Handmade Organic Cotton and hemp clothing hand dyed with low impact dyes





Mystery School Clothing Co. offers great original design clothing made from Organic cotton and hemp blend fabrics and hand dyed with low impact dyes. These dyes are better for the environment because the dye bath contains only 5% of the dyes after being used. Supporting Organic clothing makes a difference for our future because the amount of pesticides used on growing conventional cotton makes a horrible impact on our environment. The shirts pictured above are stylish and made in America by a small woman owned business. We can all make a difference by spending more consciously and supporting ethically produced eco-friendly clothing. Check the site for other great items and gift ideas. www.mysteryschoolclothing.com

San Francisco Green Festival

The San Francisco Green Festival will be happening November 10th - November 12. You can see all kinds of things that are making a difference for our future there, plus you can get a head start on the holiday shopping for unique, eco-friendly gifts you can feel great about buying for your loved ones. There will also be tons of speakers and workshops, so this is a great opportunity to learn some new things about being eco-conscious. Considering that a recent article on Yahoo yesterday states that we will run out of resources by the year 2050, this is an imperative time for all of us to be making changes in the way we think and live.
