs for China’s Orphaned Children. They are bright guiding lights in this world and I urge you to read their entire story.

Helping poverty stricken kids through the power of Art
I’m proud to be a part of the Heidelberg Project’s mission to better the lives of children in Detroit’s most poverty stricken communities through the power of art. The focus of the Heidelberg Project is rooted in the need to improve the under-resourced and horribly blighted Detroit community where the project was founded.
The Heidelberg Project adopted Bunche Elementary as their poster school for the changes that can be made. The children who attend these schools walk by burn out houses, debris, and all kinds of slum each day to get to class. They want to offer these children a different view, a renewed perspective on life as they witness it day by day. They continuously work to enrich people’s lives through their own artistic expression. To portray emotion on a canvas with a paintbrush rather than a gun on the street. They have many different programs to reach out to kids of all ages. Working hard today to create a brighter future. Keep up the good work and we will support you in any way we can.
