Are your feet winter-ready?  Check out eco-friendly shoe designer, Po-Zu’s Autumn/Fall line of seriously environmentally friendly shoes and boots.

Po-Zu’s warm winter shoes are also breathable because they’re lined with naturally thermal bio-based materials, such as unbleached and undyed pure felt wool and vegetable tanned sheepskin.  Po-Zu is now treating its tweed, felt and sheepskin shoes with an eco-friendly water-resistant coating.  Waxed suede shoes are treated with coconut shoe cream to improve water resistance.

Po-Zu makes an effort to be green in all phases of its operations: they use the purest bio-based environmental and worker-friendly materials throughout our supply chain – maximizing the use of truly sustainable and renewable natural materials, such as hemp, cork, latex, and wool.

For me — when playing golf, aside from the rush of chipping in from off the green, nothing beats an exhilarating spin in a golf cart.  Especially on that mountaintop course.

Take that fun factor, add a few engineering tweaks, and put it on the road.  Now you’ve got yourself a shiny new toy.  Upscale golf cart maker, Garia just launched the first-ever, mini roadster of sorts, the Garia Golf Car.  The Garia LSV electric vehicle will get you where you need to be via the roadway as long as you don’t mind taking the slow lane  (LSV is short for Low Speed Vehicle).  Ideal for local spins…it’s the perfect little ride for the beach shack to farmers’ market to country club commute.
