History of Business:
PK is a pioneer in the development of green curriculum, articles about green and progressive living and thinking, and green products. When we started this business four years ago largely with message-based T-shirts and onesies, we pledged to sell only organic cotton T-shirts. Since then we've steadily strengthened our green offerings, expanding into the green publishing arena with our book A Hot Planet Needs Cool Kids (http://www.progressivekid.com/shop/hotplanet.aspx) by Julie Hall. Most recently, we launched ProgressiveKid Reader and Kids' Rock.
