If you are like me, you are enjoying watching the winter Olympics in Vancouver.  Bode Miller won his first Olympic Gold medal in the Men’s Super Combined bringing his olympic medal count to five. ”When I passed the line, I did my normal thing and stood for a second and I was like ‘That was unbelievable, I can’t ask for anything more,’” Miller said. “For my first Olympic gold, it was absolutely perfect.”  What many don’t know about Bode is that he is also an organic farmer and a lifelong Vegetarian.  See this video on his farm.

For the first time New York Fashion Week featured two days of GreenShows with seven selected eco-fashion designer’s.
