Sustain Yourself

Angel on shoulder: Ice caps, rain forests, ozone. The least you could do is wear ecofriendly clothing.

Devil on shoulder: Embroidered burlap sacks from the craft market? Sounds like hell on earth.

Angel: Hello? Sustainable Collective by Convoy?

Devil: More coarsely woven hippie hemp crap?

Angel: Hardly. More like menswear-inspired corset vests, strapless cocktail frocks, and hooded tunic pullovers with hidden pockets.

Devil: Hell must be freezing over — it’s pretty jazzy. But it can’t really be good for Mama Earth.

Angel: Well, the fabrics are organic (cotton, bamboo, silks, recycled) and dyes are either nonchemical or low impact. They’re even made with a special dyeing process using tea and iron powder. Orders are shipped in 100 percent biodegradable bags. It’s all completely sustainable and good for the planet.

Devil: Okay. Enjoy your do-gooding. I’m headed down to Georgia, looking for a soul to steal.
