(Don’t take our word for it—be sure and check in with yourself—no one knows you better than you!—and your doctor.) |

Recycled clothes
by Nicole
| You can get really cute (and comfortable) clothes that are recycled, hand-me-downs and used clothes. And of course don't forget to use your recycled bag. My favorite outfit is a 100% recycled cotton jeans, a recycled cotton tee (that supports WWF) and my recycled plastic bottle bag. Living green is easy if you make it! |
