Should your favourite white t-shirts go green?

Don’t worry, your favourite white t-shirts will still be white. They will just be a more environmentally friendly white that will help the earth stay green. You can look great and take care of the environment at the same time. The government has been encouraging all of us to live greener lives and choosing the right T-Shirts to wear is a great place to start.

One of the things that you can do is buy t-shirts made from organic cotton. Organic cotton is grown without any harmful pesticides. Since the pesticides are not used on the cotton they do not harm the environment and they are not absorbed into the skin when the garment is worn. T-Shirts made from organic clothing are stylish and comfortable to wear and they can be found at very affordable prices.

If you choose to wear environmentally friendly clothing then you will be in good company. Many celebrities are wearing environmentally responsible clothing without sacrificing their personal sense of fashion.

Also, no matter what type of cotton your shirts are made of,you should pay attention to how you wash your T-Shirts. The government has advised that setting your washing machine to 30 degrees can save energy and carbon emissions. Washing in cold water can also make your shirts appear newer for longer. When possible, consider line drying your shirts. You will save energy by not running your dryer and your clothes will smell good.

If you take good care of your T-Shirts they will last longer and the longer that you use each piece of clothing, the less impact you have on the environment. So, consider that organic T-shirt that you have your eye on, care for it properly and feel proud that you are helping make the earth just a little bit greener.
