Being green is about to get a whole lot easier!

This fall British retailer Marks & Spencer will release what they're calling the most sustainable suit IN THE WORLD!

The greenest suit to ever grace God's green earth is made from organic wool and lined with material made from recycled plastic bottles.

The suit pockets, waistband, and all labels were created using recycled polyester and the buttons are all reclaimed.

Impressive.

The sustainable suits will set you back $550, which is a great price considering all the hard work it takes to piece together. However, only 500 suits have been produced, which means they are ecologically exclusive!

But don't worry! If you can't get your hands on this one when it hits stores and online in September, M&S plans to release a variety of sustainable clothes throughout the year.

Thoughts?!?

The Boy Scouts of America are going green with their uniforms.

The organization will soon offer jerseys made from recycled materials similar to those used in Topshop's eco-friendly denim line.

The three jerseys, "Americana" "Varsity Performance" and "Hiker", use REPREVE, a 100 percent recycled yarn fiber created from polyethylene terephthalate water bottles and pre- and post-consumer waste from manufacturing processes.

Pretty cool!

The Americana jersey is already available online with the others debuting this fall.

With Natalie Portman’s recent engagement to her choreographer beau Benjamin Millepied, people are curious to know about her ring.

Turns out the engagement ring was a custom made, one-of-a-kind design created by Millepied and his former dancer friend and jewelry designer Jamie Wolf.

The ring centers around an antique diamond surrounded by conflict-free stones and set in recycled platinum.

Wolf reveals:

“Ben was exceptionally thoughtful and dedicated and patient to make sure we had everything right.

We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie.”

Granted, the ring looks great and we’re sure it was expensive, but did Millepied really need to have it custom made? It looks like any other ring you could buy at a store.

What do U think of Portman’s "one-of-a-kind" engagement ring?

This is pretty brillz.

Civic Duty has found a great way to recycle FedEx envelopes by turning them into shoes!

The used envelops are dyed and attached to recycled rubber soles to make Chuck Taylor and Keds style kicks.

Civic Duty is also creating a special charity shoe with 100% of the profits going to Common Ground Relief.

Eco-friendly and for a good cause?

Sounds like a win/win to us!

After making a quick stop in Japan, Christina Aguilera was rejoined by Cher in Madrid to continue promoting Burlesque.

For Thursday's photo call, X-Tina wore a red lace Dolce & Gabbana dress over the same black tights she wore at last week's Tokyo press conference.

But it didn't stop there. She even recycled the black sweater and shoes!

Thankfully Cher gave us something new with her metallic jacket that was worn over an all black outfit.

Deja vu!

A pink-haired Lady GaGa is on the cover Glamour Paris' December issue.

As much as we love us a Lady maGaGazine, this image was already used over a year ago on Canada's Flare magazine.

Oh well, at least it's a pretty picture!

What is it with this country and recycling other magazine's images?

Germany's GQ Style magazine is following in the footsteps of Elle Germany by reusing these photos of Chace Crawford for their winter issue.

The original photos of the tatted up Gossip Girl star were published well over a year ago in Interview magazine's September issue.

We love us some Chace, but at least give us something new to drool over.
