The green life of Tatjana Patitz
Along with Naomi, Linda, Cindy, she was one of the tops of the 80. Without stopping the shootings, she now prefers a life in nature's California ranch in the middle of his horses. Interview.
Since when are you environmentally conscious?
I lived in a family affected by the ecology is so tiny that I gained consciousness green. But in traveling the world for my modeling career that my desire to act on the planet has increased. Installing me in California, Malibu, 1988 I really started to adopt a greener lifestyle.
What is your first step "green" of the day?
I recycle! It's simple and very useful.
At home, everyone eats organic?
I try as much as possible to feed my son as well. In Malibu, I like going to a restaurant and bio Plate, Los Olivos, near Santa Barbara, Los Olivos Cafe. I would recommend them! My parents live in France, Dordogne. When I'm home, I'm sure I eat. Same when I'm visiting my brother in Sweden is a country where there are a lot of organic products.
Where do you shop?
I'm always with my bags shopping at Trader Joe's to large full. It is a chain of stores where there are natural products, no GMO, no trans fats, no preservatives ... In terms of fresh produce daily, I favor local producers. Where I live, there are a lot of farms where you can buy directly off. I make every effort to buy local and seasonal.
Do you take baths ?
Yes, I admit that I find hard to do without baths in winter. In summer, I just showers.
Do you buy cosmetics?
I really like the idea, but I think it still lacks efficiency. I await the natural brand that will convince me. I now find it difficult to give the results I get with products in sophisticated technology. I really like Shiseido, for example, and I am delighted today to be the face of their line for forty-somethings, Benefiance Wrinkle Resist.
How do you travel?
I walk a lot and I most often use my bike, but as I live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, I can not live without a car.
The place that boosts your core green?
Once I pass my door, I find myself in the great outdoors in my campaign!
What is not green to you?
The essence of my car, and I still do not buy organic clothing.
Being green without falling into fundamentalism, it is possible?
It's like everything, it fautsavoir be moderate, which means acting as best we can. If every day we manage to fix something "green" to do is already a victory.
What would you give to save the planet?
If I could, I would drop the car and I travel on horseback (I have four), but I'm not sure to get everywhere on time!
