According to the National Post, if Al Gore and Elle McPherson had a child together, she’d probably turn out like Summer Rayne Oakes.

She’s totally fashionable and, at the same times, cares for the environment (she sports degrees in Environmental Science and Entomology in addition to gorgeous clothes and accessories) — sounds like someone you’d like to be friends with, doesn’t it? I thought so too!

The gorgeous activist and sustainable strategist works exclusively with eco and socially conscious designers, companies and programs. Her current partnership is with MODO Eyewear‘s  cool new green sunglasses collection. Every pair of shades in the line is made from at least 95% recycled materials, making them as helpful as they are stylish. The sunglasses are crafted from recycled plastic and hypoallergenic stainless steel. The retro inspired frames in solid, ombre, and tortoiseshell colors are an all year round treat, making them a great way to treat yourself after the holidays. Need glasses for more than just style? MODO company has a special take-back program that fills your frames with prescription lenses for vision impaired people in need.

So, we have: Identification with a super-cool woman –check!– and use of recycled materials –check!– but if you’re looking for yet another awesome, earthy reason to check out MODO, here it is: MODO is also a member of 1% for the Planet and they pledge to plant a tree for every pair of sunglasses sold. Breathing fresh air never looked so good!
