041. Russ Hopcus of prAna - a podcast by Michael Franti

From the farm to the factory to our closets, we all have an opportunity to create positive change through clothing. Start asking questions about your clothes in the same way you ask about the food you eat, and you can help fundamentally change the way clothing is made. Since 2010, prAna has taken a grassroots approach to reduce plastic in their packaging. As the first apparel brand to sign on with Fair Trade USA, prAna is able to pay a premium directly to the workers on every manufactured good. prAna believes in adventure for all, creating a safe space where everyone can thrive in their own way; respect and responsibility, outfitting adventures with respect for the planet and its people; and progress not perfection, allowing their employees freedom to take risks, make mistakes and grow.
