"Green T" wears her recycled, re-used vintage suit from Back-In-Style to interview the 2010 Miss America contestants. Sheffield MacIntyre of Back-In-Style gives "Green T" advice on how to dress "greenly" and still look fashionable. Seven-million tons of clothing & textiles get dumped into municipal landfills each year. Wearing recycled clothing can make a big difference.

In 2007, Tamara covered the EMA Environmental Media Assn Awards for her eco-spiritual talk show on Time Warner Cable TV - LA. You can see the video on her blog at http://www.TamaraHenry.blogspot.com
