Greensource CEO Addresses Sustainable Apparel at Antioch University Seattle January 21


Seattle, WA (Vocus) January 20, 2010

David Basson, CEO of organic apparel manufacturer Greensource , will discuss the numerous steps the company has taken to develop sustainable apparel at an Antioch University Seattle event Thursday, January 21, 2010, from 7-9 p.m. Specifically, he will address how Greensource integrates environmental, social, and economic benefits into its production of trendy and affordable jeans and tops that are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard and sold at major retailers such as Walmart (?Faded Glory?), Kmart (?Route 66?), and Kohl?s (?ReGen?).

The lecture, entitled ?Transforming the Global Footprint of American Business,? is hosted by the Network for Business Innovation & Sustainability and at the Antioch University Seattle, 2326 Sixth Avenue, Room 100. It is free and open to the public.

Apparel magazine named Greensource a ?Sustainability All-Star? in 2009 with the editors noting that Greensource?s ?field-to-shelf involvement in creating a more eco-friendly supply chain is particularly focused on keeping toxic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and defoliants out of the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe.?

Global retail sales of organic cotton apparel and home textile products reached an estimated $ 3.2 billion in 2008, according to the Organic Cotton Market Report 2009 by the non-profit organization Organic Exchange. According to the report, Greensource is the ninth largest designer and manufacturer of organic cotton apparel in the world. If its considerable private label production for major retailers were taken into account, the company would actually rank much higher.

Other speakers include:

Karl Ostrom, Co-Director of the Network for Business Innovation & Sustainability (NBIS)
David Okrent, Brand Director, Environment and Sustainability, The Boeing Company
Dennis Gawlik, Faculty, Bainbridge Graduate Institute and Director of Purchasing Services, University of Washington.
Valerie Bone, Director of Quality/Corporate Social Responsibility, Pacific Market International

Looking south from the arch there are two bridges. The closer one is the old Route 66 passage, which has many other names: I-70, I-64, I-55, I-44, and US40. It is known as the Poplar Street Bridge, or more officially, the Bernard F. Dickmann Bridge.

The truss bridge in the background was named after General Douglas MacArthur. Construction started in 1909 but didn’t open until 1917.

Stereo: www.youtube.com Buck Norris sings Route 66 by Bobby Troup. “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66″, often rendered simply as “Route 66″, is a popular song and rhythm and blues standard, composed in 1946 by American songwriter Bobby Troup. It was first recorded in the same year by Nat King Cole, and was subsequently covered by many artists including Chuck Berry in 1961 and The Rolling Stones in 1964. The song’s lyrics follow the path of the US Route 66 highway, which used to run a large distance across the US, going from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California. The title was suggested to Troup by his first wife, Cynthia. Troup conceived the idea for the song while driving west from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, California, and the lyrics — which include references to the US highway of the title and many of the cities it passes through — celebrate the romance and freedom of automobile travel. In an interview he once said the tune for the song, as well as the lyric “Get your kicks on Route 66″ came to him easily, but the remainder of the lyrics eluded him. More in frustration than anything else he simply filled up the song with the names of towns and cities on the highway. The lyrics read as a mini-travelogue about the major stops along the route, listing several cities and towns that Route 66 passes through. Specifically mentioned, in order, are St. Louis, Missouri; Joplin, Missouri; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Amarillo, Texas; Gallup, New Mexico; Flagstaff, Arizona; Winona
