Whoa...Martha's going green. Ran across Elizabeth Hurley and Evelyn Lauder on Martha Stewart today (yes, I do watch occasionally - she recycles a lot, what can I say?). Liz is going all organic in her new farm endeavors and Evelyn Lauder was on to promote involvement with breast cancer awareness. Totally psyched that Martha has a little green going on, actually the whole week is filled with eco peeps, product and eco-tips.
I was lucky enough to meet Evelyn Lauder several years ago while working at Nordstrom. She was doing a trunk show of the latest and greatest Lauder product. But she was also raising awareness for breast cancer. In fact, a good half of her time was devoted to breast cancer and half of that time was dedicated to the environmental links to breast cancer. Needless to say I was very impressed. I got a chance to speak with the Lauders at a lecture later that afternoon and actually asked them their thoughts on some of the evidence on environmental links to breast cancer.
Later on a trip to NYC in my role as Sustainable Business & Development at Nordstrom I got a chance to speak to several senior managers at Lauder on the topic as well. Again, very impressed with their knowledge and committment. The last thing I'll mention on Evelyn Lauder, she put together a beautiful book of nature photographs called "An Eye for Beauty". The photographs are truly stunning. It's good to know someone of Mrs. Lauder's position not only finds beauty and inspiration in nature but also understands key elements of the environmental challenges facing our world.
