With all the talk in the world about green companies, sustainability, eco-friendly everything - solar power, Priuses, accessories and fashion companies - are catching up to the global issues and making ethically adorable consumables.
Now you don't have to wear Birkenstocks because you can wear Tom's, canvas totes double as grocery bags, and even Mercedes-Benz makes a hybrid!
One of the easiest ways to cut down your carbon footprint is keeping your re-usable water bottle instead of buying and tossing bottles constantly. This Atlas thermos works for your morning coffee and then your daily water bottle.
Stainless steel doesn't leave the water with a weird taste and they can hang out in your car without releasing carcinogens into your water, unlike those ubiquitous plastic water bottles.
It's cute, it's sustainable, it's educational, and it's the least obnoxious way to go green!
Where to Buy - Urban Outfitters
Price - $34.00
Who Found It - BrookeElisabeth was the first to add the Urban Outfitters Atlas Wrapped Thermos to the Hive.
