| Partner Profile Yala, home of DreamSacks, provides nurturing and comfy bedding and clothing from natural fibers. The company began by using silk and has expanded to include cashmere, organic cotton, and bamboo. As a way to further Yala's committment to sustainable products and practices, the company decided that its work environment should also reflect that commitment. To help achieve this goal, Yala purchases wind- and solar-generated renewable energy certificates. In 2008, DreamSacks now Yala, purchased an all-electric truck to further cut down its carbon footprint. "Through our participation in the Green Power Partnership, we have opened a dialogue with other organizations that promote green businesses. It is also a step that has brought our business practice closer in line with our values," says Nancy Morgan, President. | |
