cool sandals

dvs shoe company is introducing a new line of "recyclable" sandals. in an effort to help out our landfills, these sandals are made of foam that can be recycled. when these sandals are done, just pull out the straps and throw the bottoms in a recycle bin. not only is this a good cause, these sandals are actually really cushy soft and will last a long time. check out dvs's website: www.dvspushgreen.com

clean your beach

matix clothing company is trying something new for their surf boardshort line. these days when you buy a new pair of boardshorts most companies giveaway waxcombs, fin keys or keychains. matix wanted to do something different, so they thought of trying something environmentally constructive. all boardshorts come with a trash bag so the proud new owner can pick up some trash on his or her beach. the idea is to just pick up some trash, no matter where it is, instead of just looking at it. who needs another waxcomb or keychain, we need clean beaches!
