At the 83rd Academy Awards, actor Colin Firth not only stole the show with accolades for his The King’s Speech performance but for his eco-friendly attire.

As always, Firth and his wife Livia donned environment-friendly outfits at the Oscars and this year they did it up recycled style in order to raise awareness for recycled fashion.

Livia, who founded Fairtrade boutique Eco Age, wore an amazing paneled gown recycled from old dresses on the red carpet while Colin made a Tom Ford suit made of ethical materials look better than good!

“It defies what you normally see on the red carpet. It’s really beautiful – it’s pretty but also has a message,” said Livia.

Wow, talk about a big problem that may soon be over for good. Tokyo-based company Globeride Inc. is in the works to create a specialized fishing line that dissolves in water.

The strong filament is a huge leap in fishing technological innovation and we can’t wait to this fishing line in full effect.  Made of a special plastic that would dissolve in water in an average of five years, no longer will our waters have to abide with the long-lasting fishing line malice.

“The time it takes depends on water temperature and other conditions, but it usually dissolves completely in five years,” said Tokuo Ichikawa, a developer on the project.

The impetus for developing an environment-friendly fishing line came five years ago when Ichikawa, 53, and his colleagues took part in recovering discarded fishing line and sinkers underwater at Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture. A small truck full of garbage, including fishing gear, is collected at the lake every day.

“Garbage you find on the ground should be removed out of common decency, but garbage left underwater should be taken away by companies,” Ichikawa said.

Wow, it looks like Mr. Peanut is packing a brand new bag!  Planter’s Mr. Peanut is now riding in eco-friendly style with an all new green machine.

The nutty company plans to unveil the new Nutmobile in LA tonight at the 8th Annual Global Green Pre Oscar Party.   Mr. Peanut’s new ride features biodiesel technology alongside solar panels, LED interior lighting, recycled parts, reclaimed wood flooring and a wind turbine based on a 2011 Isuzu NPR box truck.

After being “seen” in LA, Mr. Peanut will take his new wheels to New Orleans as his second stop on the “Naturally Remarkable” tour. In New Orleans, Planter’s will be building peanut-shaped recreational spaces on abandoned urban lots.

“I’m a peanut, naturally, so sustainability is important to me. When you live in the soil for extended periods of time, you realize that it’s important to make sure where you come from – the earth – stays clean and green.” – Mr. Peanut, Planter’s Spokesperson

While actor Colin Firth has been running around collecting awards for his amazing role in 2010′s The Kings Speech, his lovely wife Livia has been busy on a project of her own.

The 41-year-old eco-store owner has challenged herself to wear only environmentally-sustainable styles for the recent premieres and red carpet events she’s been attending with hubby Colin.

The mother-of-two’s outfits have not only been eco-friendly but sartorially dazzling, too. Livia, who has a blog on Vogue.com entitled The Green Carpet Challenge, says: ‘It was an opportunity for me to think… not just about the aesthetic appeal of clothes – obviously that’s important on the red carpet – but their structure, manufacture and lifespan, too.’

Man, Colin certainly got luck with Livia, keep it rockin in the green world!
