Quick Tip: Don't throw out your current plastic or wire hangers, but as you break or lose them, orient yourself with eco-friendly hangers made from bamboo, corn, or wheat. It's the greener lifestyle option - bamboo is a highly renewable plant, and options made from wheat are actually compostable. Petroleum-based plastic, on the other hand, never fully biodegrades.
Also, try taking the gazillion wire hangers you’ve accumulated from years of dry cleaning back to the cleaners - most will gladly reuse them! Check out your local Wal-Mart or Target to purchase your new green hangers.
