Water | innovation | Colorado Thanks to the Colorado Water Conservation Board, @galvanizehq and @denverbotanic for hosting a dynamic discussion on the entrepreneurship in the water space.
Water in the West. It's a complicated issue that touches communities, industries, food, and recreation. It's an important area demanding creative solutions and innovation. This Thursday we will join other #Colorado #innovators Water Sage, Clear Comfort, and Rachio to discuss the how/why of #water #innovation. Join us at Galvanize Platte Street at 5-7pm. And many thanks to the sponsors @galvanizehq & @denverbotanic!

We can do better. We will end this. #TERSUS is joining 11 other startups in the #FashionforGood accelerator in #Amsterdam. The goal: a transformed fashion industry. Thanks @fashionforgood for the opportunity to partner on sustainability challenges.
What an incredible launch of @fashionforgood yesterday. Traveling back to Denver feeling inspired by all the fellow entrepreneurs and brands leading the charge for #FashionForGood. Thanks @plugandplaytc for inviting TERSUS to pitch! Until next time Amsterdam - vaarwel!
All things CO2 in Amsterdam this week. Sipping a local brew before the #FashionForGood launch tomorrow. Beer gets its fizz from the same CO2 TERSUS uses to clean textiles. Putting resources to work, rather than letting them become waste.
Fashion for Good - a new startup ecosystem for sustainable fashion. We're honored to have been selected by Plug & Play, the C&A Foundation and The Boston Consulting Group to join the inaugural group of startups. Next week we'll join Circular Economy leaders to discuss ways to move beyond efficiency and sustainability to create an apparel industry that strives to be good.
#WorldWaterDay has us thinking about the power of water. It's power to give and sustain life, inspire adventure, and offer recreation. Too often we take it for granted. On this World Water Day, we want industry to reflect on the way it values water - intrinsically and financially. It's time to move beyond an efficiency mindset and revolutionize the way we use this precious resource. #beyondefficiency #water
Let's talk dirty for a minute...of course we mean let's talk about dirty laundry. Laundry can account for up to 64% of the energy consumption and 76% of the water consumption in the lifecycle of a poly cotton t-shirt. How are you doing laundry? Read more about our experience with dirty laundry and what we've learned in a new blog up on the website. Link in bio.
Is it possible to offset the cost of being a first-mover? We think so. Take a look at the breakdown of going water-free:
