Our Commitment to People and Planet:
We strongly believe in teaching the appreciation and preservation of our world. Being realistic that an organic tee probably won't save the world, we believe that it is just one more positive step we can take to make the world a better place. We strive to use the most earth-friendly, non-toxic materials and practices, but as of right now there just are no real "perfect" solutions. Nearly everything people do has an impact on our planet in one way or the other. That being said, we are committed to being honest about our practices, doing our best to use the most eco-friendly/people friendly goods and practices that are available to us now and continue to research new and improved methods. |

How can you help save the earth?
Here are just a few tips/resources:
- Buy clothing and products that are made responsibly (organic, sustainable, etc.)
- Make recycling a priority--have your kids be in charge of collecting the recyclables and turning them in. Then they can keep the change and get in the habit of doing something great for the earth.
- Buy local and organic produce and products
- Use your car less! Take a walk or a bike ride--it's good for you and the earth!
- Sign up for email updates from an organization like NRDC or Pooka Club to get updates on actions you can take to let your voice be heard.
- Properly dispose of or recycle your hazardous waste such as:
- Donate your old clothes and belongings to a non-profit organization. If they can't sell it they'll usually send it to a recycler.
- Make an effort to use less: water, electricity, gas, etc. Just simple little cutbacks can really add up!
- Tell your elected officials to be a part of the solution!
