What better way to celebrate the spring season than the amazing fashions that come along with it? New York City has plenty of eco-friendly fashion sense.

One of my favorite little black dresses is green and chic! I bought it at Housing Works, a renowned charity thrift shop “chain” whose proceeds go to victims of AIDS and homelessness. After all, fashion is what you make it, and it’s great that people can and have been shopping consciously and stylishly.

With influences such as Fashion Institute of Technology’s “Eco-Fashion: Going Green” exhibit and resourceful organizations such as Materials for the Arts, it’s no wonder companies like H&M are paving the way for making conscious action just a bit easier. For example—check out H&M’s upcoming “New Conscious Collection Clothing Line” starting April 14.

For those out there who don’t know where to begin, I recommend EcoSalon’s “15 Eco-Fashion Books You Need To Read.”

In fact, you can actually help save the planet, even when you make a simple purchase like buying a T-shirt. Making eco-friendly fashion decisions is easy and the effects are long lasting!

Kaity Tsui is New York State’s first Greenest NYer and serves as the ambassador for I LOVE NEW YORK’s Green Heart New York program, where she shares her concern for the environment by experiencing and spotlighting New York State tourism businesses, events, and travel ideas through such places as her blog “Diaries of the Greenest NYer.”
