All Your Green Blog

We recently added Green Guru products to our Outdoors and Apparel categories. These tough, high quality additions are manufactured by Ecologic Designs in Boulder, CO. They are positively role models for green companies. They started from a background in hiking, surfing, camping, mountain biking, climbing, etc. Now they have a company that focuses on products for these lifestyles that are made out of recycled materials.

Not only that, but they do road trips to promote their products, hitting bike trails and the like between stops. And what do they drive? Why, none other than a bio-diesel (or even just straight vegetable oil!) powered ambulance! They're like the Ghostbusters of Green.

In addition, they make everything within 15 miles of their location. That means everything is entirely made in the USA. As they described to us, "and pay our sewers about $12/hr, not .50/day." I like their style.

Currently we carry a couple of their wallets, a hemp messenger bag, and a zipper pouch. We've been really amazed by the quality of craftsmanship on these products. In addition, we are really impressed with their company culture, and dedication to conservation and outdoor recreation, and we're happy to be working with them!
