Washington D.C. The three-day event was heralded as the beginning of a new business paradigm with corporate giants such as McDonalds, Dow Chemical, Xerox, and Dupont participating in seminars targeted toward a sustainable future. Although Scott admired the goals of the meeting, he was troubled by the slow timeline proposed for change. Talk is great but action takes a long time.

The upshot of this chance meeting was the addition of an Eco-mat hang tag offering a free first cleaning to purchasers of all Indigenous Designs clothing.
