Pay attention Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

The Philadelphia Eagles have taken their annual “Cheerleaders Calendar” and made this year’s version “eco-sexy”. And it’s not only the recycled paper that’s got people, ahem, excited — the women featured are also wearing organic cotton bikinis (or bikinis made from recycled plastic soda bottles) and flashing some additional green elements. Take for instance, the little blurb featured under Miss November, Devan West:

“DEVAN is wearing an organic cotton top with windmill graphic and organic cotton bikini bottoms; windmill necklace symbolizing alternative energy; pendant imprinted with the word ‘green’ made from silver collected from old film which was combined with an organic binder and fired to create a silver medium that is 99.9% pure silver; shell bracelet; stone earrings”

The eco-calendar is all part of the club’s “Go Green” program that incorporates sustainable initiatives, like recycling and renewable energy, into every aspect of the organization.

You can pre-order the calendar for $14.99 here — or jump over to Philly.com for additional photos.
