Government-approved Child Labor
My 9-year-old son’s list of daily tasks is pretty brief. Make your bed. Feed the dog. Do your homework. Pick up after yourself.
Simple stuff.

The Coolest Kid on the Block
When I was growing up in San Francisco’s Mission district, the coolest kid on the block was this guy named Jason. Everybody knew Jason, and when he did something, everybody else followed.

Traveling Denim
One of the best things about a pair of jeans is how, the more you wear them, the more they become a part of you – adjusting, fitting and fading based on your body and what you do when you wear them.

Lee's Levi's®
American Idol’s latest winner, Lee DeWyze, is expected to hit Billboard’s Hot 100 chart today. No matter where his cover of U2’s “Beautiful Day” lands, we can guess what he’ll be wearing when he hears the news: Levi’s® jeans.

Waste Not, Want Not.
When I was in Torreon, Mexico a couple of weeks ago, it was already approaching 100 degrees. A dry heat, but still …
Torreon is located in the high northern desert. And as you might expect in a desert, there’s not an abundance of water.

Water, Water Everywhere.
Given media coverage of Gulf of Mexico oil spill, it’s not surprising that many U.S. residents have missed news reports about severe flooding in Europe.
Residents of Poland and other countries have not. They’re living through it.

Cotton. And Climate Change.
Here’s a fact you probably didn’t know: 95 percent of our products are made of cotton. Not surprising, really, for the company that brings you Levi’s® jeans and Dockers® pants.
And that fact is one of the key reasons why we’re concerned about climate change.

Denim into Dollars. Literally.
We’re always looking for ways to lessen our impact on the environment. That’s my responsibility as head of sustainability for Levi Strauss & Co.
I recently traveled to Torreon, a city of about one million people located in the high northern desert in the Mexican state of Coahuila.

It was 137 years ago today when the awarding of a U.S. patent – number 139,121, if you’re into details – essentially led to the invention of blue jeans.
