With everything we know about pollution and the environment, it’s clear we need to take control. In every major city around the globe, humankind consumes the Earth’s resources to exhaustion. And if we don’t wake up and smell the fumes, it may one day be too late. When it comes to ensuring our survival, the question is: Where do we start? For homeowners and businesses in Ontario, one solution is finally here, and it comes in the shape of a little green amphibian.

If we are what we eat, then what do our clothes say about ourselves? With runway looks reproduced at a record breaking pace for fashion meccas such as H & M and Old Navy, we are constantly buying short-lived pieces that appeal to our trend-setting agendas. Just as fast food quells those on-the-go, fast fashion satiates our appetites with quick fixes to a Saturday night out. These cheap and chic garments, made from non-recyclable materials and sprayed with toxic pesticides, are not just harming our well-being, but plaguing the environment with waste. Thanks to eco-conscious designers creating stylish wear and accessories from natural and renewable fabrics such as bamboo, a solution to consumerism exists. With the Slow Fashion Movement quickly finding its place on the fashion scene, concerned consumers should consider investing in classic, locally made pieces made with care and thoughtful beginnings.

April showers bring Mayflowers, which bloom from the Earth’s dark breast as the sun’s embrace heals the clinch of winter’s cold. And while the quiet fire of spring unleashes quaint gardens and the birds’ chorus serenades a blushing sunrise, at times the seasons may hesitate their course. “The Chilean poet Pablo Neruda once said: ‘They can cut all the flowers, but they can’t stop the spring,’” recalls celebrated artist Anne Geddes. As the world’s most prolific baby photographer, she sets to work in a surprisingly quiet photography studio, set in Sydney, Australia. Yet as her precious models drift to sleep against fluffs of supple cotton, Read more
