Ecological Misson

Eco1stArt.com is a website featuring the most stunning eco friendly items on the planet. Inspired by Jane Goodall, Ed Begley Jr., Pierce Brosnan, Jim Belushi etc. to only present recycled and sustainable fine art, furniture, jewelry and apparel. This website is intended for the Green Movement and efficient uses of our resources, for the artist to sell their work - thus income, and philanthropic donations to help save the world. It is a social commentary, highlighting our disposable mentality towards objects - trying to make efficient use of our resources - which are not infinite.

Masters of a Plastic Universe

It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world. Expecting more novelty than there is, more greatness than there is, and more strangeness than there is, we imagine ourselves masters of a plastic universe. But a world we can shape to our will is a shapeless world.  by Daniel J. Boorstin

Buyer Beware Eco NOT

The Green Movement is growing but are all these manufacturers truly friends of the environment?  While protecting our environment it is essential not to be fooled by false claims.  A recent Twitter post caught our attention;
  • So very New York! Step into Madison Avenue. This white and beige horn cuff is carved from naturally shedded buffalo horn from Africahttp://tinyurl.com/EcoNOT

When do buffalo shed their horns? They don't. Their horns are permanently on their heads just like the horns are on a bull or cow. African buffalo are threatened by habitat loss and hunting pressures ( IUCN Antelope Specialist Group, 2008).
