"Just because Earth Day was almost a month ago doesn&amp;#39;t mean that we should stop thinking about the environment, especially since there are so many ways to care and contribute, from volunteering to recycling to composting to, well, shopping. Hey, it&amp;#39;s true! More and more brands are making a serious effort to use sustainable materials, donate percentages of their proceeds to Earth-friendly causes, and reduce waste. Here, we&amp;#39;ve gathered up nine of the ultra-cool clothing and accessories lines that are giving back. Now you can make Earth Day everyday...without even really trying.\n\nFirst, let&amp;#39;s talk collabs. We&amp;#39;ve already gone nuts over the super colorful Della x Vans collection of adorable kicks and pouches, but that&amp;#39;s not all this Cali-based brand has to offer. Della uses sustainable local West African materials while providing jobs, education, and skills training to the citizens of Hohoe, Ghana, and is partnering with Urban Outfitters (again) for a four-piece collection made from traditional textiles. Look for that to hit stores on June 25. Della is also collaborating with  Toms\u2014the cult-fave company that matches all shoes and glasses purchased with a new pair given to a child in need\u2014on an adorable summer dress launching on August 25. Speaking of, the TOMS Animal Initiative, a safari-cute flat that helps efforts to save the mountain gorillas from poachers and habitat destruction in the Democratic Republic of Congo, just launched yesterday!\n\nAnd in more collab news, H&amp;amp;M is working with DoSomething.org (complete with a PSA from Olivia Wilde!) to get you all excited about donating and recycling clothing with the &amp;quot;Comeback Clothes&amp;quot; initiative. From now through June 20, rally your friends, school, or entire community to donate used clothing and drop them off at any H&amp;amp;M outpost. The clothes will be sent to a recycling center to gain new life on the market, and in return, you&amp;#39;ll score a 15% off discount on your next purchase, be entered to win a $10,000 scholarship, and feel generally great about yourself. \n\nSpeaking of recycling, how about investing in gently worn, reworked clothing that reduces waste and preserves the environment? If you don&amp;#39;t already know about Reformation, now&amp;#39;s the time to listen up! With HQs in both L.A. and New York, the downtown cool-girl label locally manufactures plush leather moto-jackets, slinky slip dresses, and minimalist-chic separates out of vintage and surplus materials. If you&amp;#39;re into the idea, also think about clicking over to the elu PreLoved online pop-up store for a capsule collection featuring updated silhouettes created from vintage fabrics. We&amp;#39;re especially into the brocade skorts and the tie-dye cropped pants.\n\nIf you&amp;#39;re into sustainable materials, Gypsy05 uses organic fabrics, soy softeners, low-impact dyes, and seaweed extract for its relad, beachy SoCal line of maxi-dresses, printed tops, slouchy pants, and adorable matched sets (love love love this laser-cut tee situation!). Even Gypsy05&amp;#39;s headquarters are solar-powered. \n\nWhile we&amp;#39;re talking about natural fabrics, Pima Doll&amp;#39;s line of easy basics and intricate knits is designed in New York and manufactured in Peru, using 100% pima cotton that&amp;#39;s hand-harvested and grown without chemicals to avoid any negative impact on the environment. \n\nIt&amp;#39;s not a clothing line per se, but Proud Mary is an online marketplace and organization featuring beautifully crafted shoes, clothing, bags, and home accessories created by artisans from developing countries like Mali, Peru, and Niger. The organization promotes and practices sustainability worldwide and makes sure the artisans earn a fair wage. Our fave picks? The  pretty raffia flats made in Essaouira, Morocco and the embroidered denim cap hand-woven in Guatemala.\n\nAnd finally, we should talk bags. Fashion girls are obsessed with New York-based Fleabags and not just for its sporty, retro-inspired leather designs. The company also makes everything\u2014from the leather satchels to the zippered blocked pouches\u2014with organic and vintage materials, veggie-tanned and recycled leathers, and additional parts that are all locally sourced in the U.S.\n\nAre you ready to shop yet? Go for it\u2014you&amp;#39;ll rack up good clothes and good karma."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
