 | | If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy an organic T-shirt instead of a nonorganic one, we'll avert the weight of 22 Biters in pesticides. |
|  |  | | The average cotton T-shirt is only 73% cotton. The rest? Chemicals and resins – byproducts of production. | | |

Fed up with searching for the ultimate tee? Take your shirt off; just replace it with one from Certaintees. Created by local artist Lee Tracy, these slim-fit, stylish tees for men and women are made from 70% bamboo (totally renewable) and 30% organic cotton, and feature clever pro-sustainability sayings or prints. We’re fans of the energy-themed series - which includes a Ben Franklin tee (see photo) and one with a light bulb labeled “relic” - and the local food series (which includes a cow on wheels). Plus, $5 of each online sale goes to nonprofs like Ashoka and Solar Cookers International. Next up: Lee’s hip new line made with eco-friendly dyes and shirts manufactured by solar power – you can put one of these shirts on when they’re ready later this month. |
