we have a lot to say
T-shirt purveyors A Lot to Say—a company that already leads the industry in environmental sustainability, socially aware messaging, and general awesomeness (okay, that last one is just my opinion)—has gotten even greener as of late.
They already use 100 percent recycled plastic bottles (rPET) to make their shirts, which reduces energy consumption by 80 percent. Plus, they are a completely American-made line—no sweatshops or monster carbon footprint from shipping tees across the ocean. So how did they attain even greener credentials? As a continued commitment to sustainability, the company recently adopted AirDye® technology for all of their clothing. AirDye doesn’t use any water in the dyeing phase—a step that currently costs the world’s resources 2.4 trillion gallons of water a year.
Last week, the non-profit National Green Energy Council bestowed its first ever green apparel endorsement to A Lot to Say.
Congrats to a well-deserving company. Keep up the good work.
Hi this is cool. It is a trendy way to go green I should say. It could interest a lot of youth in getting involved in the green movement. Fashion and similar youth oriented stuff needs to propagate this message. Tomorrow’s generation as http://climatarians.org reveals needs to hear the message today. Green trendy fashion is one of the sure ways to do that.
Very inspiring!

Couldn’t agree more.
Not only do I love what A Lot To Say has to say… but I love the way they’re doing it. They’re taking eco-fashion to the next level by implementing PET (going beyond the organic cotton) as well as the amazing innovation that is AirDye. Can’t wait to see what these companies come up with next!
