Beginning in spring of this year, Sears began selling EcoGir business suits for men. The difference between these suits and others is that EcoGir is made from 100% recycled plastic bottle chips and wool, making it a very Green alternative. Sears is attempting to save energy while reducing carbon footprints and diverting waste from landfills. According to The Clean Air Council, 2.5 million plastic bottles are thrown away by Americans each hour, meaning nearly 60 million bottles are thrown away per day. It only takes 13 two-liter plastic bottles to fashion one full suit.
