Cool, Eco-Sporty Gift Ideas

December 7th, 2009

AnvilKnitwear21 682x1024 Cool, Eco Sporty Gift Ideas

Are you looking for cool, eco-sporty gift ideas?  Then the AnvilSustainable Tee from Anvil Knitwear might be the perfect eco-gift fit.

Recently, traveling greener became a fan of Anvil Knitwear eco-clothing when the company sent over an AnvilSustainable t-shirt and a sweatshirt for review.  These stylish, incredibly comfortable, eco-sporty pieces are ideal for a green travel wardrobe for voluntouring in Australia to ecotouring India.

What makes them special is the AnvilSustainable clothes are made from recycled PET plastic bottles and transitional cotton, which has been grown on farms that are in the process of becoming certified organic.

Says Anthony Corsano, Anvil’s CEO:

“The AnvilSustainable tee was designed to support two important environmental initiatives: the recycling of plastic bottles and the conversion of acreage from conventional cotton farming to organic cotton farming. Each AnvilSustainable tee uses approximately three 20-ounce recycled PET plastic bottles, and the cotton comes from farms that are in the three-year process of transitioning to organic. Buying a shirt made with cotton in conversion is a great way to support farmers making the switch, and encourage more to do the same.”

Socks are a popular Christmas gift and stocking stuffer.  What’s an even better gift is a greener sock, like the stylish ones made by the U.S. company Goodhew.

Recently, the company sent traveling greener a couple pairs of their women’s merino wool and bamboo socks to review.  Perfect for travel or business casual days, these Goodhew socks are keepers for their comfortably soft and superior fit.  Their products are constructed almost exclusively from natural and renewable materials including wool, bamboo, cotton and alpaca.

Goodhew is committed to maintaining the smallest carbon footprint possible and reducing their environmental impact.   Their packaging is printed on recycled paper stock and fully recyclable.

The company says it packs its products in recyclable poly bags which reduces product weight and space in shipping, minimizing the space requirements on trucks and reducing the fuel requirements to deliver their products.
