Is there some weight on your shoulder telling you to be more environmentally friendly? There are some many ways to make small changes to your lifestyle and achieve your “green” goals. Alas, even your fashion as come to age and is looking out for ol’ mother nature.
Grasshopper 510 is a retail boutique here in Chicago. They specialize in sustainable, natural, organic, and recycled products. They have items for your home, jewelry, for your little ones, for entertaining and more. Among those products are accessories and handbags.
I found some chic bags and clutches that look like any other item, but the manufacturing process has been carefully maintained for optimal sustainability.
They also sell these great solar bags. I heard about these awhile back but they ahave yet to catch on with mainstream society. Solar bags are just like any other bag, book bag or purse, but they come with a solar panel that energizes with the sun’s rays and stores the natural energy to power up your hand held devices. Devices? Like what? You cell phone, your digital camera, your palm pilot, and your iPod are just a few of the gadget that can be attached to the USB cord that is stored inside the bag. Very cool huh? They are a little pricey, but a great sustainable investment.
If you need help keeping on the right track that also offer a newsletter that shows products and eco-news.
This business is the real deal. They explain what green means to them and the process behind choosing the name, Grasshopper 510. It’s all about being environmentally responsible.
I believe redeye named Chicago as the greenest city and we have to keep up our claim to fame.
So go on stimulate that economy and buy green.
