If you’re like I am, Holiday gift buying panic is starting to settle in. What to give, how much to spend and the hustle and bustle of it all can be overwhelming. Take a deep breathe and relax, Organic Comfort Zone has put together a list of Holiday SALE gifts that will make the loved […]

Simple, Eco-Smart Holiday Shopping

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

More eco-smart folks are shopping online than ever before. The savings in fuel, the frustrations of driving, parking and fighting the crowds can make the Holiday experience much more pleasant and to say the least; much better for the environment.
This year, do something wonderful for someone else and for the planet. By giving a gift […]

Bring on the Cold

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Like most across America, we are in the grip of a cold spell. Folks here are wrapped up like Eskimos trying to keep warm. Our homes and heating systems are not designed for the low temperatures we have been experiencing and more cold and even the possibility of snow is forecasted. All this makes me […]

Organic Comfort Catwalk

Monday, May 5th, 2008

It was a gorgeous day at Mt Trashmore Sunday! The weather was wonderful which is so important for outdoor events. The models had fun strutting their stuff to our Chill Out Naturally® song (15 minute rock version), and they looked great. Here’s some pics of them wearing our EcoAveUsa organic cotton sleepwear and hugging the […]

Here’s a picture sent in by one of our customers. Carrie’s wearing our Mod Shell from last season made from 100% certified organic cotton. We still have a few left, on Hot Deal for only $12. And of course it’s made in the USA. Thanks for sharing this Carrie, and your cat is adorable
 

Cut & Sew Expansion is Underway for EcoAveUsa and CozyPure Organic Bedding

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Tomorrow we’ll have a demo crew on-site to tear down walls and expand our cut & sew department. We’re taking out the full size kitchen since no one uses it anyway. It’s funny because originally we were so excited to have this huge kitchen, complete with oven, wrap-around counters and cabinets, etc. Heck, we cook […]

Oprah says: Take action with reusable canvas grocery bags

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

If Oprah says it… it must be true! Funny how folks always listen to the media voices. We’ve offered reusable canvas shopping bags for 15 years, and they’ve always been popular…. but when Oprah had a special “green” show and encouraged people to take their own bags to the market, the orders for our bags […]

EcoGreen & Clean: Organic Undies by EcoAveUsa

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Well… Our new organic cotton undies for women are a big hit. For years, we carried a label out of Canada which began the demise in service and quality, so we called our partnership quits with them last year. We started sampling prototypes of our own line a few months ago - yes made in the […]

Our Organic Waffle Weave Towels hit the BIG SCREEN!!!

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

We recently received a web order for 24 organic cotton waffle weave bath towels and my first thought was this must be a “typo”, I emailed the customer to verify the amount and sure enough he needed 24 and has since ordered more. He said they would be used as props in the upcoming movie […]

Natural Fibers for Comfort

Monday, January 8th, 2007

There is probably nothing that compares to the beauty of natural fibers: Flax Linen, Hemp, Bamboo, Tencel, Wool, Cotton… of course, organic cotton is even better given a choice. It can actually be quite difficult to find clothing and bedding made from 100% natural fibers. These days, most items are produced using synthetic materials, or […]

Chemicals and Breast Cancer

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

There was an interesting article in “Ms.” Magazine about breast cancer targeted to geographical areas. Apparently certain parts of the country are at higher risk because of the surrounding environment (and the chemicals).
Of specific interest:  “Some researchers maintain… that it reflects the advent of many new synthetic chemicals after World War II, including petrochemicals and […]

We’ve Come A Long Way Baby . . .

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Organic Cotton has come a long way, and we think this is wonderful. The fact that there are now famous celebrities joining the cause, and getting the word out, helps tremendously. Choosing organic cotton makes a lot of sense. It’s a premium fiber that feels soft against your skin, but more than that, it’s a […]

Walmart slave labor takes away USA jobs

Monday, September 18th, 2006

US consumers continue to fund China’s military modernization, even as they erode their own economy and employment at home. Even worse, Wal-Mart shoppers are supporting forced labor camps where the healthiest inmates are executed for “organ harvesting”. Wal-Mart also buys heavily from slave labor manufacturing zones, where women workers are typically paid 3 cents an […]

USA Textiles - Once Upon a Time

Friday, September 15th, 2006

U.S. textile plants are often located in small rural communities in the Southeast and often represent the major source of employment and taxes for many towns and cities. When a textile mill closes, the entire community feels the ramifications, with local businesses, churches and government being hurt. The industry is a primary employer of women […]

We gonna rock down to EcoAvenue

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

Just a familiar 80’s song with an eco-twist… and without the big hair.
We’re proud to announce our new eco line of Home Textiles and Apparel will soon be called “EcoAve”. Previous to this, you may have goods with our “Tom’s Greenthumb” label, which we’ve produced for a few years now. The thing is, we never felt […]
