Sunglasses From 100% Renewable Material

As the world moves towards green living, it’s exciting to see more industries develop environmentally-conscious technology for their products.  Dragon has teamed up with one of the world’s greatest surfers, Rob Machado, to create the first ever sunglasses made from 100% renewable materials.  All of the materials used for the sunglasses, including ink and packaging materials, is created from materials that are replenished at the same rate that they are consumed.

The new environmental line is called Environmentally Conscious Optics, or ECO.  Machado is an active environmentalist and has used his success in surfing to spread awareness of environmental issues and take steps towards change.  I hope to see more developments from the ECO line.
