Simran Sethi, a rising star in journalism, has officially launched her web exclusive show, THE GOOD FIGHT [www.sundancechannel.com]. Sundance Channel is proud to be working with Simran to bring you important environmental justice stories on the web.
The official site is up and ready for you to check it out now. If you are interested in contributing environmental justice stories to THE GOOD FIGHT, then make sure to check out this blog post [www.sundancechannel.com] for details on how you can submit story ideas.
Our knowledgeable host for THE GREEN, Simran Sethi, wore some fine outfits during DRIVE, FURNISH and the upcoming CREATE week. In an effort to highlight green fashion designers, Sundance Channel loves to focus your attention on looking like a million bucks on the outside and the inside.
The first outfit worn on the green features a delicate pink-patterned blouse with a clean white-hemmed oval neckline and sleek, shoulder-hugging short sleeves. The alluring pink blouse is made by Edun. The pants are made by Del Forte. Del Forte has a very beautiful and sustainable line of denim pants, you may want to consider these if you are a fan of jeans. The earrings are made by Mollie Dash, whose pieces are so expertly chosen that they almost approach museum quality.
The second style features a green blouse accentuated with curving x-shaped bands of black trim. The bottom of the blouse is loose and confers a fee-flowing sense of relaxation. This blouse is made by Grace & Cello, a very active voice in using alternative and healthy fabrics to style society-at-large. The jewelry in this outfit is made by Tina Tang. Make sure to look for this outfit in THE GREEN, nestled conveniently in our Eco-Videos page.
The final outfit shows a casual but sumptuously comfortable black sweater by Grace & Cello, pants by Del Forte and Jewelry by Tina Tang.
We hope you enjoy our little touch of fashion, and thanks for thinking green.
The GREEN meeting this week was very lively, and people asked many questions about Green clothing. Feeling good about what you are wearing can be quite important, so perhaps in this case “looking good” is all about “feeling good”. Simran Sethi happily fielded questions from the audience and talked at length about green fashion and other interesting environmental topics.
In case you could not make it to the event in Second Life but you still want to watch this week’s webisode, click the video below.
The webisode deals with the documentary “Art from the Arctic”, a film that touches on the ways art and science can be combined to educate and motivate people towards a green lifestyle. If you are looking for a great introduction to what is involved in a “green lifestyle”, check out the Sundance Channel Guide to Greener Living.

Another week of THE GREEN has passed, and this time we had a pretty flawless Second Life Q&A event with Simran Sethi. There were some rather good questions about recycling, sustainable business and other lovely thoughts such as “how many times can you reuse a plastic bottle?” (before it stinks like a swamp toad). We will definitely continue this event for many more weeks, so we hope people continue to show up and learn more from Simran Sethi, as she really knows her stuff.
It was great to see so many people interested in learning about sustainable topics. In an effort to share this experience with as many people as possible, we are embedding a portion of the audio feed from the first Q&A session available we had on April 17th. The visual portion of this video will give you a feeling for what our events in Second Life look like and also of how cool our online video screen is. We are definitely proud of the video experience we can provide for our virtual users. Make sure you have the latest quicktime video player installed on your mac or pc if you are planning on logging into Second Life.
