The Greenest Tees Around: Teecycle Sells Hand Selected “Gently Used” T-shirts
May 5, 2008 · Print This Article
T-shirts kick ass, green t-shirts kick even more ass. Teecycle.org is a cool new site that sells “gently used” one off t-shirts. It’s a super simple site set up on Blogger- each t-shirt gets a post with a photo, description, and link to buy it on PayPal. Most of the shirts run somewhere around ten bucks per with shipping- a great price about half the average cost of other cool tees online.
Here’s their schpiel-
Teecycle believes that your T-shirt says a lot about you, whether you know it or not.
When you buy off a rack in a department store, it says you have limited imagination, support giant corporate profits and have thousands of replicas. Who wants that?
When you own a Teecycle shirt, it says you have a unique one-of-a-kind item of clothing. It also says you care about the environment by keeping a perfectly usable item out of the landfill.
Each Teecycle shirt is hand-selected from rummage sales, thrift stores and, in a few cases, friend’s closets. Just not a rack in a nondescript department store.
Your purchase also supports the River Revitalization Foundation. $1 of each sale is donated to restore urban river trails and waterways in the Milwaukee area.
Head on over and pick up a new (old) shirt or three.

Oh yeah, one more thing. You have to type “www.” before teecycle.org to get there. Otherwise, you get a screen saying it’s under construction.
Thanks for the great work Tim, I just added in http://www. to all the links.
