Green Your Summer

A bit more in my price range ($21.95) are from ICU Eyewear. Famed as the first to develop “green” sunglasses in the industry, this eco-friendly option is made out of 100% reclaimed material and available in red (shown), black, and tortoise.

How about a pair of Liz Claiborne, Calvin Klein, or Gucci sunglasses? Equation Eyewear offers refurbished name brand sunglasses at extremely affordable prices. Member of the National Recycling Coalition, Inc., Equation’s mission is to help the world see better for less by providing eyewear that is 100% recycled and reconditioned. Very cool!

Of course you’ll want to memorialize all the fun you’re having! Check out the eco-conscious Olympus Stylus 1010 featuring a 7x optical zoom, 10.1 megapixels, a large 2.7″ HyperCrystal™. It is certified as an Olympus Eco-product, which means this camera has a reduced environmental footprint across its entire product lifecycle, which encompasses not only the product and its packaging, but also the manufacturing and logistical processes in bringing the product to the marketplace.

So who wants to walk to the concession or boardwalk in this heat when you can zip on over on your electric bike! Electric bikes, bicycles, mopeds, and scooters offer the perfect green and affordable alternative for short jaunts. You get about 100 miles for less than $1 or about one cent per mile with an electric scooter. A midsize car costs 15-20 times that amount in fuel alone! A nifty choice is the 36 Volt Electric Street Bike from Green World Scooters. It is fully equipped with a front basket and a rear locking trunk, 350 watt brushless Hub motor, with a charge time of about 6-8 hours. Shipping is included in the price. AND, you can crank this baby up to 15 miles per hour! Yee-ha!

Now you are set to enjoy a blissful eco-friendly summer vacation!
