On college campuses, t-shirts tend to make up the majority of students’ wardrobes. After a late night of studying or avoiding studying, t-shirts and jeans are the easiest choices to throw on for class. With campus organizations and Greek-life creating a new t-shirt design for every event imaginable, there are no shortages of these cotton comforts. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way to stop wasting old t-shirts and to have options to buy organic and recycled cotton t-shirts?

Well Graphic Cow has made our decision to go green that much easier. While making designing online and shipping around the country easy, they also provide t-shirt options from Anvil, a leading apparel brand, who was recently ranked the 6^th largest organic program in the world by the Organic Exchange. While they use everything from organic cotton to recycled PET bottles, through graphic cow you have the choice of 100% organic cotton t-shirts and recycled cotton shirts as well.

Graphic cow offers t-shirts from American Apparel, which is not strictly advertised as a green company, a little background on the brand can help your mind rest at ease when purchasing these well-made and unusually soft shirts. American Apparel recycles old t-shirts to make yarn for new ones, uses non-toxic dyes, prints catalogues on 100% post consumer recycled paper, and even uses energy efficient lighting in their factories.

So when that fraternity formal or Relay for Life t-shirt needs to be made, consider the companies that can help you create a shirt that will help the environment.
