Image via Good-TeeOn 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 6th 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.
