LINE OF CHIC AND COMPACT REUSABLE BAGS MAKES IT FUN TO GO GREEN

"Ecochic" has gone from oxymoron to de rigeur. Take Envirosax — stylish, fanciful bags in a plethora of attractive colors and prints. Weighing just 1.4 ounces, they can accommodate up to 44 pounds and roll up into a pocket-size bundle to tuck into a handbag. They come in sets of coordinated designs, packed in a small pouch ($44 for five). Envirosax also makes a whimsical children's line (featuring designs such as the Dogosaurus); $9 at Riches Kahala, Kahala Mall.

FINAL WORD

"I think a lot of people feel confused and overwhelmed, and I take it as my personal challenge to show that living a greener, healthier life doesn't have to be complicated or expensive."
