The $1k eco-friendly tote must have!

Okay the market is now saturated with eco-friendly totes.  Actually people if you think about it any bag that you re-use over and over can be called ECO!  I have long been over my Anya Hindmarch "I am not a plastic bag", I think I used it for two weeks before I realized this bag is more of a purse than a bag for carrying all my groceries!  And I hate how it became sooooo trendy to the point that people were missing the point of the bag's purpose!

With all that being said I have to admit that Stylehive has compiled a list w/photos of some great looking eco-totes.    What I like best about this list is that they have something for everyone in a variety of styles and price points.  Kudos to them for not thinking every green girl wants a hippy-chic cotton canvas bag (although I do have plenty) but sometimes we may want to splurge on the green glam item such as Goyard's market bag in recycled canvas; according to The Business of Fashion blog, these bags last forever - a great thing to know when you are trying to justify the $1k price tag!

Speaking of "I'm Not A Plastic Bag," I realized it really IS a fashion item when I saw knock-offs being sold in bazaars over here :)

I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the fact that so few people are talking about presidential candidates and their thoughts on global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be a bigger issue.

Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) live earth is also asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw a poll on www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot about what their next leader thinks of global warming. Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?

Here is the page where I saw the EarthLab poll: http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this like I do? No matter what your political affiliation is or who you vote for this is an important issue for our environment, our economy and for homeland security.

Hey just stopping by to get my dose of green info. Always good stuff here! Love it. I know I have mentioned this site before but I think they are pretty cutting edge so I wanted to share this page: http://www.earthlab.com/articles/EarthsVitalSigns.aspx.

I was hoping that someone could drop me a link of other reports that might tell us about how much time is left before we can’t fix global warming? EarthLab.com has a pretty could article here but I want some other opinions. Man just think how the bad will be if we don’t prevent this. EarthLab has quite a few tips on how to lower your impact, here is a spot where they list what their readers recommend: http://www.earthlab.com/life/tips.aspx.

Thanks a lot for all your info and drop me a link if you guys see anything on these subjects.

Hey thanks for the great blog, I love this stuff. I don’t usually do much for Earth Day but with everyone going green these days, I thought I’d try to do my part.

I am trying to find easy, simple things I can do to help stop global warming (I don’t plan on buying a hybrid). Has anyone seen that www.EarthLab.com is promoting their Earth Day (month) challenge, with the goal to get 1 million people to take their carbon footprint test in April? I took the test, it was easy and only took me about 2 minutes and I am planning on lowering my score with some of their tips.

I am looking for more easy fun stuff to do. If you know of any other sites worth my time let me know.
