I just got my latest shipment from MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op). This fantastic Canadian clothing company is blazing trails in both clothing lines and business practices.
A co-operative is a democratically owned business structure in which members pool their resources to obtain a benefit. At MEC, members use their shared purchasing power to obtain goods and services for outdoor activities. Anyone can join MEC by buying a $5 membership share. Your share allows you to make purchases and vote on how the Co-op is governed.
MEC is the largest retail co-operative in Canada and demonstrates what can be done through collective democratic ownership. Our commitment to green building, community grants, ethical purchasing, product sustainability, and promotion of Canada-wide parks and protected areas demonstrates the best of what business can be in our society.
If you're looking for organic cottons or ethically created outdoor/atheletic performance wear, this is a great place to go.
I got some stuff from MEC and agree! Their organic cotton shirts are so comfortable. I had absolutely no idea!
