Featured Friend Sponsor
TS Designs has been a part of the
NC GreenPower sponsor family for years, and now they are helping to
make a big difference in the local farming economy. They are aiming
to preserve environmental resources and restore part of the
crippled North Carolina textile industry in the process.
Regional
farmers and manufacturers have banded together to form Cotton of the Carolinas,
a collaboration aimed at promoting the use of locally grown cotton.
Sam Moore, along with friend and TS Designs President Eric Henry,
made the decision to manufacture T-shirts from cotton grown,
ginned, spun, knit, finished, cut, sewn, printed and dyed all
within the state's borders. Recently, Ronnie Burleson, Eric Michel
and Sam Moore of TS Designs were interviewed for a special CNN
feature on Cotton of the Carolinas.
