The sisters did a lot of research and learned a true and startling fact: it takes an average of 15-25 gallons of water to traditionally dye just one t-shirt. They found a way to make their tees out of recycled bottles and waterless textile dyeing. Genius! Plus, every time you buy an item from A Lot To Say, a generous percentage of every sale goes back to support their favorite charities and causes.
I love it! Wow, that's a lot of water...
ReplyDeletei did a whole lesson plan on water - the kids LOVED it! ..

I had no clue it took that much water to make a graphic t! Wow. They seem like two remarkable women with awesome design skills. Inspirational on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring story and so crazy to know that about graphic tees - thanks for sharing this (as always!)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool... I love this. I love people who are creative and innovative. Very neat! It's been a while since I've stopped by your blog... love all your new features!

ReplyDeletethanks so much for sharing...what a fantastic business. i love it! i am going to have to order something!

ReplyDeleteMan, we waste so much water. I try to get my friends to do just one thing: switch from purchasing plastic bottle after plastic bottle of water, which wastes not only water but also the oil used to make the plastics, and buy a reusable thermos and fill it up with filtered tap.
ReplyDeleteOh, and to turn off the faucet while brushing their teeth. :)
Iva this might be my most fave one yet. I love that purr one best - it has totally been true in my life when i was soooo sick about 5 years ago my cats helped me infinitely. and i have a dress made out of recycled plastic bottles...i think i'd love any of these on a t!
