Mod Green Pod

Posted October 5th, 2007 by cherylfrushon

Our products are cleaner for the earth, your home and your body.

At Mod Green Pod, we are dedicated to offering products that are environmentally-friendly and home-healthy, so we have chosen 100% organic cotton for our fabrics and a clean, vinyl-free finish for our wallpapers.

We believe in supporting organic cotton agriculture and manufacturing. Grown without toxic chemicals or pesticides, organic cotton is healthier for the earth’s soil and water, animals, farmers, manufacturers, and finally, YOU. Conventional cotton production uses 25% of the world's insecticides and 10% of the world's pesticides (including herbicides and defoliants), despite using only 3% of the world's cropland.

Our 100% organic cotton fabrics are produced without using any harmful finishing agents and our water-based printing process also respects this simplicity and purity. Mod Green Pod’s wallpapers are also printed with water-based inks and unlike most wallpapers, ours are finished without a coating of toxic vinyl. Taking organic from
hippie to hip.

Mod Green Pod sprouted from a simple quest. Co-founders and sisters-in-law Nancy Mims and Lisa Mims loved swank design and sustainable goods, but they couldn’t find anything that combined the two. Refusing to choose one over the other, they started their own company.

Both veterans of the fashion industry, Nancy helms Mod Green Pod’s design, and Lisa handles the business. With offices in Austin and Boston, they create products that won’t harm the planet, its manufacturers, or users, all without sacrificing style.
