This morning our local paper, The Oregonian, posted a front page article posing the question, "Paper or Plastic?" and did a great life-cycle-analysis (LCA) comparison between our two favorite grocery-store freebies. Their conclusion? Bring your own reusable bag and eliminate the question altogether (would you like to waste THIS way or would you like to waste THIS OTHER way?). It's fantastic to see issues like this finally making the headlines in local and national publications.. it's about time! Thanks for your comments!

This brutally honest depiction of America's consumption is a huge eye opener. I have just posted it to our blog in hopes that more eyes will view these images and rethink the question, "Paper or Plastic?" BTW - Great site and clothing. I have yet to physically touch or try on any of your products, but knowing the history of your company, I look forward to owning a couple pieces when I head to Portland next. Cheers.

What a difference a few years makes. Cheers to the artist! This is brilliant…back in my “beverage marketing” days is was so easy to ignore these facts. What a difference a few years makes.
