June 3, 2010 –\u00a0<\/strong>The warm evening air at an estate in Watermill, NY pulsed with the beat of DJ Tyger Lilly, as guests munched on hors d\u2019oeuvres, sipped summer cocktails and chatted about summer plans. The Social Life Magazine Memorial Day kickoff<\/strong> event drew an elite gathering of Hampton locals and those in for the weekend festivities, including featured celebs Matt Lanter of the new 90210 series and Sara Canning of Vampire Diaries. Among the memorably dressed guests, one young man draped in a sequin-encrusted floor-length jacket, topped it all off with some serious neck bling and sunglasses worn even in the fading light.<\/p>\n

Read on to get a sense\u2013from the tanned and tippled partygoers\u2014of the green movement in the Hamptons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve actually changed my client\u2019s lives. I work with B. Spoke Tailor and try to make my canvasses green for the environment; I communicate with the mill in Italy to produce greener products. That\u2019s really how I\u2019ve been trying to make a change, through clothes. The hot places this summer are going to be private homes, but a big club is Axe Lounge, which is a hot spot in Southampton.\u201d

\u201cOne green thing that I did today\u2026I threw away my bottled water into a recycling bin. That\u2019s a cool thing that I think we should all do more of. Back home in LA, they actually provide everybody with recycling bins, so it\u2019s really nice. We opened all the windows [at the hotel] and let the natural air flow through.\u201d His publicist adds, \u201cAnd we totally carpooled here.\u201d
\n\u2014Matt Lanter, actor, 90210 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have an engineering company and we invent a variety of products in different industries and we really put a lot of effort in the green movement in a different kind of way. Right now we\u2019re creating musical instruments with a green component. It\u2019s going to be like a party favor and instead of throwing stuff out you can actually plant it.\u201d
\n\u2014Eric Koenig, inventor, President of Koe Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s really exciting is that the younger generation is very conscious of the environment and that\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s an awareness that wasn\u2019t around before and it\u2019s very striking now. It\u2019s a positive difference and I think it\u2019s great to have vehicles that are environmentally conscious, and lots of\u00a0 development in that area, even in the Hamptons, where I\u2019ve seen a lot of solar paneling, which is great. It [greening of the magazine] is one things that we\u2019re looking into that I would love to do.\u201d
\n\u2014Devorah Rose, Editor-in-chief of Social Life<\/em> Magazine<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough to integrate to be honest with you. To do it is a difficult thing. You have to think about it and you have to find out how to go green without it affecting the quality. I think it\u2019s going to take some time. The thing is, I really have a great interest in green energy, especially the green credits that they have. But to integrate it into a publication is very difficult, but we will be trying to do it a little bit more.\u201d
