" Okay, I&amp;#039;ll admit I was super skeptical when I got an email telling me that Barbie was jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon. Usually, I&amp;#039;m all for companies making their operations more sustainable by doing things like introducing recycled packaging and organic ingredients, or buying wind credits. But Barbie? She of the physiologically impossible figure and always-high-heel-ready feet? But I was pleasantly surprised. No, Barbie&amp;#039;s soft plastic head isn&amp;#039;t going to be made out of recycled soda bottles, and I&amp;#039;m guessing Mattel is never going to cut out the reams of packaging that comes with a new Barbie (which keeps creepy collectors&amp;#039; dolls pristine for decades and sends little girls into a frenzy trying to get them out of the box \u2014 or maybe that was just me).  No, thank goodness for future body dysmorphists everywhere, nothing about Barbie will change. But a new line of Barbie accessories for girls (handbags and totes) will include trim and detail made from factory seconds\u2013 those pieces of fabric left over from the huge bolts of cloth that are made into a thousand tiny Barbie swing coats or astronaut outfits. Instead of tossing these extras, they will be reused, a tactic many eco-fashion designers use to add fun details to their lines while still recycling.   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
