Hopefully the Eco Trend sticks around longer than most fads. Here are some ways that the Eco Trend is reflecting on the stores around you that has become fashionable.
- Reusable Grocery Bags
Use Trader Joe's $.99 bags in place of paper or plastic...and make worlds of a difference. This fad has popped up everywhere and I think it is catching on with the mainstream which is benefiting our environment and they are cute:) Or you can make your own by buying a LL Bean tote and adding your initials.
2. Resale Clothing
Recycle clothing at your nearby Second Hand Store like:
Buffalo Exchange, Twice as Nice, Class Act Resale Boutique, or Classic Findz Consignment Boutique. Take your clothes and see if you can get money and let someone else enjoy your past loves or trade. Either way you make out with something great and you are not wasting perfectly good clothes.
3. Shop at Eco Friendly stores that sell items that are fab for the environment.
Some that I have heard of and will check out soon are:
Toque de Pasion which sells fair trade fashion and organic cotton-there are a lot of great cultural pieces like wraps, beaded handbags and an array of vibrant clothing.

Bon also has organic cotton jeans by Loomstate and Limited Additions has some great recycled purses made of candy wrappers! You can also find bags made from recycled vinyl billboards (by Vy and Elle, a company based out of Tucson!) at Bohemia in the lost barrio off Broadway...plus don't forget places that sell used clothing like thrift stores and resale shops - that's recycling, too!
