Welcome to the rain skirt community!
Mon, 10/08/2007 - 21:44 — LibbyRain skirt wearers are not every day people. They are the folks who realize that life goes on, in spite of (and sometimes because of) the weather. They're the people who won't let a little drizzle ruin a perfect day. They play, they walk, they hike and bike--contented, dry, and fabulously fashionable.

"Green" Clothing Care: Project Laundry List
Sun, 09/28/2008 - 15:08 — LibbyEmergent Designs is happy to announce that 1% of our sales revenues will be donated to Project Laundry List. This group of dedicated citizens advocates for our right to dry clothing outside using nature’s free, safe, and effective nuclear power plant: the sun. Line drying not only preserves the life of clothing, it reduces the demand for domestic energy production which in turn decreases our demands on the natural world.
Shipping Materials: The Choice Matters
Sun, 03/02/2008 - 23:15 — LibbyEmergent Designs strives to make products which are as green as possible. However, shipping could easily void any gains made if done without an eye toward sustainability.
After much thought and research, we decided we will ship our products in Tyvek envelopes. The envelopes are made of a recycled material, are recyclable, and are tear and water resistant. After considering virgin and recycled cardboard, we finally realized that volume matters as much as material.
What?! How could shipping something in a plastic envelope be more ecologically sound than shipping it in a tree-based package? It seems counter-intuitive.
