  so many materials, bamboo
  is all the rage right now.
  Here is a sampling of my
    top picks using this rapidly
     renewable material.
               Enjoy!

 
These handcrafted sunglasses have their eyes set on a goal: eliminating preventable blindness for those in the developing world. $50 from each eco-chic pair purchased is donated to Unite for Sight, enough to fund one sight-restoring surgery.
 
 

 
 
I love the look of the retro bamboo exterior on the Vers 1.5R radio/alarm clock. What's even better is knowing that the bamboo replaces 80% of what would have been plastic. I'll dance to that!


 


 
From $4-$10 these eco-friendly make-up brushes are a steal! With bamboo handles, cruelty-free taklon bristles, and metal from recycled aluminum cans, they're the perfect way to tend to your eco-conscious complexion.


 
Though all of Ekobo's beautiful bamboo creations are stunningly designed, it's the mello stool, the one piece of furniture in the line of brightly stacked service ware, that truly caught my eye.
