At 8bottles.com, we offer shirts made only from 100% Post-Consumer drink bottles, with NO added dyes. This means there aren't any chemicals or wastewater put back into the environment as a result of the dye process. Our shirts' honeydew color comes from the green bottles we use to make them. 8 bottles saved = 1 shirt made. TM Kudos to Jason Mraz for embracing eco fashion!

Dry cleaning can be accomplished without the use of perc, the industry just has to want to change. I have been in the dry cleaning industry for 25 years and we have invested in CO2 dry cleaning technology which is designed and made right here in the USA. CO2 dry cleaning cleans better than perc dry cleaning and is good for both you and the environment. I'll never switch back. If you get your clothes back from a dry cleaner and they smell, that's a problem because you are smelling either perc or petroleum solvents.
