Summer is in the air… and cool, comfortable Organic Cotton is the perfect fabric for the season.

If your company or non-profit is in the market for Organic Cotton T-shirts, you'll be happy to know we've just added a few of our favorites to www.ecoswag.com. At the top of our list are these District Threads brand "Perfect Weight" Organic Cotton T-Shirts:

Style #SM-DT104ORG Shown Here

The very first thing that struck me when I first saw these shirts in person was how wonderfully soft the fabric feels against the skin. The 4.3oz weight fabric is lightweight without being too sheer and it drapes nicely for a flattering fit.

Made from 100% Certified Organic cotton, these shirts come in both Men's and Ladies Junior sizes. There's a nice palette of colors to choose from, in sizes ranging from X-Small up to 4XL.

To make them uniquely your own, Ecoswag.com also offers custom screen-printing on these shirts with water-based, PVC & Phthalate-free inks.

If you're looking into eco-friendly apparel…

For me, EWG’s Skin Deep database has always been a place to get a score. Then, depending where in the 1 to 10 hazard range my personal care product falls (come on, toothpaste, get a 1!), either rush off to buy it, avoid it like the plague, or keep searching. But there’s so. much. more. in Skin Deep.

If you, also, haven’t been any further than those hazard scores, take a closer look at the gobs of science-based guidance in there. EWG’s staff scientists and public health researchers have prepared some great tips - from the simple (no powder on babies!) to the more challenging (don’t use it at all). So wherever you are on the green spectrum, there’s a step to take that you can do right away. Take, for example, these 9 safer shopping tips:

1. Use our What Not To Buy list to avoid especially problematic ingredients — like mercury, lead, and placenta — and the products that contain them.
2. Use fewer products. Is there something you can cut from your daily routine, or a product…

“Always design something by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.”

The world is talking “global warming” and “going green”, and, whether we believe it or not, these changes can have adverse effects if we ignore the signals. Many of these things are beyond our control, but there are a few things that we can do about it. Let’s forget about pollution, erosion of the ozone layer and the green house effect, and focus on the little difference that each of us can make. After all, isn’t it true that little drops of water made up the mighty ocean?

This week’ s roundup is an eclectic mix of green news form the state of green marketing to IBM’s big splash into water management:

Financial Incentives Could Spur Green Roof Installations

“The Clean Energy Stimulus and Investment Assurance Act of 2009 (S.320) introduced by Sen. Maria E. Cantwell (D-Wash.) intends to create green-collar jobs and revitalize the economy through clean energy investments. But the bill also provides financial incentives for homeowners or commercial building owners which chose to install green roofs on their buildings.”

Think of financial incentive to install a vegetable garden on top of a roof.  Talk about stress reduction at work.
