Are plastic dry cleaning bags taking over your closet? Well, they're also taking a toll on the environment!

Luckily, now you can make a difference thanks to The Green Garmento -- a reusable garment bag.

Not only is it eco-friendly, but it's a convenient and stylish way to transport your delicates to the cleaners.

The three-in-one reusable garment bag, $9.99; available at TheGreenGarmento.com, also works as a space-saving hamper and can be transformed into a hanging garment bag for travel. Brilliant!

Incorporating The Green Garmento into your daily routine will help reduce the estimated 300 million pounds of single-use plastic dry cleaning bags used each year.

And the green (literally) accessory is already all the rage among Hollywood's socially conscious set.

Celebs like Will Farrell, Vanessa Williams, Samantha Harris and Jennie Garth -- who is designing a zebra print bag with proceeds going to one of her favorite animal rights charities -- all love the bag.

Even heavy hitter Paramount Pictures uses the eco-friendly garment bags in its costume departments.

Now, we're giving you a chance to win The Green Garmento Bag, so there's no excuse for all that plastic.

Here's how to enter:
  • To enter, leave a confirmed comment telling us what you do to lessen your carbon footprint.
  • The comment must be left before 5pm ET on December 11, 2009.
  • You may enter only once.
  • Five winners will be selected in a random drawing.
  • Five winners will receive two The Green Garmento garment bags (valued at $9.99 each).
  • Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.
  • Click here for complete Official Rules.

I'm constantly trying to find ways to lessen our footprint. I'm not a model of "greenness" yet, but we recycle and try to conserve energy. We had a $70 electricity bill in Texas during the month of August! I was proud of that one. I'm also always searching for products that I can reuse instead of trash - like these bags. Thank you for this giveaway opportunity!
