Are your plans heating up for the long holiday weekend? Whether grillin’ or chillin’, take a peek at our curated collection of cool sustainable threads and accessories, all made right here in the USA.

(above) A throwback to the fun-loving 60′s for sure, but short denim cut-offs have legs. These babies are from the Premium Vintage Collection by True Religion Jeans. The hardware is recycled and the premium factor kicks up the price tag, but the quality of the soft Japanese denim and fab fit make them well worth all the happy wear you’ll derive. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. ($251) (more…)

You should really get outside this holiday weekend – - but if the weather, social overload, or a fear of fireworks keeps you inside, we’ve provided a few ‘green’ viewing options:

• A variety of animal ‘odd couples’…Nat Geo’s ‘Unlikely Animal Friends’ – tonight at 8 + 10pm.
• If you’re exhausted from barbecuing on the 4th, you can always watch ‘Dual Survival’ on Discovery for more outdoor, odd couple action. A series of episodes starting at 7pm on Independence Day.
• Everyone loves gorillas…Sunday night at 8pm you can catch ‘The Gorilla King’ on your local PBS station.
• Also on Sunday the 3rd…I don’t think this show features a shirtless Valerie Putin, but Planet Green is featuring the otherwise very impressive ‘Wild Russia’.
• In theaters now — for those who prefer a big screen viewing experience and/or need to find something for the kiddies — bicycle over to your local theater to catch Cars 2 — which packs an underlying eco-friendly message.
