Envirosax

Or Why Tiny Tapir no longer stocks Envirosax.

Tiny Tapir began distributing Envirosax in September 2007.

Suddenly, out of the blue in March 2009, we get a call from a Malaysian party who very rudely told us to "take down any reference to your being distributor for Envirosax as we are the new Malaysian distributor".

You can imagine our shock!  After all the energy that Tiny Tapir put into marketing the Envirosax and making the Envirosax brand known here in Malaysia - before we did so, no one here had heard of Envirosax.  Because of Tiny Tapir, Envirosax was featured in the Star newspaper 3 times last year, appeared on NTV7 and was even photographed with our First Lady.

And why did Mark (one of the Envirosax co-founders) go behind our back and sneakily sign with another Malaysian party (who we will not say are innocent, seeing as he clearly admitted he only started talking to Mark middle of last year after we'd been distributing the Envirosax for some time) for the Malaysian distributorship?

It's a mystery unknown to us - but we can only suspect that he did not like that we sell other brands of reusable bags.  Instead of discussing this with us of course, he pettily decides to just bypass Tiny Tapir completely.

Well, Mark. Wake up and sell the roses - we don't live in a world where Monopolists are viewed favorably, and I for one am not going to support a company whose owner has no clue what ethics, morality or common decency are about - it's completely contrary to living by Eco-friendly, green standards where sharing ideas and methods (and not just chasing the almightly dollar) is the only way to create a better world. 

Envirosax is obviously merely concerned about chasing profits and not about the ideals we at Tiny Tapir wish to support - fair trade, sustainable and responsible living.
