Our Story
We all have a bit of an 80's and 90's kid inside of us. Those were the days when you could ride your bike around the city for hours, stopping at 7-Eleven for a refreshing slushy, and then dropping by your friend's house on the way back. Saturday morning cartoons also held a special place in our hearts. They not only entertained us but also had meaningful messages. Do you remember Captain Planet? If you do, you probably remember the song that went along with it: "Captain Planet, he's our hero. He's going to take pollution down to zero." It's been over 30 years since this cartoon aired, but it still has a significant impact on us today. It was the first time we saw a superhero and an entire team of superheroes focused on one goal; protecting the planet.
​
Protecting the planet by reducing textile waste is our mission. That's why our new comic book series, Team Impact! ™ is designed to inspire the next generation to create a brighter and cleaner future. We understand the importance of making a positive impact on our environment, and we're here to support every child, family and school in America as they join us on this revolutionary journey towards a more sustainable tomorrow.
