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.
