Eyewear company Modo is looking to make a big splash with its new line of green eyeglasses, called ECO- Earth Conscious Optics.

Modo is touting the new line as “a radically new approach to eyewear,” which “reinterprets the whole product lifecycle in an environmentally sustainable way.” But they’re certainly <a href="http…Read the full story on TreeHugger

Cord reigns supreme in these tactile treasures made by Michelle Lane Jewelry. The designer, a friend of mine, officially launched her first collection–just in time to tap into summer’s favorite trend: Sailing. Though, it’s misleading to categorize her jewelry as on-trend; They’re not designed to be trendy–or disposable–they’re meant to be worn over and over again–and I ima…Read the full story on TreeHugger

I particularly liked her bike bags.

And when we checked out their shop on Etsy and discovered these brightly-colored handlebar bags which double as shoulder bags (they come with an adjustable strap)–and read their ta…Read the full story on TreeHugger
