You can help the planet on Inauguration Day by purchasing Sunski sunglasses

Helping the environment is something we all wish we could do. If we had more time, a lot more of us would be spending it with nature. Even if we can’t directly help, there are other people that can.

This year, in celebration of Inauguration Day, Sunski wants to help us help the planet. As part of an “Oath of Action,” the eyewear producer will be donating 100 percent of its online sales to One Percent For the Planet.

The company was inspired by Patagonia’s promotion last year during Black Friday. It donated all sales from that day to grassroots nonprofits. Sunski already donates 1 percent of its earnings to a number of environmental organizations. On January 20, however, the firm will donate an additional 99 percent as well.

“We’re giving 100 percent of our sales to 1 Percent For the Planet on Inauguration Day to show solidarity with the outdoor industry and to inspire our supporters to stand up for the environment by taking action in their community,” said co-founder Michael Charley. “Each voice in the pack adds to the howl!”

There are three organizations that Sunski donates to. Adventurers and Scientist for Conversation is a newer one that pairs explorers with institutions that need research done. Rather than spending large amounts of money for scientists to gather samples, regular people who are just taking a hike can gather the samples. Basically, the organization aligns incentives so that everyone can get involved in conservation research.

Save the Waves is another organization that aims to protect the ocean from a variety of man-made threats. The ocean generates the wind, waves, food, and more, but we aren’t taking care of this giant resource. Save the Waves ensures a sustainable coastline for the future.

The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, meanwhile, focuses on teaching others to understand, protect, and cherish nature. There is a lot we can do to make a difference, but it does no good if other people aren’t aware.

Whether you lost a pair of sunglasses or not, consider Sunski on Inauguration Day. These are high-quality shades that won’t break the bank. Best of all, the $48 to $58 you spend goes to helping the planet you live on.

This trail-tested, road ready Aventon e-bike is $200 off — We gave it 4.5 stars
Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike for trail and off-road rides

At the risk of repeating myself, we are rather fond of Aventon e-bikes here at Digital Trends. They tend to review favorably because of how much value they offer. Take the Ramblas eMTB e-bike, for instance. We gave it four and a half stars in our review back in August. Resident reviewer and e-bike expert, Bruce Brown, praised it for its "strong hardtail" frame, excellent mid-drive torque, strong stopping power, smooth ride experience, and competitive pricing. The latter is a real highlight, but get this, it's also on sale right now for $200 off. So, that competitive pricing is even more enticing. Normally $2,899, it's down to $2,699 thanks to a big sale, saving you $200. Check out that sale for yourself, otherwise let's discuss why this is such a great e-bike, especially if you like trail riding.

 
Why do we love the Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike in this sale?

Mod Bikes launches a BMW-inspired, limited-edition sidecar e-bike
MOD Easy Sidecar Sahara limited edition e-bike.

Mod Bikes has introduced the Mod Easy Sidecar Sahara, a limited-edition sidecar-style cargo e-bike modeled on the 1940s BMW R75 Sahara motorcycle. On November 9, 2024, Mod will exhibit the Sidecar Sahara at the Electrify Expo at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack in Austin, Texas.
Mod does sidecars

The BMW R 75 Sahara, which inspired the limited-edition e-bike, is a highly collectible motorcycle. Mod Bikes is one of the few e-bike manufacturers that sells e-bikes with sidecars in the U.S., along with other styles. The versatile Easy Sidecar models transform in just a few minutes from a sidecar e-bike to a standard, two-wheel e-bike. However, the sidecar configuration is fun for carrying pets, children, small adults, and groceries or other cargo.

I’m convinced Pins and Aces golf outfits are great for everyone, not just athletes
Pins and Aces banner with clothing styles

Some clothing designs stand the test of time, others transcend fashion categories or groups, just like Pins & Aces. Allow me to explain. Primarily meant for golfers and athletes, Pins & Aces carries a wide variety of golf-themed gear from golf bags to unique club heads. I don't really play golf so that doesn't excite me much. Maybe it piques your interest? Anyway, what does interest me is the large collection of unique and snazzy apparel. They don't just carry polos, they also carry streetwear, hats, shorts, joggers, and even women's and youth apparel. Thanks to Black Friday and the holiday shopping season, a ton of Pins & Aces apparel is on sale right now too. Go check it out.
