United By Blue and Its Vision for Clothing and Clean Waterways

November 15, 2012

In this season of Young Visionaries, we talk to entrepreneurs tackling social, cultural, and environmental goals by harnessing entrepreneurial principles and out-of-the-box thinking to create positive change.

Brian Linton is the founder of United By Blue, a Philadelphia-based organic apparel and accessories company. His vision provides for the removal of one pound of garbage from the nation’s waterways through the sale of each item on the site. Each cleanup involves thousands of volunteers and has resulted in the removal of many thousands of pounds of garbage.

See how the company is growing the business and maintaining its social vision.
