Alo Sportswear

So I know this is a blog all about theater but is there an actor out there that isn't also interested in perfecting their bodies? To be in pristine condition to perform the body, mind, and voice must all be in synch. So why not bring your interest in environmental awareness to your workout as well? Alo Sportswear has thought of everything. Cool clothing made from bamboo, modal, and organic cotton. They have yoga wear and outerwear to keep you warm on your way to class. In addition their LA headquarters has solar panels to cut down on their carbon footprint. All of a sudden I can't wait to get to the gym.

Paint

Something I don't think has been mentioned a lot since I hadn't heard of it before is paint and its harmful affects on the environment. Leftover paint can account for more than 60% of material collected at household hazard waste collection programs. If you have measured your space accurately and you only purchased paint you will use then wonderful. But if you have some leftover why not donate to organizations that might need it more than the landfill? So why not think outside the can and reuse or donate leftover paint to organizations that really need it like...struggling theater companies.

Home of the Wriggler

Edinburgh. Home of the innovative and interesting and this piece does not disappoint. From Stan's Cafe they are calling it an eco-legend. It takes place sometime in the future when oil has long been gone and cars and machinery are the things of stories and so distant in the past that no one can really remember them at all. Home of the Wriggler brings an onstage bike that has been engineered so the cast may power their own lights and sound. They constructed the text from dozens of interviews and personal stories from employees of a former car manufacturing plant that is now shut down. How interesting. How thoughtful. How scary. Doesn't seem like that future is that far away, does it?
