Nothing helps protect you from a November chill quite like fleece. Fleece jackets, vests, pants, socks and blankets are a great way to stay warm without bulking up or turning on the heat. Fleece products are now available in “green”, also known as eco-fleece and ecospun. These alternatives are earth-friendly because they’re made from 70% recycled soda bottles. Eco-fleece is wonderfully soft and provides superior warmth with minimal weight, while wicking away moisture. If you’re still sporting your regular fleece, great! It’s always better to continue to use what you have than to buy new. When your old polar-fleece gets too worn to wear, consider recycling it. Patagonia recycles many of their own products, and polar fleece from other companies as well. Once you’ve recycled your old piece of fleece, pick up an environmentally friendly replacement to keep you snug as a bug in a rug.
