PORTLAND, Oregon It s KGW Sustainability Week, looking at ways we can all be a little greener and help the environment for Earth Day on Thursday.
Earth Day Oregon pairs up hundreds of local businesses to give a portion of their sales to sustainably minded nonprofits. They started doing this in 2019, and even through the pandemic, it s grown like crazy every Earth Week, raising a total of $160,000.
One of those businesses that s taking part is called Thunderpants USA. We re Portland s most comfortable underwear brand, said Celestial Sipes of Portland, owner of Thunderpants USA. We have a wedgie-proof underwear that are made with organic fair trade cotton.
