In honor of Earth Month, I’ve partnered with ICU Eyewear, an industry leader in reading glasses and well-known for their fun, bright, stylish and fashion forward glasses at affordable prices. Checkout four of their fab frames that I am wearing in the montage above: (clockwise) Retro Square (similar to what I’m wearing), Leatherette Cat Eye, Green Tortoise Temples and Confetti Cat Eye.
However, it is the brand’s sustainability efforts that made it an ideal fit for my Earth Month themed giveaway. ICU has made impressive strides towards sustainability by implementing a greener production process, reducing the company’s carbon footprint and increasing the amount of eco-friendly materials used in their glasses.
The brand recently obtained a CarbonNeutral® certification and as a result of this, they are producing more products that are made of renewable and recyclable materials. However, ICU has been using recyclable and renewable materials for more than 10 years, with frames made out of renewable materials like bamboo and bio-based plastic as well as using excess materials from the manufacturing process that would typically go into a landfill. Go Green!
In addition to all these green efforts, I was most impressed by ICU’s ECO Eyewear line which are made out of 100% recycled materials. Not only are these frames green, but they are just as fabulous, chic and fashionable as other glasses. Take a look at some of my favs:
ICU Eco Reading Glasses: Classic Colorblock in Black & Turquoise ($23.95) These fab frames are made out of recycled plastic and are a wonderful expression of the colorblocking trend. See what I mean by Eco Chic?
ICU Eco Reading Glasses in Wavy Temples Acetate ($54.95) How stunning are these wavy temples and sophisticated tortoise frames. Eco FAB and they look way more spendy than they actually are.
ICU ECO Eyewear Butterfly Sunglasses ($21.95) These over-sized sunnies are also made out of recycled plastic and are totally fashionable and on-trend. LOVE!
Large Leatherette Red Cat Eye with Crystal Temples ($21.95) These sunnies are not part of ICU’s Eco line, but they are super fun, sparkly and totally my style (I’m wearing them in the photo montage above.) I wanted to post them as an example of the wide variety of stylish eyewear choices you will find on ICU’s website.

My second is due at the end of this month and i will be using cloth diapers with her. I am trying to use less disposable items. I am also going to be using reusable breast pads as well.
I never use plastic bags!
We are all taking shorter shower in the morning
We recycle and reuse whenever possible. We also use filtered water instead of bottled.
Everything you need for anything can be found naturally.
To go green, I’ve been cutting on my water usage by taking shorter showers and being conscious of when I’m using water.
I recyle, compost and grow my own veggies
Because we live close to the ocean, conservation of water is very important to me and my family. We take short showers, turn off the water when we brush our teeth, and are installing water-saver toilets in our home.
We only drive when we need to. We run all errands at same time. Recycling plastics and cans and papers
planting flowers and shrubs native to the area that will not require watering and special care
I keep my old glasses and donate them to charity..Love your blog!
ohhh ohh, pick me pick me!!
I recycle and use reusable shopping totes.
We are in the process of converting to solar energy!
I recycle everything I possibly can, I compost, and try to reduce by using less energy.
