Earth Angels

Earth Day events around town"Save the cheerleader, save the world."
Actually, there are easier ways to play hero this Earth Day (4/22). Some Americans will be heading to Washington, D.C. this Sunday to demand a greenhouse gas emissions cap, not too long a train ride from NYC. Others will head to global-chic shop Malgosia starting today, where pineapple fibers, organic cotton and bamboo garments will be on sale at 10%-off, with a percentage of proceeds to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Pure aluminum water bottle line Sigg Switzerland launches their "Siggart" contest this Sunday (through June 1), as well. Your design could become the newest socially conscious style celebrities like Madonna and David Beckham tote around town—admittedly not the greatest thrill, but still a way to beautify the world through recycled metal. Plus, a percentage of proceeds will go to the Surfrider Foundation. Although not specifically green, Des Kohan is also hosting a special event with designer Pegah Anvarian (design pictured here), from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. So you can save the world, one fabulous outfit at a time. Malgosia: 10%-off, Sigg: Free Entry, Des Kohan: $50-$2,000, Malgosia: 8336 W. Third St., (323) 782-9188, Sigg: mysigg.com, Des Kohan: 671 Cloverdale, (323) 857-0220
