Just in time for Earth Day 2008, we figured it was time to find some items that don’t deplete the earth of more of our natural resources or pollute our landfills. So we searched for repurposed and sustainable materials that are produced in fair trade, sweatshop-free environments. It’s time we all thought a little differently about the things we buy, how they are made, and where they come from.
-Second City StyleWe thought eco-chic meant really-ugly too, but these finds should dispel those fears. Besides, it’s chic to be eco-friendly these days…and we’re all about chic!
