Here’s a little ditty manufactured by Totes, and available online exclusively at Crate and Barrel.  The Coby Eco Umbrella allows opening at the touch of a button, and folding into a mini.

eco attributes: The canopy is created entirely from recycled plastic bottles; the frame is comprised of 70-percent recycled material (headed in the right direction); handle is made from renewable bamboo and the strap is from super durable, hemp.  available online, ($19.95) @ Crate and Barrel.  Or get wet and go wild.
