great green-ies: miss courageous


greening.... i find it exciting and hopeful that while there sure are lots of terrible things going on to pollute & harm our planet, there are so many wonderful folks doing fabulous things to help make the world a greener, healthier place! so, the rikrak studio is happy to feature great green-ies : snapshots of amazing, inspiring. eco-forward-thinking folks & groups from all sorts of fields and paths in the greening movement. some inspire by greening at home, or in their business; in their art or the larger world, or on many levels at once! i've asked each green-ie to suggest an easy eco-idea or tip we might all be able to add to our daily lives. today i'm honoured to present the next in this series!

the wonderful, talented, ever-friendly millie of the shops miss courageous (pop jewelry & accessories) & buckle up is a brilliant recycler that has something stylish & fashionable for everyone! i just love her amazing belt buckles, made from inlayed record vinyl or upcycled jelly jar lid buckles. and i adore her record vinyl necklaces! what a great conversation piece her accessories would be!

so be sure to stop by her lovely shops, and follow her wonderful, fun & trashion-forward tweets on twitter! let's support upcycling artists whenever we can!

and here's millie's eco.tip!
..........................

"My tip is to re-use. If you can't there's probably an artist out there that can. For instance, I don't sew but I do swap supplies with fellow etsians. They give me jar lids & bottle caps, I give them old clothes to re-sew."
