Everything is a bit more green these days. Al Gore has informed the world in his' well known documentary that our earth is slowly going into apocolyptic mode. Leonardo and various other A-listers are using there status to make the world a more eco-friendly world. The Eco-bug has bit almost everyone and everything in out media and cultural atmosphere. But what about fashion, can something be fashionable and also eco-friendly? It turns out that eco-fashion is the newest trend. There have been amazing developments in fabrics from the use of organic cottons to bamboo (yes, panda food!), and plastic bottles are resurected into a pair of jeans. And totes, yes totes are getting a makeover and can be used for more than just hitting up the grocery store. Totes can not only carry out day to day items, but are being created to encourage people to use plastic bags less. In the April 2008 Issue of Nylon Magazine, the magazine features some totes that are cute and friendly. John Liberson and Ethan Trask are graphic designers behind the totes Helicopter which feature, a helicopter on the tote. Another company is Loyalty and Blood owned by Maggie Dolye and David Denosowicz. Everything they create is created in Brooklyn. Their totes rang around $26-$22 and feature nature images printed on the tote. So do your share and bring your own bags to the grocery store!
