If 10,000 Chicago Biters recycle one glass bottle instead of trashing a plastic one, we'll keep the weight of four skinny Trixies in plastic out of landfills.

Due to advances in technology, today's glass containers are 40% lighter than ones made 20 years ago.

Plastic Girl

The Bite

Got more plastic (tubes and bottles) in your bathroom than an aging starlet stuffed with silicone? Go for glass instead. GRN (Grow.Restore.Nuture), a new paraben-free, organic skincare line from Exhale salon, packages all of its face masks, scrubs, and serums in recycled glass containers - which means leaner landfills in the long run. We're all over the Blue Chamomile Cleanser like Trixies on Billy Dec; it's loaded with certified organic extracts of chamomile, rosemary, and green tea, and bottled in a slender frosted-glass pump. Elegant and eco? It's enough to make a Botoxed celeb smile...or least try.

Wanna Try

Exhale, 945 N. State St. b/t Oak and Walton Sts. (312-753-6500). Blue Chamomile Cleanser, $20; Hydrating Face Serum, $34.
