Green Sleeves
It’s not often you find a company whose mission is “…to build a sustainable company that simultaneously looks after the People, the Planet, and Profits.” TS Designs walks the talk in Burlington, NC. Their shirts start as organic cotton blanks, are printed with water-based inks, and then dyed to the buyer’s specs with low impact dyes.
The green practices are taken beyond the product and throughout the campus of the business: there is a wind turbine, solar panels, a biodiesel station, and a compost pile. Oh wait! There’s also a methane digester to heat one of the several on-campus greenhouses where seeds are started for their gardens, which go from the ground to employee lunches. Check out the map of the site for all the eco-details.
If it sounds like a little slice of heaven, it looks like they have a couple job openings right now, too!
That is awesome!
