Bergh lives by his words and hasn't washed his own jeans in more than a year, reports Neha Prakash at Mashable. The executive claims that eschewing the washing machine keeps your jeans in mint condition and is better for the environment. Bergh was speaking at Fortune's Brainstorm Green conference, where business leaders discuss ways to be more sustainable. Bergh also discussed how Levi's created a line of jeans that take less water to produce. Here's a video of his comments from Fortune. In the past, Levi's has suggested freezing your jeans instead of putting them in a washing machine. The company told Elle Magazine that doing this once a month would keep jeans from smelling bad. Not washing jeans has become somewhat of a craze. TV host Anderson Cooper famously said he wears the same pair daily and only washes them once a year.

Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) is taking steps to prove its glasses are more than a gimmick. Taiwanese chip maker Himax Technologies (NASDAQ: HIMX ) announced today that Google has agreed to invest in Himax's display subsidiary to finance production of liquid crystal on silicon chips (LCOS), the same type used in Google Glass.

Himax Technologies (HIMX) has touched new highs and was trading impressively on the stock market as a result of news that it will be supplying LCOS micro displays to Google. But the stock had run ahead of its fundamentals, and investors were buying more shares under the belief that Google Glass will lead Himax to new highs. Despite a slowdown in revenue and a string of bad quarterly results, Himax shares shone. But the scene has changed now.
