Choose the Winning Cradle to Cradle Umbrella!

Since the umbrella most of us know is a cheap disposable poster child for poor design and wasteful manufacturing, I.D. Magazine, The Sustainable Style Foundation, and TreeHugger asked for a smarter version. Our rockin' Umbrella Inside Out judges (including Cradle to Cradle co-author Bill McDonough!) spent the last week evaluating over 100 incredible entries from around the globe to bring you these innovative tools for keeping dry.

Will it be the water recycling Penta? The biologically and technically nutritious Ramesh? The recyclable Rotary? The Ball-and-Socketed Crayella? Or the completely biodegradable Pollinate? We will be counting down the finalists all week. Come back to support your favorite!
