Baggy Shirts
Jan Ramos, Founder/Co-Owner & Dana Miller, Co-Owner
Jan and Dana are business partners and next-door neighbors who were inspired to launch BaggyShirts after each of them had become extremely concerned about the serious state of the Earth. They reached their respective tipping points by watching Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth. Laurie David, co-producer of the film, had recently visited Denver and was interviewed by our Mayor John Hickenlooper on the topic of global warming. She suggested that each of us pick one thing – One Thing that people could do to help reverse the effects of climate change. Due to the harmful use of paper and plastic bags, their One Thing became BaggyShirts - Reusable Bags Made From Recycled Clothing for a Healthier Planet.
