My favorite green shoes this moment

I was reading through our gigantic Eco Sourcebook this weekend, looking for some style inspiration, and figured I could start with some non-leather shoes. Okay, maybe that's not much of a stretch: It's no secret that I love a canvas sneaker. I haven't worn Keds in about a gazillion years, but I'm a sucker for their simplest version. And what's even better is that they're now making it in organic cotton. I think they're totally cute with summer dresses. I've also long been coveting a pair of Toms—they're not exactly eco, but for every pair of shoes you purchase, a pair goes to a child in need.
