I couldn't get a picture saved, but you should really go out to the site a take a look at this "next to the skin" designed long sleeve crew neck shirt. They have a nifty way of allowing you to zoom in and really see the details of the shirt. Heck, I really want one now!

GoLite Women's DriMove Zip Top

Made from Cocona polyester, a moisture-wicking fabric made from activated carbon from the inside of discarded coconut shells. ($50, golite.com)

Prana Sabin Racer Top

Made from 94 percent recycled polyester, which reduces manufacturing energy and use of petroleum products used in virgin materials. ($44, prana.com)
Go out to the site and see the selection of colors. As Mrs. Wide-Body said when she saw this top "Ooo, these are really cute!" And my wallet said "Uh, oh".

Incorporates Brooks' new BioMoGo midsole foam, which includes a non-toxic additive that exponentially increases the rate of biodegradation (20 years, as opposed to 1,000) by encouraging anaerobic microbes to biodegrade nutrients into reusable byproducts. ($140, brooksrunning.com)

Recycle Your Shoes
Don't send your shoes to a landfill. Instead, consider donating them to a local program or to a nonprofit that sends shoes around the world, such as One World Running (oneworldrunning.blogspot.com)

Send 'Em Back
Clif Bar and TerraCycle launched a program earlier this year to recycle foil-lined wrappers from energy bars and gels. Called the Wrapper Brigade, the program collects wrappers and turns them into a strong, woven material that is then used to make backpacks, gym totes and other products.
