PACT Organic Underwear

.
Join PACT at Atlas Walnut Creek next Saturday, Sept. 10 for an afternoon of underwear, models, and refreshments! You can even challenge the PACT founders to a game of ping-pong. What more could you ask for?

They say clothes make the man and you know Bonobos menswear has your back, and now they have your back…side, too!  In collaboration with our friends at Bonobos, we’ve designed a limited-edition collection of boxer briefs.
.
As with every pair of PACT, there are no pesticides, fertilizers, bleaches or other nasty stuff invited to this party. PACT is your everyday underwear that keeps everything down there cool and comfortable, making them the perfect under-accessory to any Bonobos pant.
.
PACT and Bonobos want you to feel even better about what’s in your pants – get your PACT for Bonobos exclusively at Bonobos.com

From Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal website:
.
It’s time to move America beyond dirty coal. Coal provides about half of our electricity and more than 30% of our global warming pollution. From the mine to the plant, to the ash pond, coal is our dirtiest energy source. It causes asthma and other health problems, destroys our mountains, and releases toxic mercury into our communities. Continuing our dependence on coal chains us to dirty energy and prevents us from making the changes we need to bring about a clean, secure energy future.
.
Coal has an impact on every single community — one way or another.

We’re making a PACT with our customers to take back the clothes we make – and even those that we don’t. Every year, tons of apparel ends up in landfills; it doesn’t have to be that way. Apparel can be re-used by someone in need, or recycled and turned into something new.
.
Want to recycle your clothing? It’s easy:
-Add one of our recycling kits to your cart. The mailer is pre-addressed and has prepaid postage already affixed.
-Fill it up with your old socks, underwear, and t-shirts.
-Drop the prepaid mailer in the mail, and you’re done!
.
When we receive your package, we’ll take it to a recycling center. Together, we prevent your clothes from ending up in a landfill.

Kimberly and the Sustainable Farm School really showed their dedication to clean energy during their protest in Connecticut. This group gave a wholehearted effort: they even held their event in the rain!
.

.
Decked out in rain boots, umbrellas, and (of course) their PACT underwear, the participants helped their community come together and get excited about cleaner energy alternatives. Despite the poor weather, the event was a huge success.  Kimberly says: “Our town appreciated us so much. Several people stopped at stop lights and asked us questions. Many of them did not know that we were still running on coal in this country! They all thanked us and said they would go home to find out more information. One mother in a mini-van with 4 children applauded us and another guy offered us his umbrella to keep. What a community building occasion.” They had so much fun, they are organizing another for next month!

Join in the excitement and organize your own flesh mob by signing up here!
.

A few simple steps for organizing your own Sierra Club/PACT Beyond Coal Flesh Mob:
.
1) Find some friends, classmates, club or community members to help you out.
.
2) Pick a date, time and sponsor (e.g. the Sierra Club Chapter of your university or your local environmental group). Plan to meet at least once before the event to create banners and signs and organize the event.
.
3) As necessary, make sure you let school administrators or your city know you will be organizing a small event promoting clean energy. (You’ll want to make sure to avoid any campus policy or city code violations.)
.
4) Set up a Facebook event page and get people to follow you on Twitter to help organize. Invite PACT to your Facebook event page and we’ll help promote it, too!
.
Last, but not least -
5) Fill out this short form and we’ll help you get PACT’s Beyond Coal underwear to wear the day of the event.
.
Then, run through your campus or city for a clean energy future and be sure to submit the video of your event to us at change@wearPACT.com for a chance to win a prize! (And show off your awesome event, of course.)

PACT and Sierra Club are ready to kick ash.

Today we launched our newest collection, Beyond Coal, which benefits the Sierra Club Student Coalition’s “Campuses Beyond Coal” initiative. Their goal? To transition our nation’s universities to clean, renewable energy solutions by way of collegiate protests.
.
The student protesters were looking for a way to attract a lot of attention for their cause and get their universities to listen to them…what better way to do that than by running around in their underwear? To commemorate our new partnership, PACT provided underwear for Sierra Club student “flesh mob” protests at universities including Miami University and North Texas. Students stripped down to their PACT underwear and raced across campus to show their support for transitioning to renewable energy.
.
Prompted by these student protests, this month Miami University of Ohio became the sixteenth university to start phasing out its dependency on coal as an energy source. These institutions are pledging to reduce dangerous pollution and ensure financial security by moving toward cleaner, renewable sources of energy. These same universities are also leading our nation in the research needed to further develop these new energy sources.
.
We share these students’ vision of a clean energy future, and are proud to join in the fight against coal dependency. The Beyond Coal collection consists of two prints and a cheerful, bright blue solid created by world-renowned designer Yves Behar of fuseproject. The prints represent the movement toward clear skies, a symbol of our vision for a clean energy future.
