I shot this editorial back in November in Tennessee and man it was cold (look it my goosebumps though my smile belies how fricking freezing I was!) You may remember from my video clips from The Model Diaries here.

Positively Green hits the shelves
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009what peculiar prop did Summer Rayne bring to Hearst’s ‘Heart of Green’ Awards?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009The Daily Green has all the videos, photos and acceptance speeches from the inaugural “Heart of Green” Awards and festivities – but you can take a quick peek at some of the photos and acceptance speech below. I do definitely want to thank Hearst again for the award and the beautiful ceremony. Highlights from that night: Greg Perry, the school teacher, brought everybody to their feet. He’s fought paralysis, cancer and continues to plug away at the green message with his students by helping build the most environmental public school system from the inside out; talking with Bob Woodruff and commending him for his comprehensive coverage of PowerShift09.org; and meeting Constance, Libby, etc. the Green Team over at E-Bay.
What else is groovy? I have the actual Heart of Green award sitting on the top shelf of my driftwood cabinet next to the Cosmopolitan “Fun, Fearless Female” Award. I like when the sunlight enters the room because it hits the glass in a way that makes them dazzle in the white light. The sun doesn’t have quite the same effect on my bug net, but . . . all objects weren’t created equally…
Heart of Green Awards hits Hearst Tower
Saturday, April 25th, 2009
On April 23rd, 2009 I headed to the Hearst Towers for the First Annual “Heart of Green” Awards. It was a small ceremony sponsored by Ebay’s Green Team, whom I had a pleasure of meeting. A private dinner followed afterwards, which was really nice. I struck up a conversation with Bob Woodruff on the climate change rally forming on Capitol Hill the following day.
Winners included: Frances Beinecke of NRDC (Lifetime Achievement); Greg Perry (Local Hero) and so inspirational; Roger Doiron who inspired Michelle Obama to plant an organic garden at the White House (Groundbreaker); Deirdre Imus (The Guardian); Summer Rayne Oakes (The Pathfinder); NYC (The Visionary); Planet Green (The Influencer); Gloria Reuben (The Truth Teller) for WaterKeeper; Alicia Silverstone (The Eco-Original) for her vegan ways; and Maria Menounos (The Star Connection).
For the fashion fiends: I’m wearing a re-created vintage dress by Douchette Duval; vegan heels by Charmone; necklace by Ecco-Domani award winner Monique Pean; sustainably-harvested wood bangle by a.d. schwarz; and a vintage silk bag that I picked up at a local Brooklyn vintage shop that has recently closed
