PROTECT OUR EARTH GLASSES - SET OF 4


This product is environmentally friendly. Click icon for more information. These recycled glasses are made from the bottom halves of Bordeaux bottles that were "rescued" on the way to the landfill. A beautifully silk-screened branch design is accompanied by the phrase 'Protect Our Earth' in four languages: English, Spanish (Proteja Nuestra Tierra), Afrikaans/South African (Bewaar Ons A Arde) and French (Proteqez Notre Terre. Made in Wisconsin. Sold as a set of 4. Each is one-of-a-kind and will vary.

Complete your collection with Protect Our Air, Protect Our Water, and Protect Our Wildlife glasses.

Uncommon Knowledge: Each year, roughly 300 tons of glass bottles are donated by wineries and recycling organizations across the country to be turned into glasses like these. And because they are made from prefab bottles that don't need to be crushed or melted, the glasses use less energy to create than normal glassware.

Comments about PROTECT OUR EARTH GLASSES - SET OF 4:

These glasses are very nice. I find I reach for them first. They feel good, are very pretty, and are as sturdy as you'd think they'd be, being made from wine bottles after all. I will probably order more wine-bottle glasses soon.

Comments about PROTECT OUR EARTH GLASSES - SET OF 4:

We loved the 'protect our earth' glasses so much we bought the 'protect our water' set. Less than a year later and the etching is almost completely gone. Now they're just green and blue glasses.

UncommonGoods Response: We're so sorry to hear about your glasses! Please give us a call at 888-365-0056 and we can help you exchange them for new sets.

Purchased these recycled wine glasses for a wedding gift for friends. We included several bottles of wine in the gift basket as well as these four wine glasses and they loved it! They told us it was one of the most practical (yet unique) gifts they had received! We were pleased.

Comments about PROTECT OUR EARTH GLASSES - SET OF 4:

We received a set of four glasses as a Christmas gift. We felt the size LOOKED small but in reality, it holds a full glass of liquids. We wanted more and ordered them last week. The color of the green glass did not match exactly (our set was deeper green) but that's probably the fun of having such an item.

Comments about PROTECT OUR EARTH GLASSES - SET OF 4:

I bought these as a gift so I can't comment on the durability, but the design is very attractive. These are great for anyone who appreciates recycled products and strives to keep our earth clean. I'd never buy them for myself, however, because [$] is ridiculously expensive for four drinking glasses.
