eco-friendly sunglasses made of wood

How many pairs of sunglasses have you lost? Think about the last time you did lose a pair. Where was it? What do you think those glasses are doing now? Is it good for the planet? Are there sustainable sunglasses?

How many have I lost? Too many too count. I feel awful about it, which is why I am doing something about it. You should, too.

Where do our sunglasses go when we lose them? What happens to them?  Plastic and rubber sunglasses can take hundreds or thousands of years to break down, all the while they are leaking contaminates into the surrounding environment. Leaking poison, essentially. What’s worse, they will leach those same toxins into your body as you wear them.

How can you limit the spreading of these toxic through your body and our precious environment? One simple and cheap way is to change the type of sunglasses you buy and use. There are now many different types of sustainable sunglasses you can wear, even lose, without feeling like you wrecked the planet.

Sunglasses made from wood, bamboo or other naturally occuring materials won’t harm the environment anymore than a wooden stick or other type of plant matter. In fact, there is arguably a net positive effect from contributing the organic matter to the ecosystem. Lose your sunglasses and you’re creating compost full of nutrients. How awesome is that?
