Company policy and Environmental Concerns

What's up with Nomadic sTate of Mind Sandals?- thanks for asking.

Currenlty alot of our sandals are being made in a small out of work coffee farm in Nicaragua. We taught a small community how to make sandals in hope to produce a job for the community and create a flow of income, and have a lot of fun! Without a lot of fun-who wants a buiness? Chris' social work background desired to creat a small cottage industry in a LDC which a town could benefit from an art project. All of our artists are paid well, and our hopes is to grow the sandal business offering employment for more of the community. Although the cities are beginning to bustle in often forgot about Nicaragua, many jobs are difficult for people out in the country. Our sandal making process is time consuming, and after extensive training our sandal artists hand craft each sandal to perfection! WE have been successfully working out of Nicaragua for a few years now!

In regards to waste and environmental impact.
Sandal production produces some waste, in which we recycle alot of it into our rugs, which also produces work/income in the off season. These rugs can be found on our website, and they can be custom made for YOU!

It was my desire to create a product where there was virtually no waste- almost there - a bout 85% of our waste can be recycled into other products.

Our future goals and recyclability of used sandals. When our volume reaches and amount where it makes sense to re extrude the polypro we will develop a recycling program in which used sandals can be re-extruded and added with new material to make sandals again. Currently our volume is not suitable for a re-extrusion project-but if we get there that will be our next project.

If you ever have any ideas or suggestions, we are all ears. Love you people!

What's new with Nomadic state of Mind and the organic Tshirts?

WE use domestically grown and sewn certified organic cotton, where we can (currently tshirts), and will change the hoody's over when they are available in domestically grown and sewn cotton.
As a world, we now know a better way to farm (organic)
Organic farming eliminates the use of herbicides, toxic defoliants, and synthetic fertilizers.
Organic farming is non toxic way to farm; which in return helps protect our future generations and our planet.
This is sustainable farming.
Promoting a positive future outlook.
"BE the change you want to see"

The ultimate goal of “sustainable cotton” is to move sustainable production, manufacturing and use practices throughout
the cotton value chain in order to create a healthy and profitable industry for growers, their communities, manufacturers,
retailers and users of all cotton products.

The conventional cultivation of cotton leads to massive environmental and health problems. Around the world,
more toxic insecticides are used on cotton than on any other crop. A sustainable alternative is the certified
organic cultivation of the "white gold".
The farmers have only a chance to convert their production into a controlled organic cultivation of cotton if
there is sufficient demand for organic cotton. Although laborious in the beginning, the conversion is worthwhile.
WE want help be the sufficient demand for organic cotton.
