World Food Programme Feed Bag
It's one thing to be into saving the planet. It's a totally other to wait in line for ages to get ahold of an "It Bag" that could hold about a day's worth of groceries. With the inflated ebay prices of this year's other eco-bag, we introduce the sleeper hit of the season: World Food Programme's Feed Bag brought to you by the United Nations and the always-chic Lauren Bush (her extended family may have issues with the environment, but this gal doesn't).
Developed to handle an ample load of groceries and be comfortable, the Feed bag does more than help us eliminate the use of plastic bags. For every bag that is purchased, a child is fed in a public school for an entire year. While charity-related anything should be questioned these days (sad, but true), the World Food Programme distributes money through an UN-established charity ensuring your intention and dollars are headed in the right direction. Ample, satisfied appetites create ample minds and ample learning, proving that sustainable fashion should strive to take care of such a cause every time it strikes. The burlap bag is roomy enough for that once-a-week trip to the market, and boasts pockets for your cell, keys, and other doo-dads. Reversible, and washable, the bag is perfect for lugging around to the library, beach, or park and makes a great go-to bag to have stowed away in your car. The comfortable straps and sturdy material leave us thinking this bag will last, even through several summers and washes. Pick one up via amazon.com, but don't be surprised if it's on backorder. The good things usually are!

A Tall Glass of Water
Often I find staying chic exhaustive. This is in part because I am lazy and broke, but also because it seems to have gotten more difficult. I dress to entertain myself, and those around me, but lately it seems like a never-ending uphill struggle, tough on the checkbook, and ethically ambiguous in the age of sweatshops, environmental degredation and outsourced labor. So it’s the easy baby steps I look for—like carrying a stylish water bottle in lieu of a never ending cycle of plastic ones. It takes about 10 million barrels of oil to feed our bottled water habit, and only 23% of them get recycled.
I know, I know, you’re thinking I don’t remember when Nalgenes had a stigma, but I do—back then only hippies and outdoorsy types carried the clunky, plastic types. But after the recent spate of editorials and news articles deriding our dependence on bottled water (because it’s usually just tap water in them anyways!) the market has spoken. Now there are a slew of streamlined versions of water bottles that are anything but your former hippy roommate’s funky-smelling version. SIGG offers a variety of patterns, colors and sizes made out of a single piece of aluminum. They are lightweight and have a utilitarian-gone-chic feel to them, and there are flask versions too! If you’re a stickler for cleaning, you can purchase their custom-made bottle-cleaner. Nalgene has also upgraded, with more colors and a sleeker design. With the money you’ll save from buying all those water bottles (an average of up to $1400 annually) you can dive into an ocean of other shopping possibilities!

BMW Hydrogen 7
This is the new(ish) hydrogen powered BMW. He won't be thrilled that it's not as fast as the regular version but it's cool that he can drive a BMW and still not be killing the planet.
