I intend to ask any stores I go to if they carry it and if not would they do so. Patagonia and other companies are starting to get involved in it too.
This seems like a worthy cause and worth a try to do what we can in our area to promote this clothing.
Their website is: http://www.sweatx.net/
Sorry but the ABC news pc wasn't on their website yet.
Cheers!
