These days, it feels like everyone (and everything) is getting an eco makeover. Celebs are swapping their Porches for Priuses; plastic bags are becoming obsolete at grocery stores; hemp is becoming a food and fabric staple; heck, you can even buy organic yoga mats.

If you don't, your eyes will all but disappear behind those Foster Grants.
