We nearly fell out of our tree pose when we found out these ultra-adorable and totally comfortable Teeki yoga pants are made entirely from recycled bottles -- literally, about 25 water bottles go into each pair. The bottles are stripped of caps and labels, washed, crushed, and chopped before being melted into pellets and changed into fiber. The fiber is then stretched and baled into fabric and turned into these insanely cool pants. Add to all that that the process is done entirely in Los Angeles (making them even more eco-friendly!) and we think we're in love.

Ambika
<a href="http://ambikaboutique.bigcartel.com/product/cinched-bandau-top" target="_hplink">Ambika's sexy handknit bikinis</a> look delicate and sweet, but they are designed for swimming and playing outside all summer long. Made by hand in upstate New York, they come in quite a few sexy designs, and some even have sweet (detachable) jewelry for a little swimming accessorizing.
Eco Swim
<a href="http://ecoswim.com/" target="_hplink">Eco Swim by Aqua Green</a> is a swimsuit line that's sold across the country in department stores like Lord & Taylor, Macy's and Nordstrom's -- and it's made from recycled plastic bottle material and other recycled materials. Green goes mainstream, and check out how good it looks! Made in the USA and from a fourth-generation family owned company, too.
Zuma
The <a href="http://www.kaightshop.com/products/zuma-bead-bikini" target="_hplink">Zuma Bead bikini by Kelly B</a> is made from a bamboo/organic cotton/spandex mix and is made in Los Angeles. This is one of those simple, cute suits that you can dress up next to the pool or wear as-is on the beach.
Rachel Comey
<a href="http://www.beklina.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_52&products_id=820&osCsid=tqmb577b18vos9q677s19do1a6" target="_hplink">Rachel Comey's revival bikini </a>is designed and made in New York City, cutting its carbon footprint and resulting in a subtley graphic suit that's perfect for the woman with a creative bent.
Nikster
<a href="http://www.niksters.com/product_detail.php?pid=758" target="_hplink">Nikster's bikini </a>is made in the USA from bamboo fabric. I love the fact that you can choose a different sized top or bottom so if one is bigger than the other, you can get a comfortable fit. The cute black heart detail lends this otherwise classic bikini a touch of fun.
