Mission Playground is an environmentally conscious clothing company with a purpose. Our objective is to create sustainable apparel that raises awareness about the environment. This fundamental principle guides every aspect of our operations, from design through to distribution. Through progressive design, globally mindful art and production practices, we are constantly mindful of the impact we have and want to share that with you. This means using sustainable materials whenever and wherever possible.

In 2003, the company began out of Mark McMahon’s garage in San Diego as a graphics-driven line of t-shirts carrying positive messages that inspired thought and awareness. Since then, he has built a team of conscious-minded individuals who inspire environmental awareness and preservation. As a young, progressive brand, Mission Playground strives to bring excitement to the market and with that comes challenges.

From the start McMahon took a different approach, using art and apparel as the messenger and lead a revolution that many have followed. One thing that remains constant is our story and since the beginning we have done so with the following: the name, Mission Playground, defines the company and when shared resonates clearly. By using sustainable fibers and certified manufacturers, Mission Playground maintains its integrity and values. Our products have been message driven in order to educate, raise awareness and inspire change. Further, in an effort to press, Mission Playground created the S.E.E.D. program, which is designed to give back to those who are truly rising up and protecting our playground.

Mission Playground has been and will continue to be innovative in its approach. Of course it is a brand, but what we are branding is awareness for the environment… a message that is different and needs to be shared differently; a message that has a voice and that voice needs to be heard and shared collectively; a message that is bigger than apparel and invites retailers and consumers to stand up for what they believe in. All this is a moot point if our products are not there to back it up. Now with this spring ’09 line, sound infrastructure and a new team, Mission Playground stands stronger than ever.

We are not about pushing cotton, we are about pushing to create change and make a different. Join our mission to reach out, take action, and use the opportunity to vocalize what we all know is important. It is our chance to be heard and to do our part to save the playground.
