We only have one earth and as a society we’ve been making lots of decisions that have not been helpful.

When you began to think about using laundered items, you are taking a step towards healing the biosphere.

The first and most obvious advantage to moving to laundered items is the reusability factor.

By making a switch to laundered items, you are moving from a “throw-away” culture, to that of mindful sustainability.

Another obvious advantage is found in the sheer number of resources that are saved.

Every time a new product is created, some of the earth’s resources are used. This is a one way path to depletion.

When you make the decision to wear a work uniform that is designed for sustainability, you are making a statement.

You may not think that “saving money” benefits the environment, but it does!

When you choose to purchase work apparel that need not be replaced regularly, you have more money to invest in other green products.

Making good choices for others as well as ourselves is part of being a responsible adult.

These are also the qualities that we need to be sure to pass to the next generation.

Sustainability, reusability, and being resource minded. With these three ideas, you can change the world.
