Buddha Bear Wear - Social Consciousness Clothing Line

A friend of mine just sent me an email with a web site that belongs to one of her friends. They have started a new unique clothing line called "Buddha Bear Wear," with a portion of their profits that will go to the stewardship of the Earth, its inhabitants, big and small, and the children who one day will inherit it all. I very much like the concept, and they have new ideas they are working on for expansion of their line of clothing - including Yoga wear. You may want to check them out if you are looking for some new T-shirts.

All I can say is GO BUDDHA BEAR.......my energy sessions usually include some form of a bear showing up.....sometimes Yogi or Smokey........now I may just have to wear the Buddha logo! I CAN HANDLE THAT!

(Here is the email from the owner (Vin) ..........it has all the scoop...)

I have created a new t-shirt and apparel line called Buddha Bear Wear. But it is actually much more than just an apparel line. It is an experiment in social consciousness and responsibility. It is an opportunity to see if a company can be profitable and successful while focusing, not only on profits, but just as important, on making a positive impact on the community, the environment and the world - as well as being as sustainable and Earth friendly as possible. It also may mean a profit for you. What do I mean? Well, read on…

First, in regard to our business and products, it means quality and no sweatshops. All our shirts are high quality and made in the USA. Very simply, if we won’t wear it, we won’t sell it.

Second, Buddha Bear Wear will give 10% of its profits charitable organizations. Our motto is, “A portion of our profits goes to the stewardship of the Earth, its inhabitants, big and small, and the children who one day will inherit it all.”

Third, we are on a never ending quest to make our products as Earth Friendly and in as sustainable a way as possible. Our hope is as we grow bigger and bigger our footprint will be smaller and smaller.

So how can you get involved?

First, you can go to our website and check out our selection. Let me know what you think. So far the response to our apparel has been overwhelmingly positive and exciting. And as an incentive to try one of our quality products, from now until the end of February, we have a grand opening discount on everything! So go to www.buddhabearwear.com and choose your favorite.

Second, we are currently looking for good organizations and charities to which we can give our contributions. So let us know if you have a favorite organization or charity for us to check out and maybe add to our list. Our only qualifications are that it must be a legitimate non-profit organization. It must have a record of helping the environment, wildlife or under-privileged children. And the more the money goes to helping and not to administration the better.

Third, if you have a retail establishment and would be interested in stocking Buddha Bear Wear, let me know. I would love to talk to you about the possibilities. Also if you have a website and would like to link to Buddha Bear that would be fantastic too. We are working on developing the technology to have an affiliate program but we do not have it as of this moment.

Finally, if you know anyone who owns or purchases for a retail establishment, you can be a Buddha Bear Ambassador and make a profit at the same time! Simply have them email me at vin@buddhabearwear.com or give me their contact information and I will contact them. If they decide to stock Buddha Bear, you will get 10% of anything they purchase for one year! That’s right 10% for an entire year! The average commission for professionals in this kind of opportunity is only 6%. And all you have to do is refer me to them or them to me. No hard selling or anything like that. Very simply, if I get the referral from you, you get the 10%.

So spread the word. The Buddha Bear has arrived!!!

Thank you,

Vin
