So, there are a lot of very sustainable clothing companies out there, and I will for sure cover one from time to time. However, this one stands out in my mind more than many of the others because they seem to hit every aspect of being a green clothing company. Mission Playground is consistent from material, to manufacturing, to distribution, to message. I love the T-shirts because they're smart, artful, and completely on point, just like the one pictured above that depicts trees and buildings intertwining in a yin yang with the label "intelligent design." There's nothing sexier than a hip, smart T-shirt - and I'm not referring to the one that says "Welcome to the gun show." Now, the prices aren't dirt cheap, but I think $27 isn't bad for an organic cotton T-shirt that you know didn't use abusive labor practices for its creation.
Here's a little write-up from the company describing what they're all about:
"Mission Playground is a conscious, eco-friendly lifestyle clothing company for men, women and children with an objective to raise awareness for the environment. The earth is our playground; our mission is to preserve it. This philosophy underlies our operations, from design to production to distribution. Through progressive design, globally mindful art and production practices, we are constantly mindful of the impact we have and want to share that with you. This means using sustainable materials whenever and wherever possible.
Since our beginning in 2003, we have taken a different approach, using art and apparel as the messenger and starting a revolution that many have followed.
At Mission Playground, we are constantly looking to improve our sustainability. By using the most sustainable and organic fibers, certified manufacturing and being mindful of distribution, we are able to bring a message of authenticity and integrity to the market."
