Sustainable Fashion: Project Recycling T-Shirts

After just mentioning the unsustainable fashions my daughter selected for back-to-school clothes, which she really needed but were definitely not eco-friendly, it is refreshing to feature a truly sustainable apparel item with a message.

Americans produce 500 billion pounds of trash each year 

Yikes, that’s a lot of trash!

Project Recycling is reducing the landfill of plastic waste through design.

Our eco-friendly t-shirts are made from 50% organic cotton and 50% recycled PET plastic, the same type of plastic water bottles are made from. In fact, each shirt contains approximately three 20oz water bottles inside!

Combining this with a recycling themed design is a match made in heaven. Each t-shirt uses a recycling fact, a disturbing truth about the overuse of our resources, as theme. For example, our first t-shirt is themed “500 Billion Pounds”, that’s the amount of waste we as Americans produce each year.

Of that, only 34.1% is recycled or composted. That rest, around 330 billion pounds is incinerated or landfilled. Our eco-friendly t-shirts are meant to be educational, yet contain a bold statement, but also casually designed so you can wear it on a normal basis.

We were sent a t-shirt, and it is very soft.  It has a classic fit, and it is sure to be a favorite!  The shirt is made in Nicaragua.

I look forward to seeing more t-shirts from Project Recycling in the future, perhaps some designs for women and children will follow!

disclosure: The products described above were sent to us as free samples. Prior assurances as to the nature of the reviews, whether positive or negative, were not given. No financial payments were accepted in exchange for the reviews. The reviews reflect our honest, authentic opinions.

    In the 20th year of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Child Aid is still one of the many contributors to making those rights come true. Child Aid is what it says: Aid to the child, to grow, learn and live in safe and healthy conditions. All parents wish to create such conditions for their children, but many do not manage on their own.

    Environmentally Friendly Information Network records that the payback phase for the Eco-friendly
    Revolution bikes is around three years that is not bad when compared to other
    energy saving purchases (typical payback of residential solar power is 8-10 years).
    However, how much power source are we talking about?
    They company reports that a normal collection bicycling course with about 20 bikes can produce up to 3.6
    Megawatts (3,600,000 Watts) of renewable energy a year. A group bicycle space that operates four
    courses every day has the potential to produce sufficient energy required to lamp a normal family home for six months, while also reducing charcoal pollutants by more than 5,000
    pounds. The energy produced by exercising is linked to the electric energy lines via the grid-tied reverser.
    The energy may be used again on the grid, which decreases attachment to fossil
    fuel and oil-generated power.

    Planet Aid is known as a non-profit which is “For the earth. For Persons.” The group manages with 2 purposes, to lessen person’s impact on our environment and assist people that require help
    the most.
    The nonprofit charity’s strategy is based on its famous yellow
    boxes, which are distributed across the United States. Donation cases are located in the New England and also mid-Atlantic regions, and North Carolina, Ohio and Kansas.

    Planet Aid helps to provide for vulnerable young people and poor groups with providing immediate aid along with enduring approaches
    to the difficulties they experience. While charity gives provisional assist to keep unhappy men and women health care
    and satisfaction, it also generates possibilities for the future by instructing lecturers and supporting in growth projects.

    In combination with raising the scholastic potential of disadvantaged villages, Planet Aid even wishes to foster environmentally friendly methods for food developing within these zones.
    The top objective of the system is to try to grow worldwide realization of the environment issues that
    relate to every one of human beings, and also concentrate attention on the individuals who require it the
    most. The charitable organizations also seeks to promote local
    and small business ventures to encourage job construction and self-sufficiency.

    Rather then throwing away clothes and shoes, owners should try to
    leave worn textiles into the big yellow donation bins in the local town or city.
    With placing them into the yellow bin, donators are delivering shoes
    and clothing to the people who can not afford to buy their own.
