Suffolk County Plastic Reduction Task Force Proposes Suffolk Cleans-Up its Act

GIAO Director Beth Fiteni with Kara Hahn & the Suffolk County Single Use Plastic Reduction Task Force.

Beth Fiteni: "Each one of us makes a difference with our daily actions. While no one step is the whole solution to preventing plastic pollution, these proactive steps being considered by the Suffolk County legislature on polystyrene, plastic straws, and refilling water bottles show strong leadership towards reducing waste and protecting our oceans, rivers and lakes.”

The Green Wardrobe Guide was featured in Creations Magazine:

The Green Wardrobe Guide was also featured in Italy's #1 newspaper, La Repubblica!

 

 

The Green Wardrobe Guide in Fashion Mannuscript:

Ask the Expert: Andrea Kennedy, founder of Fashiondex

Andrea Kennedy: "According to friend and fellow sustainable Fashionista, Beth Fiteni, author of The Green Wardrobe Guide, we all can reduce our fashion carbon footprint by trying to repurpose our clothing more and by shopping at thrift stores more often. Beth states, 'When you really want to buy something new, seek out plant-based, recycled, and organic fiber fabrics. And when you no longer want a piece of clothing, don’t throw it in the wastebasket—donate or recycle it.'”

The Green Wardrobe Guide was featured on iEatGreen with Bhavani Jaroff!

Beth Fiteni was also interviewed 12/11/18 on Progressive Radio Network with Ellen Kamhi, and 12/18/18 on WHPC 90.3fm.

They discussed The Green Wardrobe Guide and sustainable clothing -- the chemicals in our clothing that affect our waterways; vs organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, tencel and more; vegan vs animal fabrics, eco-baby clothes, menswear, and what the clothing industry is doing to reduce its massive impacts.

News12's Long Island Naturally filmed the segment Greening Your Wardobe with Beth Fiteni of Green Inside and Out!
