Belt it Out Green!

What could be more fun than ocean-inspired accessories this summer?

How about online summer shopping options that are fair trade, hand-made and support Balinese women artists, not to mention supporting cool stateside surfer girls?

Sold! Check out surfer Donna von Hoesslin?s Betty Belts. Along with her creative team of surfer-loving artisans, there?s everything from beaded belts, to shimmery handbags and even a little something for Moondoggie too (a.k.a. guys, for those not plugged in surfer pop culture of classic film Gidget).

And all of it is crafted from reused, recycled, organic and all-natural materials whenever possible.

Betty Belts is involved with a host of environmental groups, including 1% For the Planet, which means that 1% of total sales go to organizations that are dedicated to saving rivers and oceans, sustainability and a better life for all. Other Betty Belt love goes to at-risk youth, women's surfing (through athlete and event sponsorship) and Co-op America, that has given Betty Belts their coveted Seal of Approval.

Shop green for yourself and friends, and ?spread the aloha? as Donna likes to say!
