Even if you don’t have green eyes genetically, you can still do your green share and purchase eco-friendly eyeglasses!

Eyewear companies like ICU Eyewear offer affordable frames made from 100% reclaimed materials such as recycled metal and bamboo versus the usual un-reclaimed plastic. This stops the need for new materials to be gathered and created, therefore reducing carbon emissions and unnecessary waste. Plus, ICU offers frames that cost as little as $22!

Also, when the time rolls around for new glasses don’t toss your old ones, recycle them! Many companies and organizations like LensCrafters, New Eyes for the Needy, and Unite for Sight collect and send used eyeglasses to those who need and can’t afford them.
