Guilt Free Shopping: The number one consumer driving trend for 2014. How do we meet the growing demand for product in a way that satisfies consumers interest in not damaging the planet, the animals we share the planet with or the people who manufacture the product. We find new materials to manufacture in and we work directly with manufacturers in the supply chain.

Pesticide And Chemical Use In COTTON
Cotton uses more
insecticides than any
other crop in the world with
almost 50% considered toxic
enough to be classified
hazardous by the World
Health Organization
Hazardous chemicals
associated with cotton
production threaten global
freshwater resources
Hazardous chemicals
have severe health
implications with between 1
and 3% of agricultural
workers worldwide suffering
from acute pesticide
poisoning
Chemicals enter the
environment through spray
drift, run off and absorption
and affect freshwater
resources and enter the
food web upsetting
sensitive eco systems
Hazardous pesticides
applied during cotton
production can also be
detected in cotton clothing

17. WATER IMPACTS OF COTTON
Cotton is the world’s thirstiest crop with up to 20,000 liters of water required. to make 1kg of cotton – equivalent to a
t-shirt and a pair of jeans. The water required to supply at least 73% of the world’s cotton crops is withdrawn from
freshwater resources, through extensive irrigation and damming
LAND IMPACTS HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS
Salinity
Reduced vegetation cover, baking, compaction and
sealing of the soil surface
Soil erosion
Destruction of soil fertility
Fragmentation of natural habitats, no longer providing
for the original plants and animals
Contamination of the land, with the absorption of
pesticides by soil particles
Pesticides and chemicals entering the ecosystem
and being passed through the food chain
The bulk of cotton production occurs in developing countries
From West Africa to Egypt, Uzbekistan to India, instead of being
at school, children are involved in cotton production; handpicking
cotton, applying pesticides, or producing cottonseed.
Uzbekistan is the second largest exporter of cotton in the world. The
Uzbek state acquires cotton by means of compulsory purchase and
earns in excess of $1B USD per year from cotton exports.
In Uzbekistan, toxic agrochemicals first applied to cotton 50 years ago
now pollute the country’s land, air, food and drinking water. The Uzbek
dictatorship still sanctions the use of extremely toxic chemicals even
though they cause damage to human health and the environment

18. IKEA, one of the leaders in responsible manufacturing, declared in a 2008
environmental impact study that 8 to 10% of all cotton grown in the world ends up
in IKEA textiles and that to produce that cotton more water is used in one year
than the whole Swedish population would consume in 264 years! IKEA is launching
a 7 pronged plan to reduce its use of cotton by blending with other materials,
substituting and reducing the overall amount used with improved efficiencies
MANUFACTURING AND COTTON

19. NO PLASTIC PLEASEHealth and Environment Impacts of Plastic
TOXIC TO US AND THE PLANETNON-BIODEGRADABLE DESTROYS THE OCEANS
Plastic is not biodegradable, but
photodegradable. And in reality,
most plastic does not ever
disappear, but becomes long-lasting
"plastic dust". When items like plastic
bags break down, they readily soak
up (and release) toxins that then
contaminate soil and water, as well
as harming animals that ingest plastic
fragments
Every square mile of ocean has
46,000 pieces of plastic floating in it.
That is why over a million sea birds,
whales, seals, dolphins, sea turtles, and
so on die from plastic debris that ends
up in our oceans and seas. 100,000
sharks are also part of the death toll.
Plastic islands can be seen in parts of
the world from airplanes. These islands
kill ocean animals and destroy their
ability to use sonar
Plastic contains toxins, such as
phthalates, BPA and flame retardants.
And as plastic breaks down, it can
absorb many dangerous toxins more
easily, such as damaging pesticides
like DDT, PCB and PAH. The impact of
these toxins on our health are still
being assessed. Sustains the Petroleum
Industry The production of plastic for
the U.S. alone uses 331 billion barrels
of petroleum, equal to 5 percent of
the national consumption of
petroleum. Petroleum production and
its use plays a harmful role in polluting
the environment, as its use
contaminates the water and air

20. WITH ONE RAW MATERIAL WE CAN
CHANGE THE WORLD

21. Bamboo grows naturally
without pesticides
Bamboo are the most
prolific and sustainable
plants in the world
Bamboo helps combat
global warming
Bamboo is used to improve
damaged soil. The roots
rapidly take up excess
nitrogen, phosphorus and
heavy metals
Bamboo is stronger
than most woods and
stronger than steel
When a tree is chopped
down it can take almost a
century to grow back to its’
original state. Bamboo returns
to maturity within 3-5 years
Bamboo is more water
efficient than cotton
Bamboo is naturally
antibacterial and contains
a natural antibacterial
agent and pesticide known
as “Bamboo Kun”.
Bamboo is a safe, chemical-free
alternative crop for many poor
rural communities
Bamboo has a diverse range
of uses: textiles, plastics,
shelter, food, utensils, arts
and crafts, and furniture.
