"The shirts have been a big hit with everyone at GRCC.
Last week there
was a national American Wind Energy Association meeting in GR and we
all wore our shirts to it and received many comments about how
professional we looked. Apparently Bamboo is very good for wicking
away moisture and that was looked at as a plus in addition to its
environmental friendliness."

"Your items were a huge success! The brown women's tee that you did for us with the white USGBC logo was probably our most popular item. I only wish we had one for men as well, as the guys really love this item! Our former chairman of the board liked it so much that he actually bought a women's for himself!! It was a big success! I was very happy with all the product. You did a great job, and our attendees appreciated the level of sophistication with the merchandise as well as the sustainability component."

"A just and sustainable world requires mindfulness of what we say, do,
think, buy, and use. Buying hemp garments is a radical act. Do it. It makes a huge contribution to a sane and gentler economy and unlike sending money for
a cause, you get to feel and see your contribution every day. The way the world sources cotton and cellulose fiber (wood) is killing diverse forms of life. Hemp can replace both. It undermines agribusiness and forest products conglomerates, while supporting small farmers, manufacturers and suppliers."

"I LOVE THE SHIRTS, they are probably the best dress/casual shirts I have ever had. Will be buying all the colors when I have some extra cash."

"In a society such as our own where immense multi-national corporations have domain over all aspects of the political and social landscape, perhaps the greatest power individual citizens have to bring about political change is through consumer responsibility. The American consumer must resist the temptation of low cost products, which support the devastation of the environment as well as global culture and stability. This requires the individual to take time to get informed and inform others of positive consumer alternatives. Where the American dollar goes, corporation interests and government policy will follow. Therefore it is essential that consumers support and share information about renewable products such as hemp in order to shift the mechanisms of our
society toward a more sustainable and harmonious future."

"How uplifting, refreshing and beautiful it was for me to see a business run with such heart, integrity and faith. Not only did I purchase some wonderful clothing, but I felt better about myself and saw the good in the hearts of mankind that is so often overlooked and forgotten about by the world.
Thank you for your wonderful store."
