8 Ways To Be Eco-Friendly Chic

With the whole going green movement, it's become cool to be environmentally conscious. Not that it hasn't always been a good thing, but over the last few years, buying hybrids over gas guzzlers has become the thing to do. Recycling and conserving have become a part of pretty much everyone's vocabulary. There are several designers, like Stella McCartney, Beyond Skin and Matt & Nat who always come to mind when I think about eco-friendly collections.

There are countless ways to help save the environment and look great while doing it. I've rounded up a few that were standouts for me.
