Mervin Manufacturing are making boards with a top sheet that is made from beans. They then print the graphics on using water based inks "(The majority of the snowboard industry uses toxic solvent-based silk-screen inks with thick solvent-based gloss curtain coats)".

I hope more boarders will begin to feel like this, as surfers are more common for, and start 'saving snow'.

Some Threadless tshirt design submissions. This image is something our studio could relate to. Quite a few of us are either looking at maps or mountains. And the visual style of the two is well matched.

Perhaps something to remember when considering the logo.

Simple Shoes

A nice eco-friendly shoe from Simple Shoes. It can be hard to find eco friendly clothes that actually look like something you might wear.

These trainers are made from certified or organic sources, and the sole is made from a recycled tyre.

Especially like the ribbon laces.
