The Magic Wheel
We are in an age where being eco-friendly also includes that of looking for conservative yet healthy ways to get to the office. Apparently, there have been wild ideas outside the usual public transportation that is being groomed today. While crazy as it may seem, here is a modern yet logical way of going to the office. It is the Magic Wheel, which promises to give you a smooth ride to the office.

I love this sexy side tie organic cotton tank set by eco designer Clare Bare. It is always nice to find a vintage set that is also eco friendly.
This adorable vintage fabric set features an adjustable side tie top and bloomer style bottoms. The top is loose fitting with organic cotton twill ties, and thrifted white lace along the bottom edge. The bottoms have lace along the bottom edge of the hips. The fabric is vintage cotton, and the bottoms a

Some celebrities go all out and support various causes and put their money where their mouth is. Then there is Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gwyneth Paltrow Wearing (And Promoting) FUR
Ms. Paltrow who is in the uber popular Summer flick Iron Man, is a vegetarian/vegan who cares about what she puts in her mouth. But apparently doesn’t give a hoot when it comes to fashion that is cruel on animals.

Banana Republic is a familiar clothing fashion line that most of us have run into from recent years. Today, most clothing and fashion companies have employed that eco-friendly additive to allow them to remain competitive and within the borders of consumer demand today.
A lot of the standards being set today lay heavily on the components of most clothing materials as well as the manner to which they are packaged and distributed. Banana Republic

There is so much trash around these days that some people are actually getting down to doing something about it. In this case it is the Trashy Bags people from Ghana, West Africa, who are cleaning up in more ways than one.
As the organisation motto reads, “Our bags are complete trash” which is a pretty good statement.
They collect as many of the plastic drink bottles that have been discarded throughout the country of Ghana. They then so

These colourful floral bags, have been designed by the British designer Stella McCartney, these are called eco friendly bags which are made from faux leather etc, but that would apparently be the only claim to being green, nothing else.
There are two styles a bucket bag and the regular hand bag, there are no details on prices etc and really we wouldn’t expect that anyhow would we? One thing is for sure they are not going to be cheap.

There is one great that happens when there is an end to a war, surplus! There is loads of kit and equipment just waiting to be picked up at knock down prices and in this there was a surplus of WWII military tents, now these are rugged and fully water proofed.
So if you are looking for a tough pair of trousers which will last for a long time, then you would not go far wrong with these Bivvy Trousers. With heavy stitching and large pockets they

The best way to get to know what latest fashion trends are being followed today is through fashion shows. New Delhi, a so-called “shallow” fashion conscious environment, has adapted towards the need to go green and apparently a lot of this shall be showcased during the India Fashion Week with a variety of eco-friendly collections.

There has been a revolution going on in the bag industry, what with shopping bags being given the cold shoulder, now it seems that even those very eco friendly cotton bags could have new rival that has claims to being a more eco friendly bag.
The Brown Paper Bag has been designed by Giles Miller; he uses recycled and sustainably corrugated cardboard with a touch of leather and chrome just to finish it off nicely. But if you are worried about t

Plastic bags are in the news again with the UK government trying to persuade people to less plastic shopping bags and in response several popular High St store chains have elected to stop giving away free plastic bags. Which is a great thing because it has been estimated that over a million birds and sea mammals are killed each year from being caught up in or by eating plastic that has been away.

Whenever we hear the use of fur coats, we program our minds to automatically point towards animals killed for the pleasure of providing high-end clothing for stylish individuals in the world today. However, the price to pay for sacrificing animals for the satisfaction of petty want by people should be something that people may want to study once again.
Animals serve more than one purpose and by all means, not all people need fur coats to make a

There was a time when buying anything eco friendly was so expensive that only the wealthy could afford such things.
But now the choice is so great and the amount of stores that are stocking this type of bedding that the prices have now come down the more reasonable levels which means being eco friendly does not necessarily have to break the bank and the designs are so great too.
