Want to make sure your clothes weren’t produced in a sweatshop? — Our National Green Pages™ is filled with screened clothing companies that source their garments responsibly, so you don’t have to wonder if your clothing purchase is fueling injustice in a factory thousands of miles away.
We here at Co-op America depend on our own Green Pages companies to make sure that our purchases avoid sweatshops too. For example, our Green Festival works with T.S. Designs, a longtime member of our green business network, to supply the thousands of soft, high-quality, organic, sweatship-free “Green Festival” T-shirts we give to our wonderful festival volunteers.
The good news is that “sweatshop-free” today goes beyond T-shirts. Searching the National Green Pages™ yields a green option for just about any apparel or household item you need; our editors compiled the list below by searching for sweat-free options on items people often ask us about.
Their picks are far from exhaustive, but clearly represent the reach of the green economy; we hope they inspire you to search the Green Pages on your own!
