Green eyewear from Essilor
There is recently an environmental action from the eyewear giant Essilor. At the time of going back to school after the summer holiday, many students in America need eye exams because good vision is essential through classroom activities. Essilor is grabbing this opportunity to propagate its new products, which promote environmental protection.
In the beginning of the new school year, Essilor releases the first-ever eco-friendly eyewear called Airwear lenses. The production of Airwear lenses uses 100% recycled water and packaging and re-purposes unused materials for other industries. Manufacturing these green products, Essilor offers a great chance for students and their parents to start a new routine of environmental protection and establish daily green habits. In addition to environmental awareness, Essilor also takes action in charity. One fifth of the Essilor Junior lenses will be donated to the Essilor Vision Foundation, which is aimed at improving vision in children nationwide.
According to the green living expert Beth Aldrich, the eco-friendly eyewear from Essilor may implant environmental mind into children. Beth also says that customers should choose products that work for environment. There are still more actions can be done.
Carbon emission has been one of the most harmful contributors to climate change on the earth. Hybrid cars should be widely promoted because they can come to a complete stop when waiting in traffic and recharge the batteries once their brakes are hit. Combined with a small gasoline engine, battery powered electric motors can last more miles and reduce a significant amount of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels.
Chemicals can be reduced if we buy plant-based household products. Local, fair trade and organic foods should also be favored because they eliminate long transportation. A great amount of garbage will be avoided if the reuse rate is significantly improved. For example, resources such as old school papers should be recycled.
