Introducing Pro'tech'd: Launch Party in NYC tonight!
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 12. 7.05

Pro'tech'd (say "protected") is a new company that's happy to be launching its first product tonight, and you're invited! Supporting their mission to create and distribute well-designed sustainable consumer products and create economic opportunities for women in developing countries, "Cozy" is designed to snuggle right up to your iPod and keep it safe from scratches, bumps and bruises. If you've got an iPod, they've got one to fit it, from Shuffle to Photo iPod, and each one in between (this is the second such groovy iPod holder we've seen recently). No need to undress, unless you want to; Cozy allows easy access to all features.
For any NYC TreeHuggers looking for something to do tonight, consider heading on over to Mannahatta at 9 pm for drink specials, live music from Damn Good Noise and the chance to walk away with an iPod Shuffle dressed in a Cozy. It's also your first chance to get one; they'll be on sale for 15 percent off. For anyone that can't make it tonight, Cozy will be available at the website soon. ::Pro'tech'd





















Mercado Global has also just developed 100,000 cell phone covers for Nokia. I think this is unequivocally a progressive direction for fair trade.
