Ren, Vans, Orvis & Get Outta Town!

REN boosts the skin’s natural ability to protect, repair and renew itself, and features a range of men's grooming products including shaving oil, shaving cream, cologne, and after-shave. 99% of their range is totally vegan and not tested on animals. The only non-vegan product is a beeswax lip-balm.
Get Outta Town THIS WEEKEND! If you are in the New York area and you want to hang out with some radical farm animals (radical in every sense of the word), go to the June Jamboree at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, for crying out loud. I would totally be there, but I'm stuck in North Carolina for work, so I snuck in earlier this week and took some pics with the animals, and dined at the awesome Garden Cafe. The best part is that you don't even need a car, a bus goes right from Penn Station to Woodstock!:
VANS gets ethically handsome with a series of shoes in recycled PET, Hemp, and organic cotton. These skate and surf lifestyle kicks feature a waste-free, lightweight outsole, 100% recycled PET plastic bottle canvas uppers and inside lining, water-based inks and glues, or 100% recycled plastic bottle canvas uppers and inside lining.
Our pal over at CWC discovered a range of eco-menswear from Orvis, and I must agree that the Chambray shirt in Hemp/Organic Cotton is pretty exciting. Equally exciting are the soft hemp shirt, and the short-sleeve organic denim shirt I found.
