Hi lealee,

It's nice of you to join the forum... welcome to the site... Hope we become friends... :)

Hi everyone, I am Callicarpa and I am a culinary arts student and I have an assignment to come up with an innovation for our industry.  It doesn't have to be already invented it could be future stuff.  My idea is to make chef's uniforms out of bamboo, hemp or soy fabric.  Chef's get ungodly hot in the kitchen and I think that there is an Green fabric out there that might foot the bill.  We are waring cotton/poly and it is a killer in the kitchen.  Once you are soaking wet you just don't think about it any more.

I am familiar with Hemp clothing and bamboo towels.  One site that I visited said soy is the way to go.  I need Breathability, Wicking property and the anti-bacterial property is also important.  

They like us to be really pressed out and I don't know if either of these fabrics could look snappy and sharp.  My hemp clothing is just very realaxed.  

Anyway if anybody can give me some info I would be grateful.

Thanks and I am glad I found your group during my research.

Callicarpa

PS: I have a time line on this.  Thursday or Friday of this week!   Yikes!!!

Hi Callicarpa,

Welcome to the forum site. Nice of you to join here. I bet you really are good in cooking... Cheers!

Hey! New to this site. I'm currently a moderator over at treehugger, another great

green site. Our forums let "greenies" from all over the world join discussions; and

I have learned so much from our members.

I became a vegetarian several years ago (for reasons I won't state here because

it's angers the "meat eaters" among us.) It is challenging to shop but I think I

may have become a better cook because of it; I have to come up with new ideas

or die from food boredom.

I'm active against coal via e-mails/letters/local groups/newsletters. I was lucky

enough to be part of Obama's "energy efficient" program for homeowners,

and because of that, I was able to get blown-in (recycled newspapers) insulation,

energy efficient windows, refrigerator and wiring on some bad outlets.

I was recently able to upgrade my car (not new, but newer) and my mileage went

from 17mpg to 30mpg.

I have 3 "roadside saved" cats of varying ages, and a new one just came into

my life recently, so I'll have to get him fixed too; I will not contribute to more

unwanted babies.

I am child free by choice, ancient   by most standards on many of these forums,

have gardened for years/compost/recycle/paperless bills, etc.

I am happy to join another green forum.(I'd be happy to join the mod team if needed)

**Your smilies are better than ours-love em'.

Can we start our own discussions or do we have to wait for the mods to start them?

Heya greenteadrinker. Welcome to Green Options. Any member can start a discussion thread here. Due to antispam measures, though, your posts might be subject to more stringent filtering for a while, or be held for moderator approval. That's just because you're new and it won't last forever.

I really like TreeHugger and am glad to see you here!

I'm an old guy from the central interior of B.C. Canada. I'm retired so I do pretty much as I like hanging out on green message boards and reading.

Welcome to the Site...

My name is Tom, I work at a Solar PV design and installation company based in the UK - EvoEnergy.

We've been going for just over 3 years and have done some interesting installs along the way!

I've only come across this website today, but I'm already impressed by the sense of community here...

I will try to chip in where I can and provide any knowledge or insights from across the pond...

Thanks guys

Tom

Hi everyone!  My name is Tom and I own http://www.tiptheplanet.com/wiki/Main_Page which is one of the most comprehensive green wikis around.  I was just browsing around and I think this is a great site and I'm hoping to be able to get and share helpful information here.

Hello guys.

Totally newbie here. Tried to edit my community profile but didn't seem to work.

Any suggestion?

Hi,

My name is Erika and I'm excited to find this forum. It's user-friendly, and I see I have lots in common with others here. 

I am a mom of one with another on the way. Becoming a mom is what inspired me to become more green. I began purchasing organic foods for our family as well as organic baby products. In 2007, when I was looking for information and products there wasn't as much available as there is today. So I decided to create a website, Organic Baby Resource, for parents on the same quest as me. It features organic baby care articles, reviews, coupons videos and tips.

I love chatting with moms and dads about natural baby care and green living so I think I'm going to love it here.

As our family grows I'm seeking and learning more ways to reduce our family's carbon footprint and eat and buy healthier foods. I know I'll glean plenty from others here.

Thanks,

Erika

Hi Ed! I recognize you from another Forum I am on, TES. Are you following me? haha

Hey!

I don't think I am following you, I think we just have very similar interests.

That may be the case ;)

Green coffee, that sounds good.

Hey Deej,

Please excuse my 'hitting' you for a possible answer here, but i'm new to the forum and have just completed an 'extensive' search for the area (if at all) where one might post an intro to the rest of the forum members as i'm wishing to simply extend my welcoming arms in communication with the community here.

Wasn't sure whether you may point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

ukpaul from london, uk . . .

Hi! my name is Jacques

I am in West Africa, I love this site.

We in Africa know very little about Green Options and global warming, we have started feeling its effects on our crops and the rapid changes of our seasons.

However, it seems like the Westerners are speedly bringing the crises to its unusal peak in our continent, there is a Company now in Liberia called Buchanan Energy Renewable, this  company is clearing all tree from the country's dense rain forests in order to fueled their powerplans in Europe and the Americas.

I have always suggested that every individual could plant a tree at least once every two years, this could attracts the formation of lots of Oxygen, reduces carbondiocides and produces more rain.
