Why buy a Little Green Beings shirt?
*Well first, they are 100% certified organic cotton. Why organic cotton? Because organic cotton farming uses methods and materials that have a low impact on the earth. There are no synthetic fertilizers used and organic cotton is produced without harsh chemicals, bleaches, dyes, and is allergy free! Also, natural compost and soil amendments are used.
*Traditional (non-organic) cotton farming is the most pesticide-insecticide dependant crop in the world. According to the USDA, it accounts for 25% of all pesticide use. In one year and just in the US alone, over 50 million pounds of pesticides are used on our fields. Pesticides deplete the soil, pollute watersheds and can disrupt the balance of nature. Traditional cotton clothing can irritate and bother a childs tender skin because of all the chemicals used to produce it.
*The printing on our Little Green Beings shirts is done by wind power. We have our shirts printed by a wonderful company in Colorado. Wind power is special because wind energy is free and it is an awesome source of renewable energy. Wind power produces no greenhouse gases or waste and the land beneath can still be used for farming. Also our printing company uses low impact dyes and vegetable and soy based dyes when possible.
*Absolutely no sweatshop or child labor went in to manufacturing our shirts and the 100% organic cotton is 'Fair Trade'. This means that international standards are met to ensure fair wages, work benefits, and a positive working environment for all the hard working people who help grow and harvest the cotton.
*Our shirts are fun, incredibly soft, and machine washer friendly. They are so soft because the natural fibers in organic cotton are not broken down by harsh chemicals or bleaches, and because organic cotton is allergy free, anyone can wear a Little Green Beings shirt!
*You can run and play all day in your Little Green Beings shirt and when your child outgrows it, pass it along to a little brother, sister, or friend!
*Remember, when you buy a Little Green Beings shirt, you are showing your support for a cleaner and healthier Earth and a healthier, happier YOU. You will feel good wearing it!
