### The Birth of EcoDivas: Where Green Meets Glam

EcoDivas, the brainchild of the fabulous [Taryn Hipwell](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/12/green-living-guy-awards-taryn-hipwell-ecodivas-creator-best-green-thought-leader-for-2016/),
is revolutionizing the way we think about sustainable living. Their mission? To 
showcase the “Who’s who” and “[How-to](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/11/julie-edelman-discusses-fuel-efficiency-to-lifestyle-trends/)”
of being green. It’s a multi-layered concept that proves being eco-friendly can 
be downright divalicious!

As Taryn puts it, “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.” This
philosophy is essentially at the heart of [EcoDivas](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/01/how-to-go-green-in-a-big-way/),
thereby inspiring us all to take small steps towards a greener lifestyle. She even
got me an interview with the folks at [Livity organization](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/02/living-rising-energy-and-fashion-interconnected/).

### Upcycling Glamour at Sundance

Remember when I hit up the Sundance Film Festival back in 2010? EcoDivas was there
in full force, hosting an Upcycling party at the Green Lodge. It was a star-studded
affair that proved sustainability can be seriously stylish.

### A Lot To Say: Fashion That Speaks Volumes

One of the highlights of my chat with Taryn was learning about A Lot To Say clothing.
Their innovative AirDye technology is a game-changer, folks! By significantly reducing
water usage in the dyeing process, they’re making waves in water conservation – 
a crucial issue, especially in drought-prone areas like California.

### Livity.org: Hats Off to Sustainable Headwear

We also talked about [Livity.org](https://livityrising.com/) and their eco-friendly
hats. It’s amazing to see how sustainability is literally going to our heads!

#### The Green Living Guy’s Take

As your Green Living Guy, I’m always on the lookout for innovators in the eco-space,
and EcoDivas is hitting it out of the park. They’re proving that green living isn’t
just about sacrifice – it’s about making smart, stylish choices that benefit both
us and the planet.

#### A Well-Deserved Shoutout

It’s no wonder that I awarded Taryn Hipwell the title of Best Green Thought Leader
for 2016. Her work with EcoDivas and Beyond the Label is truly inspiring. The partnership
with TEDxLA to create the “Beyond the Label” series is just another feather in her
very green cap.

### Wrapping It Up: The Future is Green and Glam

From upcycling parties to water-saving fashion tech, EcoDivas is most definitely
showing us that the future of sustainability is bright – and fabulous! They’re also(
what I love the most) not just talking the talk; they’re walking the walk. Especially
in stylish, eco-friendly shoes.

So, whether you’re a fashionista looking to green up your wardrobe or an eco-warrior
seeking to add some glamour to your cause. It’s because EcoDivas most definitely
has got you covered. Remember, every small step counts. Why not make your next step
a glamorous one?

Stay green and divalicious from Taryn’s view. I say Stay Green! LOL

on Earth Day 2014. It’s just another example of how going green can be fun, informative,
and as well star-studded!

## EcoDivas original post

First of all, the EcoDivas purpose is to show the “Who’s who” and “How-to” of being
green. In addition, EcoDivas is a multi-layered concept that moreover highlights
the fabulous sides of being Eco and as well “Divalicious”. “As the creator of EcoDivas,
I truly believe that no one can do everything, but everyone can do something.”

In this interview we will talk about why EcoDivas started, the Upcycling party at
the Green Lodge at Sundance Film Festival, A Lot To Say clothing and also how their
AirDye technology reduces the need for water and its’ importance to the California
areas.  We also talked about Livity.org hats and more.

### Conclusion

Taryn Hipwell’s conversation with The Green Living Guy in February 2010 presents
EcoDivas as a pioneering platform that fuses glamour with sustainable living. Through
initiatives like upcycling parties at Sundance’s Green Lodge and championing innovations
such as AirDye technology with clothing brand A Lot To Say, Taryn actively demonstrated
that eco-conscious behavior can be both stylish and impactful.

Central to Taryn’s ethos is her belief that “no one can do everything, but also 
everyone can do something”.  For it’s an empowering call to action that most notably
encourages small steps toward sustainability. With EcoDivas, she created a movement
that elevated everyday eco-friendly choices into visually compelling, fashion-forward
statements.

The interview also highlights EcoDivas’ role in reshaping essentially how sustainability
is perceived. Therefore, Taryn is turning it into something inviting rather than
austere. By making green living accessible, creative, and even glamorous, Hipwell
positioned herself as a forward-thinking leader in eco-fashion.

### FINALLY!

Despite the snowstorm on the East Coast and sunshine in LA, this [lively conversation between The Green](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/09/u-s-green-building-council-and-rmi-partner-to-develop-embodied-carbon-guidelines/)
Living Guy and Taryn Hipwell brought the warmth of eco-conscious creativity to the
forefront. From Sundance to palm trees, Taryn shared how EcoDivas TV blends sustainability
with style. While many talk about going green, she lives it—making eco-fashion feel
glamorous and real. At the same time, her passion shines through with every story.
So even though the weather couldn’t be more different, the mission stays aligned:
inspire people to live greener, bolder, and more beautifully—wherever they are.
