Spotted these Kayu bamboo shades on Treehugger just now. They’re cute, plus the materials are more eco-friendly than plastic. For added do-gooder points, the company also donates some of its earnings to an organization that is working to eliminate preventable blindness.

Another image of the shades sans model on the other side….

I sort of still am. I have this blue nylon one, but it’s starting to fall apart. The thing is, I don’t want to do straw. I’m tough on my things and I know it wouldn’t stand up. I stumbled upon these bamboo bags being sold at EcoConsciousMarket and figured they might be a nice option. They’re not only cool and futuristic-y looking, but also environmentally friendly(whatever that means!)
