Opt for eco-friendly and fashionable kicks! Keds and Loomstate have teamed up for a line of environmentally conscious slip-ons. Photo courtesy of Keds

Launching exclusively at Barneys today (June 15), Keds has teamed up with Loomstate for a summer collection of sustainable and organic versions of its iconic canvas sneaker.

The capsule collection consists of five printed, slip-on styles with organic uppers and linings and a 100 percent recycled insole. Just to be thorough, each pair will also come in a recycled, re-used shoe box and forgo the usual tissue paper inside.

A percentage of the proceeds will go to Organic Exchange, an organization that supports sustainable and organic farming.

At $75 a pair, they may not be the cheapest pair of Keds you've ever owned, but they are definitely the greenest!

Is this what E.T. would see if he came down for some Reese's Pieces today? The skeletal outline looks pretty ominous, no?

Actually, this is a limited-edition scarf designed by Alexander McQueen in an effort to boost recognition of "HOME," a breathtaking aerial documentary that pleads for a global environmental initiative.

The film "HOME" is being released today (June 5) internationally, with numerous free screenings. It will also air on The National Geographic Channel at 9 pm ET and can be found online at YouTube. Appropriately, it happens to be World Environment Day.

The McQueen scarf, a manipulated representation of the dying Earth morphed into a skull (not your grandmother's silk paisley number, is it?), will be available exclusively at Alexander McQueen boutiques and at alexandermcqueen.com early this month for $285 – but you can pre-order on the site now. Click, click, go, go!

And it's easy to make an impact, just by shopping. Here, a handful of other high-end designers that are getting in on the "HOME" action...
