Embody positive thinking in the hottest eco-friendly T’s at Tees For Change. These soft, organic T’s, offered in both long and short sleeve options, will make you ‘look like you feel’ all while embracing earth friendly fashions.

All of their tees are fair trade and made under sweatshop-free conditions from 100% organic cotton or 70% bamboo/30% organic cotton. The cotton is cultivated without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, which is good for the environment and for the workers who grow and manufacture the shirts. Naturally sustainable bamboo is fast-growing and, because of its natural antibacterial properties, it needs no pesticides and is 100% biodegradeable.

The organic cotton apparel is dyed using low impact dyes and low impact dyeing methods. The dyes do not contain heavy metals or other known toxic substances, nor are they petro-chemically based. Low impact dyeing methods use less water when dyeing and rinsing the fabric. They also use bio-degradable fabric softeners and natural enzymes for finishing in their unique garment washing process.

“Blooming Perfection” Organic T-Shirt

Available at Hatley

Hatley, the company that “gets clothes to nature,” has extended a “pun” way for consumers to become involved in the company’s environmental practices with its first ever t-shirt caption contest to benefit the Hatley Global Water Initiative.

In a call for entries, Hatley has asked consumers to “get your pun on” with a contest that will see the winning caption illustrated by Hatley’s design team and made into a t-shirt, from which 100% of the sales profit will be distributed as a part of the Hatley Global Water Initiative.  The winning t-shirt will be released in time for the United Nations World Water Day 2008 (March 22), an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development.

“We continuously adopt environmental practices to ensure we are producing our clothing and gift items in the most environmentally conscious manner possible, using materials that are known to be safe,” said Chris Oldland, president, Hatley.  “The t-shirt contest is a great way to involve our customers as well as let them know what we are doing as a company to protect the environment.”

The deadline for caption submissions is September 30, 2007 at midnight Eastern Standard Time.  All submissions must be made through www.hatleynature.com.

In addition to having a wearable recognition of their achievement, the first place winner also will receive a $500 Hatley gift certificate.  Second and third place winners each will receive a Hatley gift certificate, $300 and $100 respectively.
