How will you achieve sustainability in terms of handling denim that is green? will it be grown locally and woven locally? if not how can you create an entirely eco friendly product that can reach the world and showcase this product? in US, there is one particular farm consortum that grows/weaves green. (safedenim) however, they manufacture jeans in Guatamala. I am perplexed as to how they are going beyond their commitment to employ local cotton farmers and employing sustainable methods in factory outside of US.
