eBay Green Team's Tastemaker Top Ten

Billy ZaneOur friends over at eBay's Green Team have partnered with ecofabulous, a popular site about living sustainably with style, to launch the Tastemaker Top Ten. The new series highlights the 10 favorite earth-friendly products of influential experts in entertainment, food, design and more. This week's installment, the third in the series to date, features actor and avid social activist Billy Zane, who shares his guy-focused green picks along with his personal approach to environmentalism.
 
What makes you feel ecofabulous?

Billy Zane: I feel ecofabulous when I create an art piece many times more valuable than the sum of all its discarded parts. [See image below.]

 

We often talk about the value (for your pocketbook and the planet) of buying pre-owned and vintage. Is there anything you're shopping for that's pre-owned lately?

Billy Zane: I buy vintage clothes often, as my style and sensibilities are pretty retro. I prefer vintage boots, watches, ties, and often find vintage and antique items make better gifts. They are well made, often by hand with better ratios of precious metals, and feel like one of a kind. [I buy] vintage frames for shades and specks always—just better looking, better weight, and sense of style. These are my natural inclinations and preferences. I'm so glad they could align with the current logic of environmentalism.
