It’s almost summer and time to catch a wave. Not a surfer? No worries, you can still connect with the waves by wearing a piece of Betty Belt’s cool Upcycled Surfboard Resin Jewelry.

Each pendant, earring and ring in this collection is made from leftover resin from the surfboard-building process. Rather than ending up in a landfill, it has been repurposed into durable, colorful jewelry that simply screams “summer.” What’s even cooler, is that each stripe in the designs is from a surfboard that was made in California, and is somewhere out there cruising the waves. And, like the waves themselves, no two pieces in this collection are alike. $23-$48 at www.bettybelts.com.

What time is it? It's time to make a difference, by sporting a colorful Flex Watch! Available in 11 vibrant hues, each color represents a different charity, with 10% of the purchase price going to that cause.

Each flexible watch is available in two sizes, and the silicone bands can be purchased separately for mix and match fun. More than just telling time, these watches tell a story and, while not eco friendly, they raise awareness for worthwhile organizations, including the Keep-A-Breast Foundation (pink), Mariners Outreach (red) and Nika Water (blue). Plus, the company offers free shipping anywhere in the U.S. Isn't it time that you let your accessories make a statement about more than just your wardrobe? $40 for the watch, $15 for additional bands at www.flexwatches.com. (Note: the bands only fit the Big Flex, not the Flex-Mini).

With the nautical trend still going strong, we found a line that not only captures the look, but it also cleans up on it! United by Blue is more than just an adorable and economical line of eco friendly tees, bags and jewelry. This is a company that literally dives right in to make a difference.

For every product sold, United by Blue removes one pound of trash from oceans and waterways through company organized and hosted cleanups. When you order items like this organic cotton Blue World tee (left/$34) or this cool, artisan crafted Of Colts and Cacti necklace (right/$38), you are actually improving the state of the marine life, from the Gulf of Mexico to New York City. Whatcha' waiting for? Dive in! www.unitedbyblue.com.

GREENBEES shoes has introduced its first non-leather shoe, just in time for spring and summer fun! It's called the Molly Loafer and we are all a buzz!

This adorable slip on is the first shoe from GREENBEES to be made from cotton blends, harvested on American soil, and they feature the company's signature recycled tire sole. Sustainability aside, our other favorite thing about these stylish slip-ons is the color selection. On trend brights, neons and prints make choosing just one pair next to impossible.

Tongues and tails are wagging about Jusani Culture™, a company that combines two of our favorite things: cute clothing and help for homeless animals. Every purchase from this site will provide an American sheltered pet with food, supplies, medical care and training assistance with adoption.

Animal shelters are overrun with homeless pets that people have abandoned or abused, and caring for these four-legged friends requires an extensive amount of funds. By purchasing one of these economical, fetching designs that include cute drawings of cats, dogs and even ferrets, you are supporting the efforts of these ever-so-important organizations as they work to care for those among us who cannot care for themselves. $22 – $52 at www.jusani.com. Because helping animals is always in fashion. (Note that these shirts and totes are socially conscious, not eco friendly)
