Co-op America
Co-op America is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to
harnessing the economic power of consumers, investors and businesses
to promote social justice and environmental sustainability.
Purrfectplay is proud to display the Co-op America Seal of
Approval. We have successfully completed Co-op America's screening
process and have been approved to be listed as a socially and
environmentally responsible -or green-businesses in their
National Green Pages(tm)
directory.
Co-op America's Screening Team is appointed by and
reports to Co-op America's board of directors. They
investigate each applying company to determine: 1) its
familiarity with and commitment to social and
environmental responsibility, and 2) significant action
in terms of this commitment.
Companies must demonstrate that they:
- Focus on using business as a tool for positive social change.
- Are "values-driven," as well as profit-driven.
- Are socially and environmentally responsible in the way they source,
manufacture, and market their products and run their offices and
factories.
- Are committed to and employ extraordinary and innovative
practices that benefit: 1) workers, 2) communities, 3)
customers, and 4) the environment.
Purrfectplay has been committed to earth friendly values since its inception.
We act on this commitment in the following ways:
- We pay our workers fair wages while supporting their creativity and
encouraging innovative action. We believe this fair treatment creates
a more loving and grace-filled product.
- We craft our products from certified organic natural fibers and
catnip. We believe these are the best materials for your pets and for
the earth.
- We reuse and repurpose to the fullest extent and recycle when that
process is completed. We believe our resources are a gift to be used
wisely and fully.
- We partner with our local thrift shop to reclaim damaged wool
sweaters, silk ties, and other reusable materials. We believe that
trash is in the eye of the beholder.
- We use only fair trade silver charms and beads in our pet jewelry. We
believe that beautiful things can be made without causing pain or
harm.
- We use recycled content in our office supplies. We believe this is an
easy important action.
- We use recycled and repurposed shipping materials. We believe this is
good economics for us and the earth.
- We give 5% of each and every sale to local and national no-kill and
rescue organizations. We believe we have a huge karmic debt to the pet
world, on both a personal and business level.
- We strive to educate our customers about the importance of protecting
our earth, our pets, and our families thru environmentally friendly
actions. We believe the love of a pet is a very important way to open
our hearts to the full aliveness of the Earth.
