Eco-luxury is fun any time anywhere. Especially in Mexico – where Polartec is offering a Grand Prize of a free trip for two to the Hotelito Desconocido eco-luxury resort. The hotel, 60 miles South of Puerto Vallarta, has luxurious vegetation, 150 types of birds, white sandy beaches protected by the Sierra Madre mountains and two 100% organic restaurants.

And if you don’t win that, you get a jacket — which is waaay better than a T-shirt because this jacket is a very hip 2009 North Face Denali jacket made from Polartec^® recycled-content fabric. You may not think of Polartec – those hi-tech fabrics for outdoor gear — as being natural and eco-friendly but the company is making a big push into recycling. Don’t be put off by the three-question quiz you have to take to enter – it’s fun and you may even learn something new about carbon emissions in the process. Go to Polartec Eco-Champion contest.
