Bring Your Own week: Roundup for a life less trashy

Bring your own style to your enviro-conscious lifestyle and say bye-bye to cheapo, one-use disposables forever! A roundup of eco-totables:

1. Bag the plastic bag. L.A. County's Day Without a Bag has come and gone, but that free reusable tote you go is good for years to come! The trick is figuring out a way to remember to take your bag when you'll need it. Could the bra bag be your eco-solution?

2. Drink in style. I've nixed the styrofoam cup with its flimsy plastic lids that always drip on me. Now, not only do I remain stain-free, I save myself some money because many coffee shops offer BYO-mug discounts.

3. Bottle up. Why tote a cheap and dingy plastic bottle around when you can tote a stylish reusable bottle?

4. Enjoy a zero-waste lunch. Why brown bag it and risk squishing your sandwiches when you can tote a nifty little lunchbox you can reuse? Find out about the most stylin' lunch totes out there, then look to the Vegan Lunch Box blog for lunchbox inspiration.

5. Collapse those chopsticks -- or fork or spoon or knife. Sushi-addicted environmentalists tired of those one-use pairs in restaurants have many totable chopstick options to pick from. Or get a whole set of totable utensils, in stainless steel or bamboo.
