Tracy, our “Green-Eyed Shopper”, was eco-chic before eco and chic was hyphenated. An avid re-user and a practical environmentalist, Metro (and yes, that is her real name!) believes “one small change really can change the world.” She has been devoted to the eco-movement for the last decade and through her passion for shopping and an intimate relationship with Mr. Mastercard, has come to the conclusion that “going green can actually save you some green!” Who knew? Tracy Metro knew!
