Will fashion hit the GREEN Target?
One of the green trends I have been slow to convert to is eco-fashion. Except for a few organic cotton and bamboo shirts, I have been pretty resistant to this part of going green. It's mainly because there are not a lot of stores that sell a wide range of eco-clothing and I prefer not to purchase clothes online. Fit issues and such. Also for a gal on a budget these lines are pretty pricey.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures, Target, just might make it easier and less expensive to dress a bit greener. Designer Rogan Gregory has teamed up with Target and Barney's to launch Go International this month an eco-friendly clothing line for the mass market. The designs will use organic cotton, linen, hemp and bamboo. And will range between $15 and $45. I will definitely take a peek. Just to add to the hip and cool factor, Gregory has designed for Edun.
So...Does this mean that "going green" has jumped the shark? I don't think so, anytime and anyway you can make people think a little more earth conscience with their purchase power I think it's great. No matter where it comes from.

About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
