Green is the new black

..and so Happy Earth Day, it's finally the 22nd!! So many great comments in my previous post, nice to know that there are many many people that embrace the eco living!! To celebrate the Earth Day there's nothing better than .....eco shopping!! Do you remember when a couple of year ago the "I'm not a plastic bag" mania come out and everywhere you'd find "eco" bags, totes, purses..and then nothing anymore!!

I was one of the "lucky" girl that got from 10CorsoComo the Anya Hindmarch bag, actually I've 2 bags, for me and for my mum and we really use the bag for the grocery shopping! I still remember the girls went crazy to get that bag just because it was a new "it bag" but after 2-3 weeks nobody was wearing the bag anymore. I still use that bag and many other reusable bags for my grocery shopping, many stores over here offer their own reusable bags but if you want you own and super cute eco bag you can find a great selection here: ECOBAGS or here BE SMART BE GREEN
I'm in love with classic string bags, and the classic woven bag..perfect for shopping, beach, loundry..

there are so many other reusable products and tons of eco-sites, so you just need to go online or to your store and get a reusable bag to start to help Earth, your wallet (plastic bag are not free!!) and always look cool even at grocery..and if you're coffee addicted get one of these I'm not a paper cup this one is from Urban Outfitters but there're so many other sellers online where you can buy it, how cute is this cup??

Earth Day - April 22

The next 22nd of April will be the Earth Day , since 1970 every year the world celebrate our mother earth that is the only "home" that we have, so we must respect and protect her every day not only on the Earth Day. It's important to learn how to respect and to reduce our carbon footprint with very small but important things that we make every day, at home in office when shopping or when we have fun, it's easy and every small step will be a huge help for our enviroment and for our future. I'm quite "obsessed" when it comes to recycle or to reduce my personal carbon footprint, as I said before, we have only one EARTH, we can't destroy this earth and move on another planet when this one will be dead. I recomend you to watch a movie (well it's more than a documentary or a movie) An Inconvenient Truth , where Al Gore explain in a very easy way how we are killing our planet and how we can save it, it's shocking sometimes but it's the truth that we see every day in our countries but we don't know how to stop it and how to make a difference. As a world citizen, I feel the responsability to make my steps to reduce the global warming, to recycle,to improve an eco-friendly lifestyle and if I can share my experience to inform other people I feel a better person.
