"My 26 Little Summer Must Haves" #15

O is for Organic Clothing...



Bono and his wife are doing it. Rashida Jones did it. Adrian Grenier is even wearing it. Now is the time to be Green, people! Even as I write this I know there are steps I can take to be better to our earth, but organic clothing is a very, very good way to start :)


The great thing about organic clothing is that harmful materials and dyes are completely eliminated, not to mention that there are a ton of eco-friendly organizations affiliated with organic clothing that benefit other worldly issues.


One example is a non-profit organization called Common Threadz (www.commonthreadz.org/index.html), which features t-shirt designs from artists all over the world, as well as designs created by orphans in Africa. The proceeds of each t-shirt go into buying school uniforms for underprivileged orphans. So not only is it a step in the right direction, it's a step toward helping those less fortunate in a time when they need it the most :)


Check out the artistry of this t-shirt created by a little boy named Thatdo; proceeds for this shirt go into feeding an orphan for an entire month!!!
