U.S.-Made Tees For Trees, Jobs

A U.S.-based t-shirt maker launches a new summer collection of Made in America clothing to celebrate moving its production back to the United States. If only more apparel companies would see the light.

Tees For Change, which produces eco-friendly t-shirts made of bamboo and organic cotton bearing positive New Age messages such as "Live Joyfully" and "Practice Kindness," used to manufacture its apparel overseas in compliance with free trade practices overseen by the Fair Wear organization.

Then, Annmarie Peros took the company's helm and brought all manufacturing stateside, not only for ethical but practical reasons.

Observed Peros in a press release: "As a small business focused on inspiring change, promoting good, and giving back, it only makes sense that we manufacture our shirts in the United States. It is necessary we support the U.S. economy and contribute to U.S. job growth in any way we can."

The move also gives the company more control over its product line, carbon footprint and quality control. "Producing our tees in the US makes sense on so many levels," Peros added.

In addition, the company also plants a tree for every t-shirt sold through Trees for the Future. So, buy a t-shirt -- help the environment and support U.S. manufacturing.
