Ultimately, it’s all about seeding green ideas with less is more minimalism… from prom décor, organic eateries and alternative transportation to fresh thoughts and crowd sourcing from their online teen video contest for greening your prom…or greening your graduation for that matter. Bay Area it’s worth the visit to see their massive display of natural alternatives in skincare, make up, and their own TTG Collection the teens have created and marketed exclusively via Whole Foods Market. Their PGP shop, (below) is staged like an elegant haute couture boutique, only with gorgeous gowns in the $20 and $30 price-point recycled from prior formal affairs! (I even zipped into a few myself, to see if I could support the cause with some green) (stay tuned sworn to secrecy here, mum’s the word…but it’ll be right up there with the lead in lipstick and dirty thirty campaign)

Sure does hold true…It was inspiring to see Judi with the teens “in action” planning events full tilt to wrap up prom season in the next couple of weeks…AND to hear them plot their next eco-shenanigans to create a well-warranted stir.
“Once you have a mission, you can’t go back to having a job.” Lo and behold, co-founder Judi Shils was holding their weekly Sunday meeting with the teens as I entered! No rest for the “mother of a movement” I suppose! I missed their big opening bash on April 30, (Flickr photos here) due to my doggie’s demise, sigh, but at least I got to pop in on Mother’s Day…
Summer will be at the Teens Turning Green Project Prom Shop this weekend, May 16 to share beauty secrets, sign books, and hang out with the green teens on hand for green spa mini-treatments. Outside magazine listed her as one of the “Top Environmental Activists” and Vanity Fair has named her a “Global Citizen,” and of course, the whole eco-model angle has had her gracing the pages of Glamour, Allure and other fashion rags with strategic aplomb. Like teen change agent Sejal Hathi I wrote about awhile back, Summer Rayne (at left) is making good on her vision using media as her mouthpiece for change. Kirsten walks the walk on green living (she was key in the Arbor Day real tree planting from virtual ones in Dizzywood) so she may want to show up Sat., May 16 to meet Summer Rayne, one of CNN’s “Young People Who Rock,” eco-model, author, and on-air correspondent for Planet Green. Kirsten Bollen (eco-mom gal pal) lives in Marin, so she assured me she’d be able to get them to the Teens Turning Green “pop-up store” created for prom/graduation season long before PGP closes June 1 in one big loop from her work environs at Oodle. I stopped by to see the Project Green Prom boutique and see how their ‘how to green your prom’ initiative was doing, and forgot to bring the gowns we’ve collected so far at the Greenv Sustainable Center! I feel like I dropped the ‘carbon offset’ ball with my trek to WildCare on Mother’s Day…
