Ok, so technically they're yet to release a dedicated-women's line, but the new season 2009 collection from eco-friendly surf, skate, snow label Sutsu is far too striking to leave to just the lads. In shops now, Sutsu's simple T-Shirts, Hoodys and South American influenced beanies are the perfect layers to wrap up in this winter (slightly) guilt free: the Tees are made from combed Organic, in carbon-neutral factories which are accredited by the Soil Association.

Ok, so Earth Day was on Wednesday, but why not make everyday a celebration of her home? Greenpeace are asking you to just that - and take direct action to protect this beautiful planet from Climate Change, so generations to come can enjoy it too.

They're asking 2 million people to sign up as 'online activists' to help spread the word about eco awareness and Greenpeace campaigns simply by the click of a button. Sounds easy right? It is.

Be inspired with their incredible Earth Day film after the jump and sign up...

Surfers Against Sewage keep up campaign against 'mermaid tears' on UK beaches

In December 2008, Surfers Against Sewage launched a campaign to rid British coastlines of 'mermaid tears:' plastic and polystyrene pellets, the raw materials in making plastic products, that are dumped in UK waterways in their millions. These pellets litter beaches across Devon and Cornwall, as a SAS investigation discovered, but never decompose, are a threat to wildlife (who mistake them for food) and will continue to build up until factory practice changes.

Still underway, SAS ended the year with a campaign victory as the South West of England's largest plastic manufacturer, Contico Europe, agreed to implement a zero pellet loss policy. However, there's still much more work to be done until industry heads develop an official code-of-conduct for the hundreds of remaining plastic factories across the UK.

Keep reading to see the video and for details on how to get involved with the campaign...
