One Small Sustainable Swimwear Brand is Fighting to Stop Climate Change and Lead a Better World For Future Generations With Every Swimsuit Made
New York, New York (PRWEB) February 23, 2015 -- On January 20th during the State of the Union Address, President Obama communicated that the biggest challenge facing the world today is climate change... "And no challenge – no challenge – poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change."... "2014 was the planet’s warmest year on record. Now, one year doesn’t make a trend, but this does – 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have all fallen in the first 15 years of this century." (President Obama, CNN.com, January 20th, 2015).
It is imperative now more than ever to reduce our carbon footprint and help prevent further environmental demise. In the swimwear industry Aqua Green® is leading this charge with two brands; ECO SWIM® and ECO PEACE®. Aqua Green garments are made right here in the USA, using Repreve fibers knit from recycled materials including pre and post industrial waste like water bottles and plastic bags. Approximately two recycled water bottles are used in the manufacturing process of each Aqua Green swimsuit made.
Over the past three years, Aqua Green and their retail partners have hosted beach and river cleanups spreading environmental awareness, promoting eco-fashion and creating community while helping to restore our oceans and waterways. Aqua Green, their retail partners, and thousands of volunteers have removed over 5 tons of trash.
Spreading the word and supporting local brands like Aqua Green can make a difference and help lead the way to a better planet for future generations. The blame rests with us if we do not take action to change.
