Threads for Thought

While I was in TJ Maxx today buying my sister a birthday present, I saw a Tee shirt for $7 from a company called Threads For Thought... can you guess why this caught my attention?? (Ehem, look at the name of my blog).

When I looked at the tag on the garment, I also saw that it was made from sustainable organic cotton, and a portion of their proceeds go to charity. Also, there was a statement saying that organic cotton was 90% less toxic than regular cotton... so that sparked my interest.
As usual, I checked out their website. Here is some of what their website says:

"Our foundation is the belief that we should be responsible world citizens and positive contributors to a sustainable future. We create clothing from sustainable materials, build factories that respect their employees, sell clothing that is affordable, and pursue quality above all else.

Style can't be traded for sustainability, nor can sustainability be traded for style. At Threads for Thought we know that neither is exclusive, and work to lead the world in both."

Their clothes from their website can be a bit pricey, but at stores like TJ Maxx they are a lot cheaper. I picked up a nice organic cotton shirt for $7.99. You all know that I fully support companies who stand for better business practices, in this case, the use of sustainable materials.
