GREENS LIKE FASHION, TOO: The New York Times Home section last week focused on "freegans," a group who decorate their homes (and sometimes themselves) with other people's castoffs. But the Prada-Louboutin-wearing set can still be environmentally friendly, too — which is why Hearst Magazines' Web contribution to the "green revolution," The Daily Green, has launched a fashion blog for all those people who want to look nice but not kill trees. Writer Starre Vartan, who is the founder and editor of Eco-chick.com, will provide commentary on the latest trends and products in green fashion and beauty. A spokeswoman for The Daily Green said the site, which had its beta-launch on Earth Day, will hold its official launch sometime in the fall. — A.W.
