In recent years green- style living has become a major hit among popular culture. In fact, our popular culture class is a green course in which we participate, prepare assignments, and interact electronically which saves paper, and thus, protects the environment. Therefore, I decided to take a glance at other various eco- friendly trends including tree huger fashion and beauty items becoming popular among today’s society.
Ever hear of handmade shopping bag wallets? Owner and Designer Blain Kennedy, "Blank Entity," developed a way to reuse plastic bags without the additive of extra toxic materials.
I also came across Not Any Dye Applied (NADA) jackets created by Trail space and Merrell. According to http://www.treehugger.com/fashion_beauty/ NADA “uses 59 percent less carbon dioxide, 86 percent less water, 63 percent fewer chemicals, and 59 percent less energy compared to a conventionally-dyed jacket.”
Furthermore, customers shopping in food stores have reverted to employing reusable carriers for their groceries. Such salvaged bags are employed right here in Baltimore, Maryland at the local Mount Washington “Whole Foods Market” and Towson’s specialty groce
ry store, “Trader Joes.” Similarly, one bag I came across on the green website was the “Green Eyed Monster" reusable bags with audience-generated art decorating the outsides, are larger than typical canvas bags (15" X 18" X 4") and are made from 100% recycled materials.”
