The good thing about speaking publicly about “going green” is that you get people to help you think and challenge you. Today, I found a comment by one of our German Qype users about the T-Shirts we are using. Bang on.

The only item we currently ship in large quantities are t-shirts. Hence this is an issue for us.

Actually, we are working on this. We recently did some research regarding the German “Ökotex” certificate. We found out that this will only tell you about the contamination of garments, not about pollution during production.

We now have found a source via our user where to get sensible ones. Albeit the cost seems to be factor three. We will come up with a solution.
