We ladies have been sartorially stealing from our guys quite a bit lately.

In the ever-evolving world of green initiatives, Strawberry Earth seems to have stumbled upon a strategy that just about everyone can get behind: Throw a huge party, raise a ton of money and invest the profits into environmental actions. It’s so simple, and guess what…it works. The green activists behind the Amsterdam-based company, Ikenna Azuike and Mette te Velde—a former lawyer and journalist, respectively—document their own events and all other manner of tongue-in-cheek, eco-friendly news happening around the globe on their site, StrawberryEarth.com.

By age 18, the environmental lifestyle guru Danny Seo had not only successfully founded Earth 2000—a 25,000-member, entirely teen-run, environmental non-profit—but he was also traveling around the world as the voice of several hard-hitting environmental campaigns. Now, 15 years later Seo has only ramped up his work load, with a forthcoming reality show, a syndicated newspaper column, books, a partnership with JC Penny, a bevy of green product lines and cross-country speaking appearances. We were lucky enough to catch him at his Pennsylvania home, just before he headed out the door for yet another eco-adventure. read more
