Be More Responsible In Selecting Your T-Shirts And More
It seems like people are always in a hurry today. The pace of their lifestyle oftentimes makes them want to wear something where they can feel at ease and comfortable while being able to carry the many tasks filling their day. This is the reason many people love wearing t-shirts.
T-shirts come in a lot of different designs. They come in different colors and combinations which definitely provide many options to the wearer. However, there is one aspect not usually seen by many of the t-shirt lovers out there. Not everyone knows that wearing t-shirts can have an environmental impact too.
Just like more and more of the items which are consumed every day, t-shirts can also be made from materials that can be recycled. The fact that it is recyclable makes it earth-friendly. One might ask, how can a t-shirt become earth friendly?
It all starts with organic cotton. In order to ensure such cotton is organic, there are manufacturers which have their cotton certified organic. There are only 3% of the farmlands all over the world that grow cotton. Unfortunately, the majority of those farmlands use pesticides and insecticides during the planting and the growing season. As a result, these toxic substances end up contributing to the pollution of air and water. Eventually some of these work their way into foods and other items. And then eventually to us people.
Another thing that makes t-shirt earth-friendly is the ink used to print on it. There are very few companies which are environmentally-responsible when it comes to selecting the ink they use in printing. Inks which are certified to be eco-friendly as well as those that are water-based are the main choices of these companies. In small amounts, these have very minimal impact in the environment.
Finding a nice t-shirt to wear is more than the design and the color that combine to make it look pleasant to the eye. It pays to be responsible in choosing the t-shirts you wear. Help save the environment today by making sure the materials used in the t-shirts you wear are all eco-friendly.
