It is great when we get to see celebrities visiting their local eco friendly stores; it gives us a sense of belonging to a wider community. In this case, it is the actress Amy Smart who was spotted with her family in a Chicago eco store Method.
Just in case the some people may feel that she just popped in there for a quick photo opportunity, it appears that she filled up a couple of reusable tote bags with plenty of goodies such as Go Naked wipe

These bags have a unique idea, which sees them rolled up into a tennis ball sized bundle when not in use, but when required these bags can fit in a whole load of shopping and some extra bags too.
Features:
Single handle, compact reusable shopping bag
Handle easily slips over shoulder to carry bag
A shoulder pad keeps heavy loads feeling light.
Bag collapses into a stretchy nylon ball bag
The ball is 3” in diameter, about the size of a peach.

Why? Because it is sturdy, strong, durable and ver

Kemp is one of the incredible materials that has a variety of uses, in fact it is so versatile that it’s no wonder that designers are using it to produce some fantastic designs which are not only desirable and great looking they are also green.

The Bag ladies make a whole range of bags, but fortunately, they have just introduced an eco friendly range which counter acts the other styles that they make.

These particular bags are made from recycled paper and as such are in fact 100% recyclable too, they have those twisted paper handles which are strong and have little touch of style in there, as this is a favourite of the past, they are available in four different sizes and can be cust

One of the things i like about the Hemp fiber in bags is its sturdiness. Hemp bags tend to be stronger and more durable than cotton bags, and some canvas bags.
At OkoBox, they feature a reusable hemp grocery bag which apart from being sturdy is priced very reasonably at $8. The design it not bad either. The hemp grocer is perfect for trips to the local market or quick runs to the dry cleaner.

For some women, there is nothing like a nice new handbag. However, even with some of the designer labels, there can be questions as to where they are made and by whom. Therefore, there is only one way to get that designer look and feel, but without the worry… have one made!
Now you are thinking that a handmade handbag is going to cost a fortune, but it does not have to be so. Balenciaga has been making bags just like this for a while n

New line of eco friendly solar bags have hit the market. Sakku Solar Bags aside from harnessing the power of the sun to juice up electronics and gagdets, is also made using recycled wind sail material.
This is great for many reasons, first instead of having the wind sail cloth end up in landfills, it is re-used and re-purposed into something useful and funky. The solar recycled bags are currently only available in the UK, but plans are in the wo

There are plastic bags and then there are plastic bags, some are better than others which means that there is a battle of the bags going on.

The Prime Line Packaging EPI and D2W bags are marginally more green than the average plastic bag; this is mainly due the fact that these bags actually have a better biodegradable property. However, the main reason that these bags are popular is because stars like Lindsey Lohan are seen out in public

popping up and that is size. Some green bags are just not up to task when it comes to size, so it is ok to be green but you cannot get anything in your bag.

It is a great concept when something is used to store another item; it saves space and just generally makes the whole product look both cool and exciting. However, when it comes to a product call the Trolly Dolly by ZPM then usability takes on a new meaning.

It is funny how designers can take non-feminine looking materials like army blankets, ground sheets and even webbing and turn them into something that is unmistakably feminine like a handbag. this bag made out of reused materials comes to the public through Jack and Marjorie. The bag has a kind of eco chique to it, as the shades of greens and browns are blended to form a medium sized designer bag.

It is possible these days to be both stylish and eco friendly at the same time, if you are diligent about your habits. A good way to think eco friendly 24/7 is to carry your favorite eco friendly bag around with you at all times. When you get the urge to buy something, you can omit the wasteful plastic shopping bag. This eliminates extra waste and the process of having to dispose of the plastic bags yourself.

What a revolutionary idea Terra Cycle has come up with, for all of us to not only deter soda plastic bottles from ending in the local landfill, but also in turn create NEW! products, and get paid for it.
With The Bottle Brigade Program available through Terra Cycle, you can sign up to collect soda plastic bottles, and get paid .06 per bottle, which will go to a charity of your choice, either a school or organization. If you don’t have a ch

It is an interesting concept, where plastic bags, which are the eco friendly public enemy number one, can be transformed into some great pieces of jewellery.
The material is pleated and held together with old buttons to add to the recycled effect. The set consists of earrings - $20, cuff bracelet - $20 and necklace - $24 all these items are available from The Natural Store.
