Eco-Pretty Bamboo Umbrellas: The Brelli
Eco-Pretty Bamboo Umbrellas: Get Under the Brelli... Elli, Elli, Elli...

Sometimes simple things are the best, and that's why we love the Brelli, which is an eco-friendly umbrella with barebones design that actually comes off quite elegant. Made of sustainable bamboo and a patented biodegradable canopy, the umbrella's impact on the planet is very minimal. The Brelli also is completely biodegradable within five years of being in a landfill, so you need not feel guilty losing it or tossing it once Mother Nature has had her way with it. If you live in a weather-intense city like Chicago or Seattle, you probably go through more umbrellas than most. So it's an eco-pretty alternative to those nylon-and-scrap-metal, five-dollar umbrellas that pinch your fingers.

We know it may sound a little eco-maniacal to champion something like a mere umbrella, but every bit counts. It's the idea of going back to basics (sustainable bamboo) and melding them with new technology (the patented biodegradable canopy) that we applaud. Because if we get in the mindset of... Oh, that's just an umbrella, or that's just a lightbulb, or that's just a chair... Then we totally miss the point of making the biggest change of all, the collective sum of all the little things we do to improve our impact on the environment.

Okay, we're done. :) Not being preachy! Of course, you could always go gorilla-style eco and just decide to get soaked, but that just wouldn't be that pretty, would it? Plus, you know you would have more enjoyment singing... Under my um... Brelli, elli, elli, elli... ay, ay, ay... Under my um... Brelli, elli, elli, elli... ay, ay, ay. C'mon! You know you're humming it in your head now.
