I can't believe you were naive enough to believe their marketing campaign in the first place.

Kudos cyclones2015 for calling them out on their B.S.

I didn't say I believed them. These marketing stories are taught in brand building classes now and almost all BS. They were clearly misleading in their statement but as I pointed out may not have been an out right lie. I was calling 2015 out for going all Woodward and Bernstein with his smoking gun alibaba picture that wasn't even the same glasses. If you are going to make allegations and smear someones business, back it up.

Their website says that. So they are most certainly claiming it. And I'm personally a young ISU entrepreneur as well that does things the right away instead of lying straight to my customers faces about a higher cause to the business (helping the environment).

Is that like Fran McCafferry right way?

I actually think you're probably right, but had to give you a hard time about that.

I'm surprised the article didn't think to ask them anything about how the glasses were actually manufactured.

Next you're going to tell me 300 dollar sunglasses aren't worth 300 dollars.

Been thinking about this a little more and I am guessing that the lenses are probably a "green" product also. I expect they are recycled from plastic six-pack holders after the plastic was removed from the necks of endangered sea turtles.

Shut up and take my money.
