With only a couple weeks left to enter their very cool Care to Air contest<\/a>, which encourages participants to come up with innovative alternative to using dryers, Levi’s announces the judges<\/a> for the contest, including UncommonGoods’ CEO Dave Bolotsky, and also delves into what inspired the challenge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From Cory Warren, Editor, LS&Co. Unzipped<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“While examining the lifecycle impact of a pair of Levi\u2019s\u00ae 501\u2019s, we were surprised to find that almost 60% of the climate impact happens in the laundry phase \u2013 after a consumer takes them home \u2013 and nearly 80% of that impact is due to the energy intensive method chosen for drying. All that hot air in your dryer takes a toll on the environment.”<\/p>\n

We’re really excited to be a part of this innovative contest. Be sure to check out all the great entries<\/a> and don’t forget to submit your own<\/a>! The deadline is July 31…and did I mention the prize? $10,000 in prize money from Levi’s – to be distributed among the finalists! Plus a chance to meet with some really cool judges:)<\/p>\n
