$25 shipped
This shirt is 100% natural. It is made from 70% bamboo, and 30% organic cotton. The ink and dye are made from a mix of iron and vegetable ingredients. $5 from each purchase goes to the Semperivens Fund for the protection of the Sequoia trees which are still under attack.
Bamboo and organic cotton do not use artificial pesticides or fertilizers.
The following are facts from the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory:
Cotton requires 1/3 pound fertilizer
per pound cotton
Bamboo is an excellent soil erosion
inhibitor
Bamboo requires no irrigation
o cotton requires 20 times more water
than bamboo
Bamboo produces 35% more oxygen
than an equal stand of trees
Bamboo spreads naturally and rarely
needs replanting
Bamboo grows rapidly-can be
harvested in 3-5 years. It is the
fastest growing plant on earth.
One acre of bamboo yields 10 times
more than cotton.
Bamboo is anti-static, anti-bacterial
Bamboo clothing is strong & durable
but soft and luxurious
Cotton farming uses 25% of all
chemical pesticides used on
American crops
Organic cotton uses biological
controls and planting patterns to
reduce pests
o composted manures and cover
crops replace synthetic fertilizers
o innovative weeding strategies are
used instead of herbicides
o beneficial insects and trap crops
control insect pests
o alternatives to toxic defoliants
prepare plants for harvest
