Shower In Your Suit To Conserve Money and Resources
Nov 16, 2008


Japan's Konaka has designed a suit that can be cleaned in the shower...while you take a shower. It is called (you guessed it) the Shower Clean Suit, and its goal is to reduce dry cleaning. It appears that dry cleaners use dangerous chemicals like perchloroethylene.


Japan has done it again. Way to come up with another outrageous invention that only you could have thought of. I thought it was weird when they came out with Godzilla and vending machienes that sell you batteries and underwear... but this is too weird. The only way this product is a success is financially... it can save me money. I understand what they are trying to do... make a cleaner earth, but there has got to be another way. Back to the drawing board.

Speaking of which... I wonder what they went back to before the drawing board was invented????

Post 4 Just Do It.... If It's Green

JUST DO IT: Nike Wins With Green Athletic Gear

Nike is going eco friendly with their clothing and shoe designs. Nike has already been eco friendly by creating tracks that are made up of ground up tennis shoes. This time around, they are making cloths out of 100% organic cotton and 100% recylcled polyester.

Nike just got a lot cooler. The company has already been on top of the sporting world, but with this move, they are leaps and bounds ahead of the other sports companies. I don't know how well their shoes will be. I think they'll wither fall apart easier, or they will be very uncomfortable as shown on the picture in the link. The coolest thing is that even though their clothing will be switching to organic material, Nike will still be able to apply their "Dri-Fit" technology to their shirts and shorts. The pictures that are shown on the link are kind of an eyesore though (see the shoes). I expect this project to be perfected in a couple of years.

Nau: The Eco-Friendly Performance Wear Mavens are Back
October 23, 2008

The article is about the clothing company Nau is back. They were forced to stop producing because of business difficulties.

I thought this article would tell me about the clothing line and what it would do to help the environment...but it was just an article saying that it was back. So I sought out to find what this company was all about, and here's what I came up with...
Nau's fabric deesigners work with their suppliers to create new, more sustainably produced fabric. Their goal is to produce high proformance clothes, while keeping it eco friendly. Out of the 28 fabrics that were created, 26 were made from scratch using the lightest weighted cotton to the heaviest wool. They do not pick their cotton that has been covered in pesticide, which is great because it will do wonders to nature, including preventing runoff into rivers. This company is revolutionary, and more should follow suit. It will create a cleaner planet, and from what the lazy environmentalists say, this stuff works well.
