Organic Climbing: Green = Long Lasting, High Quality Products - 2009-02-21 by Jason Clements
I always enjoy running into companies that have a wider view of what it means to be green. In the case of Josh Helke's Organic Climbing, green doesn't just mean reusing scraps of fabric (which they do) or powering their shop by wind energy (which they do) or promoting cell phone recycling (which they also do); but it means loving what you do and creating a product that will outlast the competition.
