Green Clothing Choices

See that rack of endless t-shirts for $3. Seems pretty harmless right?

But if something is too good to be true - it probably is.

-Think of the amount of pesticides used in the cotton.
-Who made the t-shirt - how much could they have been paid if the shirt is that inexpensive... what could their work conditions be like?
-Will life be better if you own that shirt? What are the unseen costs associated with buying it?

Organic t-shirts are a lot less expensive than they used to be.
Also, take a look at your local reuse store - they're often lots of cool fashions there, and for a lot less money.
