TreeHugger welcomes Summer Rayne Oakes
by Summer Rayne Oakes 
on 10. 1.07
Summer Rayne Oakes is an entomologist and environmental scientist by training. In 2000, she slung her hiking boots to her travel pack and embarked on a journey of cause-related modeling to push sustainability issues through fashion and media. Oakes' work spans multiple disciplines, all of which are deeply imbued in environmental research. Her studies in organic contaminants & environmental health, mine reclamation, rain forest regeneration, invasive species, landscape impact analysis, aquatic entomology, sustainable development, and green jobs overlap with her modeling with a cause, for which she is largely recognized.
She is now a resident expert and advisor for Discovery Network's new channel, Planet Green and Treehugger.com. She travels the world as a model, consultant, and spokesperson, assisting companies, organizations, and events on sustainability issues,
while always adding a little of her own personal style. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for her first book on sustainable fashion and beauty coming out this December-January entitled, "Style, Naturally: The Global Guide to Sustainable Style & Beauty."
