A green record label bringing you the "taste of fractured folk, infectious alt-country noir soaked in Americana," Portland's Stumptown Records [0] got bit by the good green bug a few years ago. Today, the eco label utilizes 100 percent post consumer recycled packaging for all its releases, prints liner notes in non toxic soy ink, runs its fleet of vehicles on biodiesel [0], and sells only sweatshop free, organic [0] free trade cotton merch. Two percent of profits from artists and bands are donated to environmental causes, so you can groove to this track from Kasey Anderson [1] (hailed by Punk Planet [2] as "one to watch in the alt country scene") with a clean conscience.
