Selena Gomez 'Dreams Out Loud' to Improve the Planet

Wizards of Waverly Place star, Selena Gomez is creating her own place among the growing number of eco-friendly celebrity clothing lines with a new line of eco chic fashion called Dream Out Loud.  The new styles, expected to launch next fall, reflect the 17-year-old Disney star's own personality and ethics - featuring feminine but tomboyish designs that can easily be mixed, matched, and customized for any occasion.  

About Selena

Besides acting, singing, and designing fashions, Selena Gomez is an active and adamant part of a variety of causes.  She is the youngest UNICEF ambassador, as well as an ambassador for DoSomething.org - an organization that encourages teenagers to make a positive difference.  Selena also supports the St. Jude's Children's Hopsital, RAISE Hope for Congo (raising awareness for violence against women in the Congo), and Friends for Change, Disney's charity to promote environmental issues.  

About Dream Out Loud

Hats, jeans, skirts, and jackets are just a few of the designs planned for Selena Gomez's new fashion line.  Floral prints, boho dresses, and cute accessories will feature eco-friendly fabrics including recycled materials as well as organic cotton.  To complete her desire to send a good message through her clothing line, the product tags will boast inspirational quotes from Selena's own collection.  Marketing and manufacturing of the Dream Out Loud brand is already underway, but it is still unclear what retailer will carry the line when it launches in 2010.

Arrive in Style with an Eco-Friendly Chauffeur Service

Whether you're due to arrive at an exciting party or you're spending the night on the town - luxury and environmental concern go hand in hand with these eco-friendly chauffeur services! OZOcar Jordan Harris, a co-owner of OZOcar, originally got the idea for a fleet of stylish and more environmentally friendly vehicles in 2002. He launched 'Green Car to the Red Carpet,' a campaign that was designed to convince celebrities to think twice when booking their transportation to special events. Rather than taking the usual stretch limos, he urged these celebs to choose transportation that was less harsh on the environment. He partnered with Roo Rogers, who was equally concerned about the planet and carbon emissions - and the result was a fleet of cars that were more environmentally friendly while providing luxury and style - OZOcar. Featured in major publications and media like CNN, Vanity Fair, The New York Times and Travel and Leisure - OZOcar has certainly been making waves. OZOcar is based in New York, but Roo and Jordan have plans to expand the company in order to make environmentally friendly and luxurious transportation choices available to a larger clientele base. The fleet is made up of predominately Toyota and Lexus hybrids, with the default car being a Prius. Clients enjoy high speed wireless internet and Sirius satellite radio in OZOcar vehicles, as well as the Apple iBook - present in every vehicle - and a complementary welcome pack featuring natural treats and amenities. EcoLimo Across the country, based in Los Angeles, EcoLimo provides a similar service. Founded by Y. Fray, these natural gas and hybrid vehicles have become the best option for celebrities heading out to red carpet events. In fact, High School Musical star Zac Efron made headlines when he chose EcoLimo to get him to the 2007 Teen Choice Awards. The green transportation's client list is long and impressive - from Charlize Theron and Leo DiCaprio to Steven Spielburg and Laurie David. EcoLimo now has offices in both Washington DC and Las Vegas, so individuals in those areas have an excellent choice when they need to show up in style but don't want to compromise their concern and care about the environment. EcoLimo's fleet features the Toyota Prius, as well as Chevy Suburbans that have been modified to run on compressed natural gas. Before heading out to your next big event, consider your transportation choice and give one of the above companies a call. Eco-friendly and luxury - it's what we love!
