I'm Not A Plastic Bag, I'm Not A Plastic...


Ebay is selling 700+ Anya Hindmarch famous eco-friendly bags. So if you missed your change to get one, you can pick one up on the rebound! Some are knockoffs, but most are authentic. You can choose from the UK -brown version or the US-navy version. I'm still thinking of nabbing one just for the fun of it. But for some reason, I don't really want to be seen in public with it. Why is that?

Under the Canopy

Under the Canopy was born in 1996 with a mission to make a positive impact on the future of the planet, creating a product line that utilizes the Earth's resources in an ecofriendly, sustainable manner. Our line of EcoFashion offers only the most sophisticated, luxurious, high quality, comfortable and fashionable styles. Our products are made from innovative organic fibers and fiber blends such as organic denim, organic cotton angora and soy. Our newly launched, cutting-edge Organic Tee collection, "108", offers 18 soulful taglines on 6 nature-inspired colors.

The way we see it, we all live under the canopy of our planet's ecosystem. Pollutants and harsh chemicals that need not go into the production of clothing erode this fragile canopy every day. Through designing a line of clothing made from environmentally friendly fibers that were sown and grown without the use of these chemicals, we offer consumers a chance to eliminate large quantities of pesticides from their bodies, their homes, the Earth, and their children's futures.

Grace Cello


Grace Cello out of Montreal, provides stylish basics that are sustainable. Their a group of thinking people who have more than just design on their minds, they're working in the context of building an eco-city:

commerce can be as enjoyable and healthy an experience as one intends it to be. the problem being that most commerce nowadays is big commerce, and it seems that as things get big ethics become a very small concern.

we are small, however; just a few people working to contribute to a more interesting vision of the world, where design can be beautiful while at the same time conscious of the environment it is embedded in, and the people depended upon to do business.
