From Ecouterre:

Now that spring has finally sprung into summer, it's time to bust out that perky--yet purposeful--slow-motion job you've been practicing in front of the mirror all winter. If the idea of bathing-suit shopping gives you hives, however, we're here to save the day with more than a dozen eco-friendly bikinis, swimsuits, and board shorts that will make your fellow beachgoers sweat. Tricking your object of affection into receiving your kiss of life? You're on your own.

I'm happy to help the environment and all...and of course I'm always happy to get my beautiful girlfriend something dressed in something sexy...

...But freakin' $230 for a BIKINI makes me say "Hey, honey, why don't we see what the next store has in stock, hmm?"

I think we have to cut them a break. It's hard to keep finding green items to post.

Want an eco friendly swimsuit? Just go skinnydipping. Don't worry about your body. Everyone has one. Don't forget the sunscreen.

Sorry but I'm just not getting an eco friendly vibe. Most appear to take advantage of neoslave labor at some point in the production, and that's not green.

That's what I think too. Organic cotton does not an eco-friendly bikini make.

Eleven full body shots of women; one upper body shot of a woman with breasts emphasized. Four shots of men's suits, but no models. Sexism at work here?

Yes. Apparently women are whole persons while men are nothing more than faceless meat packages. How distressing. I think I am traumatized.
