It's good to see that you're offering this choice. That being said, organic cotton is not the most environmentally friendly fabric. By far. Cotton is one of the most water intensive crops in the world. Not only does it require lots of pesticides and fertilizers, chemical or natural, it also uses lots of energy to grow and to be turned into fabric. I'd be more stoked on hemp or bamboo t-shirts. They're like the electric cars to organic cotton's hybrid cars. Bamboo and hemp are 7 times stronger than cotton (organic or not), use 8 times less water and require absolutely no pesticides or fertilizers. Glad to hear you're taking a step in the right direction. I hope you follow it up with even more consideration for the best options available.
