Green Shopping Bags

May 7th, 2008

Green, green, green. Doom, doom, gloom. There sure have been a lot of reports about our conspicuous consumption lately, but I understand, trust me. Sometimes you just want to consume and not feel as though you’re poisoning shore birds or chipping icebergs while you’re at it.

Good news. You don’t have to. Thanks to an active web and some new 2.0, the environment and your credit card don’t have to be enemies. Sites such as the webzine/guide/community Treehugger, with its forums, videos, and eco-friendly shopping recommendations make your green (dollars) a little greener. Perhaps it’s the influence of their informative and modernist sensabilty, but TreeHugger and the like-minded website Inhabitat are absorbing webservices you won’t want to leave.
For the shopper that likes the remix comes the webservice that puts clothes back on the market, Rehash. At Rehash users post clothes they no longer wear, and swap or hunt for that missing piece of worn-chic. Benefit from the downsizing of others, or alternatively benefit from downsizing at Rehash.

No write up of green shopping would be complete without a bow to the reusable canvas bag, the environmentally friendly accessory that puts the owner in an enviable state of smugness. But why settle for just any hemp weave? Put your own design on all natural bag at the customizable ecommerce site, CafePress.
