howies - Organic clothing
Salomon had a new board for last year called the Sick Stick, which won the ISPO award for eco design in the board sports category. The SickStick features Salomon’s new patented bamboo sandwich construction process, driven by the goal to improve the performance of Salomon products, while significantly reducing the ecol...ogical cost of snowboard production.
An international jury, consisting of design and ecological experts, chose the Sick Stick out of several well-respected nominees, including Arbor’s Wasteland, two surf products and a Brazilian skateboard. Over 300 products were submitted for consideration in 7 different categories.
"In each board, 400 grams of bamboo replace 300 grams of plastic, 100 grams of resin and 200 grams of fibreglass. The Sick Stick comes in a cotton-bamboo knit bag instead of a PVC sleeve, while the hangtags are printed on recycled paper instead of coated stickers."
They are a snow sports brand who have a commitment to the environment…which is the way things are moving for a lot of brands. It’s important that winter sports enthusiasts are aware that these technologies exist, and can have more of a conscience about their impacts as consumers.
Andy Cain from Salomon Snowboards will be coming in to the store to talk about their brand’s eco developments and technologies in the production of snowboards. Anyone who enjoys winter sports should consider the impacts you have on the mountains you love.
If you would like a free ticket to this event, please email (carnabyst@howies.co.uk) or call us (0207 287 2345) to reserve a space.
As always we have free organic beers and juice available. Doors open at 7.15pm. Spaces are limited so get in touch quickly.
Hopefully see you there :)

With a chill in the air sweeping over London, we thought it an appropriate time to focus on an issue that winter sports enthusiasts should have a great interest in.
Our next Wee Do at the Carnaby Street store is next Tuesday, 17th November; and we have Betony Garner coming in to talk about the Ski Club of Great Britain ...campaign Respect the Mountain.
She is passionate about green issues and has been trying to raise awareness about how to minimise the impact of snowsports on the environment for the last four years.
Respect the Mountain was a campaign launched by the Ski Club of Great Britain in 2004 with the aim of safeguarding the mountains for future generations to enjoy. Its basis is raising awareness and educating skiers, snowboarders, resorts and the whole snowsports industry on how they can do their bit to minimise their impact on the environment. The talk will investigate how the mountains have changed, how humans have impacted them and what we can do as skiers and snowboarders to help.
For more information about the campaign go to: www.respectthemountain.com
If you would like a free ticket to this event, please email (carnabyst@howies.co.uk) or call us (0207 287 2345) to reserve a space.
