There are many reasons and benefits to wearing organic cotton clothing. Cotton uses about 25% of all insecticides and 10% of all pesticides used worldwide. The Environmental Protection Agency considers 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton as “possible,” “likely,” “probable,” or “known” human carcinogens. Not only is this extremely damaging to the environment and farm workers, when wearing traditional cotton clothing, it is placing these dangerous chemicals right next to the largest organ on our bodies, our skin.

Our Green apparel is made of certified 100% organic cotton. From planting and harvesting to dyeing and finishing, the process to manufacture the cotton used for these t-shirts follows organic standards. For more product information view the fact sheet from the vendor, AnvilOrganic

The correct answer to “paper or plastic” is always NEITHER! Keep one of our organic cotton canvas bags in your vehicle and use it the next time you go shopping. You will be helping to save paper and to keep those nasty plastic bags out of our landfills, not to mention these bags are attractive and much easier to carry.

Or try one of our super handy fist-sized ChicoBags. It pulls open from it’s integrated stuff pouch to a full grocery bag size. Throw it in your purse, briefcase, backpack, glove box or clip it onto your beltl loop using the included recycled aluminum carabiner. It’s convenient and you’ll be helping to preserve the environment, one bag at a time. The ChicoBag rePETe is 99% recycled content (it’s actually made from 7 plastic bottles!) And it can carry up to 25 pounds.
