There is a company “The North Face” who is collecting plastic bottles specially from national parks to keep them clean. The North Face is the latest big name to join the eco-fashion trend. Its new Bottle source line of t-shirts and tote bags is made from plastic water bottles. One dollar from the sale of each item will go to the National Park Foundation to support sustainability projects, such as bear-proof recycling bins and reusable water bottle filling stations. These shirts, as nice as they are, contain only 40 percent recycled polyester and 60 percent cotton. Cotton has a huge impact on the environment, using 20,000 litres of water per kilogram of cotton and 24 percent of the total pesticides used in agriculture. The North Face could push its environmental standards even further by incorporating organic, fair-trade cotton into these shirts, or using recycled cotton, or even making them entirely from recycled polyester — more bottles diverted (at least temporarily) from landfill!
