Best Enviromental Statement Ever: Sailor Jerry

Best Enviromental Statement Ever: Sailor Jerry

By Guy Brighton on May 21, 2007

Kudos to Marc Alt who forwarded us the link to this page on the site of Sailor Jerry rum (‘scuse the language):

Sailor Jerry. Why treehuggers should kiss our ass.

1. We make 95% of our stuff in the U.S. — so we’re not causing boatloads of transcontinental global warming emissions like companies that make cheap shit in China.

2. We make quality shit in classic styles that will look good your whole life if your kids don’t steal if first -not the kind of trendy shit you throw away in a year.

3. One reason shitty third world factories make stuff so cheap is slackass environmental rules. Our U.S. plants we follow American standards to keep them from fucking up the air and water.

4. Every goddamn one of our employees bikes or walks to work. If EVERYONE did this, we’d kick global warming’s ass from here to shanghai.

5. Our store, office and owarehousing in 150 year-old re-habbed buildings -�not some cookie cutter suburban office park where farmland used to be.

6. And our rum? It’s 92 proof, which means you need buy less (and we need to ship less of it) of it to get the job done. Our bottles are simple on purpose – to make recycling easy.
