Style on Sale: New Year's Resolution # 1

The weather’s beginning to make me feel real guilty for my unfriendly environmental actions. Unconscious reprimands have seemingly come from every direction from Al Gore to the intern at my office, Gio: “Go Green” “Green Go”…those words taunt me every time I toss my plastic Poland spring water bottle in the garbage. Yes, I’m guilty as charged. But beginning 2008, I’m turning a new leaf; I’m taking my first step into going green.

We all know those damn plentiful non bio degradable plastic bags do no good. And saving them to use as garbage bags or as emergency shower caps (lol) only helps a little bit, so my 08’ promise is to decrease my use. In it's place will be a canvas eco-friendly tote bag.

Arguably the most “popular” eco-friendly bag….

The official Anya Hindmarch, ”I’m not a plastic bag.” Created to shun the plastic bag and make it non-fashionable. This $58.00 ($10.00 for the U.K. version) bag has been soooo popular that the U.S. version is currently sold out, you have to signup for the newsletter for information on when you can get your name on a pre-order list AND you can now find numerous knock offs on Ebay. Somethings telling me that this trend is defeating the purpose. Is it that serious people? You see a few celebs wear the bag and now it’s a must have? I mean, it’s not like proceeds go to some charitable cause…seriously.

Another eco-friendly option is to go for a bag with a great cause...
