Organic Tshirts are a sustainable solution to the ecological problems inherent in conventional cotton production.

Conventionally grown cotton is very pesticide intensive, consuming up to 25% of the world’s pesticides while only taking up 3% of the earth’s farmland. The chemicals used are very toxic, rendering the farmland unusable after several harvests if they are not rotated with alternate crops on a regular basis.

According to HAE NOW:

“A year 2000 USDA study revealed that eighty-four million pounds of pesticides were sprayed on cotton in the U.S.A, ranking it second behind corn. Some of these toxic chemicals include the infamous defoliant Paraquat and insecticides like Parathion which is 60 times more toxic that DDT! In fact, the EPA considers 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton as “likely” or “known” human carcinogens.”

In addition to the environmental benefits of using organic cotton, there are quality implications too. The shirts we chose to use for 248creative.com clients are a very clean knit garment, they are comfortably tapered, and overall a very high quality product. We’re in love with them, they line our own closets.

I’m wearing one now.

The ShirtsForBands.com project is an internal development to target independent musicians and record labels as clients for custom screen printing and promotional products. There are many musicians among the ranks of 248creative’s specialist network, so we know the market intimately and consider it underserved by the custom decoration industry.

This project involved a multi-faceted approach, a combination of blog promotion, seo, and viral myspace marketing with a dynamic flash design lab to control the customer experience.
