The motivation to produce and buy recycled products has greatly increased in recent years, following the global movement towards sustainability. Available facilities for the recycling of domestic waste have expanded, allowing individuals to contribute to a cleaner, safer environment in their local area. There are also growing numbers of companies who use recycled materials to create products with a much smaller carbon footprint. 

Until a few years ago, eyeglass frames were made of materials such as titanium, acetate, titanium/metal and some rhinestone accessories. As the world is changing, today wood frame sunglasses are the new trend in sunglasses.

As it is known, wood comes from a tree. That implies that it had to be cut down, which produced a space in its ecosystem and it is one less tree that intervenes in the purification of the air. This could aggravate the problem of global pollution, depending on the number of trees that will be needed to meet the demand for wooden frames.

Everyone is trying to be safer during this pandemic, and face masks are a really important way to do that. But for those of us who wear glasses every day, the combination of wearing both glasses and a face mask can be super frustrating. Often, wearing a face mask makes your glasses fog up. This happens because your warm breath is redirected up by the mask fabric towards the lenses, leaving a cloud of little water droplets and impairing your vision with all of the extra condensation.

Our world is in the midst of a climate crisis the like of which humanity has never seen before. Our addiction to consumerism and growth continues to fuel a demand for excess in all industries. By some estimates, the fashion industry is the second most polluting in the world. Not only is fashion, especially fast fashion, responsible for an ecological catastrophe but also for human rights abuses across the world.

While traveling Ireland one of the best ways to add an eco-friendly element to your stay is with a touch of glamping. If you would like to do a full trip of only glamping or if you would like to only do a night or two, it is a very easy way to make your holiday more on the environmentally friendly side. Below we have listed 5 of the best spots for glamping. We hope you enjoy and let us know if you have been to any of our recommendations or if you have any recommendations of you own.

Last year was classified as the "year of awakening", with all kinds of consumers demanding transparency and responsibility from fashion brands. Additionally, there has been an explosion of second-hand purchases, along with the rejection of single-use plastics, paving the way for the subsequent years of change in this industry.

So let's talk about some trends that are key to sustainable fashion in Ireland.

Eoin here from Crann I wanted to share a little about why we decided at Crann to support The Native Woodland Trust and why we feel it's important to give back locally to something that means a lot to the team and our customers. 

What we do to help support The Native Woodland Trust by collecting €2 per product sold and donating this in two lump sums each year the first in January and the second in July. 

We are planning on running summer events with the CRANN CLAN and The Native Woodland Trust to help volunteer for a day planting/maintaining the sites they own. More to follow on this soon.
