Green Daily

For the past few months, and especially these recent weeks, the news has been awash with props and criticism aimed at Beijing's efforts at creating a green Olympic games.

Just in case your friends and coworkers aren't sick of the hype yet, you can now sport a daily reminder by purchasing one of these lapel pins from Topazminer Collectibles on eBay.

Whether you'd wear it for the irony, or simply to show your support for the changes they made, it's sure to be a conversation starter.

According to the seller, these are true collectibles, and many of the pins were given directly to athletes and other personnel at past Olympic games.

Of course, considering you can buy the pins for the 2010 games in Vancouver, and the 2012 pins in London already, you probably aren't buying any that have actually changed hands with athletes.

I would also wonder just how these pins are made. While they boast a green graphical design, they leave out any mention of the pins being constructed from sustainable or recycled materials.

Still, what is more fashionable than a pin labeled "environment?"
