MATTER

Tippy Tippens of Matter has launched the BirdProject to combat the environmental effects of the BP Gulf oil spill last year. The BirdProject is an idea where Tippy has developed soap in shape of bird and half the profits go to environmental foundations and non-profits in the area. Matter's mission which was founded by Tippens in November is to design products to further social causes and make enough money along the way to buy materials and pay rent.

The goal behind this ambitious product is too not only create a more sustainable environment, but to also make room for more product ideas in the future. Tippy Tippens came here in early September from Brooklyn, New York after seeing what harm the oil spill has done to the environment and wildlife in the area. The bird soaps which come in black right now are designed to signify the oil which covered the animals and after you have used the soap enough inside you will find a white ceramic bird to signify the cleanup efforts.
