Besides, plastic totally clashes with your outfit
Paper or plastic? As if. BYOB is tote-ally hip: this burlap FEED sack recently made its way to NYC's Fashion Week on the shoulder of Lauren Bush (yes, that Bush). And even waifish Keira Knightley can carry the I'm Not a Plastic Bag bag.

Elle's belle
Dear Rachel McAdams, we had no idea you were such a celebrimentalist. You biked to your Elle interview? In a dress made of soy? To talk about green reef burials and buying your father a composter?

Sporting wood at the gym is about as socially acceptable as pulling an Elaine in the sauna room. Unless, of course, you're pining after g=9.8's sportywear made from eco-friendly recycled wood fibers. It's hot enough to keep your fellow runners going long after the lights go out.
Talk about energy conservation
It's official: you can drink beer and save the world. And thanks to this dude, you don't even have to get off the couch to do it.
Seen something weird, wacky, or wonderful in the environmental world? Think it deserves a place on The List?
