luxury-greenWelcome to your world: Responsible Affluent Luxury. Today, luxury no longer equates oblivious wasteful abundance, rather, those of us living well above the world’s wealth median, are stepping up and double our efforts in making our planet healthy. There are no other consumers whom can demand the highest quality of green eco-friendly consumerism than those of us whom have the money to afford an extravagant lifestyle that includes substantial luxury coupled with responsible green choices.

Take a look at some of the most frequented viable green luxury hot topics and eco-responsible lifestyles that are of abundance while possessing high quality and low environmental impact. It is important to know who, what and where you can truly find the greenest luxury.

I want to offer a basic introduction for where to look and get involved with people, places and things you can trust that will provide you with exactly what you are looking for in terms of fulfilling a greener responsible way of luxury living.

First, I let’s start at home. Some of the most amazing responsibly green luxury home renovations are happening all over the world. Affluent consumers can well-afford to take this step towards a greener global community by renovating their homes.

The new brand of luxury living includes earth-friendly high quality organic food, household products, clothes, body care products and linens. Many Hollywood locals frequent Whole Foods Market, where you will find a huge selection of organic foods, vitamins, clothing, baby care and body care products all in one place.

Fashion and style need not fall by the wayside in order to live with a green conscious and actively care about our planet. Green earth-friendly fashion no longer equates the burlap sack and Birkenstocks. A long time eco-friendly designer, Stella McCartney is finally being recognized for her steadfast commitment to green luxury fashion.

One of the greatest ways affluent consumers are contributing to high-end luxury products is by purchasing an eco-friendly luxury vehicle. From Leonardo DiCaprio, who was one of the pioneers behind eco-friendly luxury vehicles, to Cameron Diaz, it is commonplace today to spot Tinsel town dwellers around town with their eco-friendly luxury vehicles.

Vacation and travel are now topping the list of green responsible living choices. Green luxury travel must include getting there by green means, staying in luxury green resorts and making green choices during travel.

Last on my list today is that of Green Giving: Knowing just who to trust and support with your generous giving while maintaining your eco-friendly commitment to the planet. Leo DiCaprio is making news here again in his efforts to spread green the world over. Keep your eye on Natural Resources Defense Council, too, for they have a huge celebrity support network.
