Why was PoD started?

:"In today’s business environment there is a sea of black and grey textiles and products. Many products such as laptop bags, folios, iPad covers, business card holders are often mass produced and made in large manufacturing facilities with operating procedures that are focused on maximum productivity not on the environment nor developing communities. I want to change this and offer ethical business accessories, and I believe many other people value the same things I do and would love to have a more ethical option available."    - Melissa
