In my quest to discover more environmentally friendly suppliers, I have come across Moral Fibre.

They supply 100% organic, ethically grown & sewn garments including t-shirts, aprons and carry bags.

What is beautiful about this company is that practice what they preach. Billie Paris (business partner of Moral Fibre) is down-to-earth and honestly cares about making a difference in the world.

I love that they contribute 10% of profits to female leaders who are striving for gender equality.

I love that have real cred; they have the legal proof that all of their garments are made in agreement with the Fair Trade Standards.

And finally, I love them because they are BEAUTIFUL – inside and out; in their actions, in their personalities, in their character and most importantly, in life!

I am proud to say that Zulu Graphics will partner with Moral Fibre as one of our suppliers. We are able to print and embroider all of their products.

These products are more expensive than those from Johhny Bobbin or Ramo, but surely it is worth it.

Why not let your business be defined by the decisions it makes, as well as the product and the service?

Why not let your band make a statement about what you believe in?

Please, browse through their shop but, if you are looking to get decorated products, please email me for a price; if you buy through us, we can offer a discounted product and decoration rate.

Why not start an ethical movement with your next screen printed shirt?

I would like to commend October, a UK garment print and embroidery one stop shop, not unlike ourselves. They frequently update their blog – http://octoberonline.wordpress.com/
– with a variety of interesting and relevant topics for the decoration consumer. Understandable, their target market is Brits, but their information has world-wide appeal.

Some articles of particular interest for any Greenie (which, these days, is becoming a fashion statement as well as a way of life)

How Green Is My Ink

A-Z of Ethical Terms

Next, I’d like to examine a few articles which demonstrate an extent of truth about the nature of screen printing

Chopper Eco Couture … and Screen Printing
In this lengthy article, Michael explores screen printing as a process and how it has been made “more eco-friendly” by Chopper Couture.
Printing Process Descriptions
In this straightforward, technical and slightly boring website, the exact process of screen printing is described with little embellishments. NB: May be a little hard to understand if you are unfamiliar with the terminology.

It appears there isn’t much on environmental screen printing in Australia, although I am going to continue looking around. If need be, perhaps sites will be created to fill this need.
