Do you know about NAU?

Nau is the hip, visionary, sustainable clothing line developed by a company that actually considers it’s impact on people and planet. (We know – what a concept.) We love them and we know you will, too. (What’s not to love about organic cotton, recycled poly, recycled wool and other eco fabrics? And love aside, you’ll even respect their commitment to clueing consumers in on every detail of the lifeline of their products.)

What has this got to do with Halloween? Nothing, except that Green Halloween’s founder is one of their biggest fans.
