Bamboo specs are sustainable and sassy

I'm always psyched when I come across an eco-fashion trend that I just might be able to pull off. Organic crinoline party dress? Not so much. But bamboo eyeglasses? Those I can handle.

These babies art part of Amy Sacks' new collection of bamboo eyeglasses and sunglasses. And they're not terribly prohibitive at $150-$210.

Unlike plastic frames, Amy's specs are made of one of our most renewable resources to date. And if you're not clear on what that means, a renewable resource is one that doesn't need to be replanted when it's cut down.

And like Amy helpfully points out on her site, bamboo also absorbs absorbs greenhouse gasses, and a bunch of bamboo produces about 35% more oxygen than a similarly-sized grove of trees.

And the best part? It's super-strong, so you can drop the glasses, sit on them, and chew on them, and they'll still be intact.
