Our planet is an amazing place, but it needs our help to thrive! That’s why each year on April 22, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet from things like pollution and deforestation. By taking part in activities like picking up litter and planting trees, we’re making our world a happier, healthier place to live.

Here at Eagle Mountain, we are always trying to do our part in protecting our earth and making it a cleaner and happier place for everyone. Below are some of our favorite planet-friendly products that could be incorporated into your daily life so we can help keep the earth cleaner together.

RePatriot Flags

Our RePatriot Flags are 100% eco-friendly products completely made from recycled bottles. The yarn is created from the bottles and then woven together to create the fabric. The material is dyed red and blue and sewn into flags with extra stitching on the fly end and reinforced corners to extend the flag's lifespan. The finished product resembles the look and feel of a traditional nylon flag. It can take at least 15 bottles to create enough yarn for 1 flag.

Our American and Texas RePatriot flags are 100% USA made and are great for both indoor and outdoor use!

StarGazer Downlight

The StarGazer is an Eagle Mountain exclusive product that we co-developed to efficiently light the flag from top down, rather than from the bottom up.

How is this lighting option different? Because of the top down approach, the StarGazer is considered to be Dark Sky compliant. Dark Sky compliant is a movement designed to reduce light pollution so we can better enjoy the stars and constellations at night. Although the StarGazer isn’t derived from recycled products or reducing air pollution, it IS allowing us to enjoy the earth’s natural beauties while still following the flag code.

Solar Lights

If you still need to light your RePatriot flags at night but want a more budget friendly option while still staying green, our Solar Lights are for you! The solar lights are our most energy efficient lighting and can be ideal for customers who intend on leaving their flag up 24/7 and want a low maintenance option.

Additionally, you can also have your Dark Sky Compliant StarGazer option, but have the solar power component too. Best of both ~earths~! 

Other Ways to Celebrate Earth Day

While flags that are made from recycled materials and eco-friendly lighting options are great products to incorporate into your daily life, if you’re looking for something a little more Earth Day specific then you’ll want to check out our nylon Ecology Flag.

The Ecology Flag is a cultural symbol used primarily in the 1970s by American environmentalists. It is a symbol of people's commitment to cleaning up the environment. The green and white colors symbolize “the pure air and the green land”. The oval with a line through the middle is a stylized symbol combining the initial letters in the words “environment” and “organism”.

There are many easy lifestyle changes that you can make to help conserve the Earth for future generations and you can start today to make your home and your life a little greener!
