Book Review: Tutu Goes Green


Tutu Goes Green by Tulani Thomas is on the shelf at Red Rooster in Harlem. Over the rare groove and coffee there's books and oddities to discuss on a rough wood bookcase. Tutu Goes Green describes perfectly the required lifestyle practices of green living in the simplest and attractive terms.

The illustrations  (by Seitu Hayden) show Tutu in environments where she was recyling, refilling her water bottle, carrying her own bag to the grocery and -well I'll just have to let you read it yourself or to a friend for the other greening strategies she employed. The delicious coffee was served in ceramic cups and the refills were piping hot. When our 3 egg omlets arrived, filled up to over flowing with yummy sauteed spinach and goat cheese, it was time to put the adorable surprise book away and have brunch!  Visit the Red Rooster for an amazing brunch with a live DJ, a kindly super smooth wait staff and biscuits from the heavens - sit at the second table from the front window near the bar. Harlem bustles with style out the big front windows onto Malcom X Blvd.  Let Tutu teach the green here.

The more people are educated about the impact the fashion industry can have on reversing global warming while also improving quality of life for people and animals (with regard to leather tanneries, meat industry and animal welfare) the more people want to support companies that are cruelty-free but also meets high-end fashion demands. MG: Have your designs been effected by your choices in material? JD: We seek out the highest quality fabrics for our shoes and handbags. The more "eco" they are, t...
