The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

Collared Greens was founded in the famous outdoor recreational resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho by a group of passionate outdoor enthusiasts. We believed in creating a business that would both support and create American jobs, as well as conserve and protect the environment. Created using environmentally friendly materials and practices, our American made company features a distinctive line of neckwear, organic cotton knits and t-shirts, belts, and accessories. Why Collared Greens? First, it's a word play on the delicious Southern dish collard greens. Secondly, most of our products either include or are worn with a collar. As you may have guessed, our polar bear brand symbol was suggested by this magnificent animal's status as an iconic endangered species. Founded in 2008, the CG/24 conservation project is a company-wide commitment to help raise awareness and support for the environment. Each year, Collared Greens supports the mission of three to four non-profit organizations whose work focuses solely on conservation. In 2012, Collared Greens partnered with Polar Bears International, The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and Trout Unlimited. These organizations were chosen by the very people who make this possible, our valued customers. Through the efforts of the CG/24 conservation project, Collared Greens donates 1% of sales on behalf of the worldwide organization, 1% For The Planet, and 1% of profits on behalf of the CG/24 initiative. The company also offsets its carbon footprint with Native Energy. |
