Let’s face it, rollerblading is pretty outdated and fruity (except for at the beach for some reason). But, you can throw all that aside for Mother Earth and be eco-friendly with these K2 Eco Friendly Skates. You may want to help the environment a little bit by skating instead of driving so why not do it on skates that are, by themselves, environment-friendly. The boot of the K2 skates are made of recycled PET bottles while the frame’s material isn’t exactly what you’d normally find in roller skates/blades. They’re made of bamboo, one of the most sustainable and most flexible materials ever. Because bamboo is fibrous, your ride will be smoother than on skates with conventional frames made of plastic or aluminum. At the end of your skate’s life, every bit of it can be recycled so it’s still eco-friendly right up to the bitter end. These skates actually look pretty cool with the bamboo, maybe even cool enough to wear. $190.
