Today 98% of the clothing sold in the USA is made overseas. Also, nearly all of that clothing come from fabrics that have a negative effect on the environment. That’s especially cotton. So as lovers of the outdoors, we want to create clothing that doesn’t pollute. For example, polluting the rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans. As a result, we want to make our clothing in the USA. All from organic cotton grown in the USA.
Why? Because 5.1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the US each year. Also, these poisons not only have a negative effect on the water we love to spend time in. They also have a negative effect on the bees. Also, the farm workers and their families and the drinking water. Most noteworthy are the creatures in the soil and the water.
The Solution: We believe we have a responsibility to create clothing that doesn’t pollute the environment, clothing made in a way that has a positive contribution not only to this generation of living creatures but also to future generations of living creatures.
Purakai makes a competitively priced shirt in the USA. All consequently from California Organic Cotton. That’s a shirt that brings much-needed manufacturing jobs back to the USA. So cool because they don’t pollute our oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams with harmful chemicals, a shirt you can be proud to wear.
