Just like our food choices, green fashion is becoming very muddy, no its not ok to buy this shirt, and cheap overseas labor, namely china, that uses substandard material and inks, and has questionable labor practices, is not an option, when there are so many good screen printers and blank apparel companies right here. if you don’t dig american apparel organics, for lack of creative color choice, then try alternative apparel, now just called alternative they have organic cotton dyed with low impact dyes and an eco-heather line that is so super soft. Alas, they too utilize some overseas labor, but they also have a ton of manufacturing sites here in the usa. And with a little more creative leg work, a big cash client like live earth could have had their shirts be made in the states. Put your money where your mouth is! Business needs to get green,especially such a high focus event,fox news is slaying them! and rightly so. as always use your buying power for good.

you have to be kidding. this isn’t even close to green. the reactive dyes are horrible and I am sure since they are done off-shore, the waste is disposed of in the water system. add to this the miles on the airplane and the pollution added we aren’t even talking about “green”. this doesn’t even touch on the hand of the fabric on this anvil shirt, if feels like sandpaper and fits like a sack compared to american apparel. we wonder why this planet is doomed; people think it is ok to buy this product to save money. what the hell, plastic is cheaper than the other bags at the grocery store, so why ask for paper? I don’t even know why we recycle or try to buy organic if this is the mentality on this planted. I am dismayed.
