If you're packing all the
green products you purchase into conventional carriers whenever you go somewhere, you're ready for an
eco-friendly luggage makeover. You can go for the big items first and invest in
hard plastic rolling luggage made from recycled plastics or start small with an
organic cotton lunch bag. Whatever type of
eco-friendly luggage you're looking for, know that there's an option to fit your need---even those famously synthetic nylon hiking backpacks are
now available with recycled materials and sustainable fabrics. Don't forget
eco-friendly luggage for the kids, either; there are
organic cotton,
hemp, and recycled content book bags from brands like
Keen and
Timbuk2 that look as hip as any of the conventional bags you'll find. If you're looking for the ultimate in
eco-friendly luggage, the organic hemp messenger bags from
Ecolution are always a winner and the
solar bags by
Voltaic (which can charge your small electronics on pure sun power) are a green favorite.
