It’s no surprise that PLAYBACK has become the new talked about apparel brand among celebs. PLAYBACK’s inspiring tees and hoodies can be seen on the backs of young Hollywood’s elite including: The Cast of Gossip Girl (Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Chase Crawford, and Penn Badgley), Dancing with the Star’s Cheryl Burke, and Entourage’s Adrian Grenier. You can see Adrian wearing our recycled men’s zip-up in sweat blue above!
However, celebs aren’t keeping PLAYBACK all to themselves these days. Major bands like U2, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Wilco, Xavier Rudd, and Bon Jovi have made PLAYBACK their “go-to” apparel brand for their fan merch. These bands have taken an eco-conscious approach to giving their fans exactly what they want: a high quality t-shirt or hoodie that oozes love and devotion to the planet.
If you’re planning on seeing any of the above bands on tour this year–make sure to pick up a tee or hoodie that supports your favorite sustainable apparel brand and band at the same time!

Scores of gadgets, foods and apparel that benefit a charitable organization when purchased, are now available. Here at PLAYBACK, we’re all for it.
Today I found cool news ways to give back by shopping. If you’re planning on making some purchases this weekend, here’s things to consider:
- Nordstrom stores will soon be partnering with 20 different lingerie brands to donate bra sale proceeds to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a leading organization in the fight against breast cancer.
- If you purchase a Samsung Home Theater from Best Buy, proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of America, Junior Achievement, or World Youth Alliance.
- Also, New York Yankees right fielder Nick Swisher just unveiled his “Swish-T,” which for $25 will benefit his children’s charity Swish’s Wishes. Visit NickSwisher.net to learn more about it or to purchase it.
Not looking to shop this weekend? Host a party instead. Last month, Macy’s introduced its “Coming Together” campaign, which encourages people to host parties and ask guests to donate to Feeding America instead of bringing the hostess a gift. Macy’s will match each donation until 10 million meals are provided to those less fortunate.

A couple of weeks ago PLAYBACK took part in the annual GREEN BROOKLYN…GREEN CITY 2009 fair at Brooklyn Borough Hall. Over 40 Exhibitors showcased products and offered information on everything from textile recycling (guess who? Yep. Us!) to green plumbing (yay dual-flush toilets!).
The fair was free and open to the public which proved to be exactly what change-seeking recession hit brooklynites needed. There were THOUSANDS of attendees!
PLAYBACK’s own Kim Doyle and Angela Lynch represented our brand and educated the public on PLAYBACK’s mission to save the world one t-shirt at a time. Thankfully Angela remembered a camera and was able to take a couple pictures throughout the day.
Here are a few photos from the day:

PLAYBACK is helping HeadCount put their money where their mouth is—on sustainability, anyway. Here they are at All Points West 2009, outfitted in 100% recycled PLAYBACK t-shirts. An amazing organization dedicated to voter registration and inspiring participation, HeadCount travels from festival to festival encouraging music fans to speak out on issues such as personal liberty, human rights, food and farm policy, and sustainability. A tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. You can learn more about their cause (or volunteer for a concert in your area  here.

 Three of Bonnaroo’s finest “trash talkers,” volunteers from Clean Vibes, an organization dedicated to responsible waste management at outdoor events, are looking good in PLAYBACK recycled t-shirts. They tell you what goes where, eliminating the inevitable paper, plastic, and compost confusion. Thanks’s for the picture guys…do you do parties?

So let me preface this post with a little introduction about the latest and greatest contest from PLAYBACK. Right now, as you read this, hundreds of thousands of millions of trillions of people are submitting pictures of themselves being green to danny@playbackclothing.com. Get your submissions in, people, the competition is fierce.
My question to you: are you green? Do you reduce, reuse and recycle in creative ways? If so, send in pictures or links to danny@playbackclothing.com and win a free recycled t-shirt!
Anyway…
Mike Lieberman is taking compost to a new level, literally and figuratively. Up in his apartment (reppin’ Brooklyn!), Mike takes garbage and turns it into potting soil for his garden. Mike is all about mixing organic gardening and sustainability, a wonderful combination if you ask me. I’m sure it smells a little funky, but we’re here to recycle, not to smell pretty. A little creativity, a little intuition and a whole lot of passion, Mike definitely keeps his lifestyle healthy and eco-friendly – awesome.
The picture above is Mike starting his compost project, that’s why the bin looks a little sparse. But check out his blog here to check out the full story and follow Mike on his journey to sustainable and organic living. For now, admire the compost in it’s fullness:
My favorite line on his blog is: “It’s been two days since I attempted to get rid of the smell of the indoor compost pile.” I guess that’s what you get when you play around with compost, indoors!
Keep sending in submissions, you can win a free t-shirt! Honestly, who doesn’t like free clothing?

FRIENDS OF PLAYBACK. This is David. He’s a self-proclaimed ‘lazy filmmaker’ and a practicing harpist since the 8th grade. What does he do for the environment you ask? Well, apparently he is the only one in his dormitory to shower with the lights off. Clever my friend, clever…just don’t drop the soap. (Interesting side note. I noticed in the ‘signature’ section of our photo talent release, he wrote “Yo’ Mama.”
BE IN OUR BLOG: PLAYBACK FANS, SUBMIT YOUR PICS. Send us photo submissions (of you wearing PLAYBACK, or at least something, please) and tell us what you do to help the environment, big or small, and be in our blog. Send to info@playbackclothing.com. Void where prohibited.
