Many thanks to Purple Asparagus for highlighting Hand Picked Pumpkin in their newsletter this week along side another great green shop Pivot. Here is the excerpt taken directly from the Purple Asparagus February 2008 newsletter:
Green Businesses
Two relatively new businesses that seemed interesting to us are Hand Picked Pumpkin and Pivot. Hand Picked Pumpkin is a clothing company for kids whose green efforts include contracting with local seamstresses, purchasing domestic materials, recycling, using non-toxic cleaning products and incorporating energy efficiencies in the design studio. It also has committed to donating a percentage of yearly profits to national charity organizations that specifically center their efforts on helping children. For adults, there's Pivot Boutique, voted recently one of Chicago's Sweetest Things in 2007, which is a clothing boutique that specializes in eco-fashion. Easy on the eyes and the environment.
The Purple Aspargus Newsletter is a great resource full of information on green issues, products and events.
