As you break or lose plastic and wire hangers, orient yourself with eco-friendly hangers made from bamboo, corn, or wheat. Bamboo is a highly renewable plant, and options made from wheat are actually compostable. Petroleum-based plastic, on the other hand, never fully biodegrades. Take old wire hangers back to your dry cleaners - most will gladly reuse them.
Target and Wal-Mart, carry bamboo and corn-based hangers ($7/6 bamboo hangers; $4/5 corn-based hangers).
