am i blogger? a green one perhaps

this is my first post.
i once had a blog about 5 years ago, back during the first blog craze, but only wrote on it once. that is all. so i cannot promise i will have an obscene amount of input, but i will do my best for the sake of designAWEAR! hoorah!
i discovered something today, among many things. i am currently designing a line of womens technical apparel and let me tell you, it is difficult finding fabrics that do not destroy the world. but i came across an article about a company in japan called teijin and they recently developed an environmentally friendly waterproof and breathable fabric! the first of its kind! it's called athtoma. of course they are in japan, so i won't be able to access it, but still it's in the right direction. teijin has worked closely with patagonia, the leader in wicked awesome outerwear in making their garment recycling possible and other things like that. so it's sweet!

here is the like for the teijin article (if i can make it work) should anyone be interested. it is exciting.. so be interested.
(i will warn you, the site is quite dull, but get passed it and read the words)

thanks all
jeno
