Being environmentally responsible is a necessity. Thankfully
companies across the board have stepped it up by offering
excellent eco-chic options.
Stylish and sturdy, these reusable bags will tote twice as much as a traditional grocery shopper. The new organic bamboo series is completely biodegradable and sustainable. Envirosax bags in nylon, $7.95, and organic bamboo/linen, $24.95, visit www.greygourmet.com or email penny@greyfourmet.com for
locations across the city.
Vegan-bag heroes Matt & Nat have taken their eco-friendly objective to the next level, using nylon fabric made of recycled plastic water bottles in their Re-Run collection. Garbage never looked so good! $140, Browns Shoes,

This sweet alternative to a plastic bin is cute enough for the counter and won’t stain, or smell—thanks to charcoal filters in the
lid. President’s Choice kitchen compost bin, about $10,
available at The Real Canadian Superstore, www.pc.ca.
Perfect for apartment-dwelling green thumbs, this all-natural mini garden will sprout flavour-packed heirloom cherry tomatoes on your windowsill. Eco-culture indoor tomato garden, about $20, available at Chapters locations and Lola Boutique, 2090 Corydon Avenue, 896-5652, www.seracon.ca.
