 | | If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy a bamboo tee instead of one made from conventional cotton, we’ll avert 25 spa-goers in pesticides from entering the environment. |
|  |  | | The average cotton t-shirt is only 73% cotton. The rest? Chemicals and resins – byproducts of production. | | |

|  The Bite
Hooked on cheap, trendy duds? Too bad the habit’s so trashy – Americans toss 68 lb of clothing annually. Check yourself into eco-chic spa Silken Tent’s two-day "Harm Not Look Hot" spring trunk show, which benefits the Nature Conservatory, and feed your fashion addiction instead of the landfill. Pick up sustainable, cashmere-soft, and breathable bamboo yoga pants and T-shirts from Omala Activewear; chic, recycled-material satchels from Engage Green; or organic makeup from Nvey Eco (our pick), packed with antioxidants and botanical extracts. Also on offer: yoga and pilates classes, and organic refreshments – just the kind of detox you need. |
