Hats Off!

Hats off to you.... for wearing a hat!

Are you concerned about the planet?  Doing your best to go green? Hats off to you, then.  Come to think of it, let’s say “hats on!”

There is so much more to hats than their fashion statement.  Now you can learn about their health benefits, and how you can choose the “greenest hat” to adorn your head.

Whether you are looking for function, form or both, there are many green hats out there from which to choose.  Just check out the Urban Nomads video below, which illustrates a useful, everyday option for people concerned about UV exposure.

Women and men alike choose hats to express not only their style, but also protect their faces from the potentially damaging rays of the sun.  With the numerous options available, why not select the most eco-friendly versions out there?  Fortunately, you can pick among a number of green hats for your wardrobe  – just like choosing a pair of green jeans.

Green hats are good for you and the environment

Even if you choose headwear simply for its style, you can go green.  Just choose a version made of hemp, organic cotton or even paper!

Be sure to try on a hat in front of a full-length (not just face) mirror.  This will give you a sense of scale vis-a-vis the hat and your frame.  Another helpful tip is to always wear facial moisturizer with sunscreen.  Even if you are going to don a hat, you should make sure that your face is protected to prevent against sun damage, including premature aging and skin cancer.

When purchasing a hat, why not look into the manufacturer’s history as well?  Some organizations donate a portion of their proceeds to cancer organizations, like headcovers.com.

Going green has never been eaiser.
