A little bit about our friendly fabrics
Organic Cotton -- Really, what does that mean?
Organic cotton provides so many benefits for both the environment and the end user
that it is no wonder that it has gained so much popularity in the market
and is now being sought after in all forms from clothing to towels.
Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and therefore reduces poisonous emissions to the planet
and reduces our contact with harsh chemicals.
Also, the agricultural processes used in organic production are designed to help sustain the land it grows on.
Bella and Canvas provide stylish tees and tanks in a variety of colors that are made from 100% organic cotton.

Bamboo -- Sustainable and Renewable Goodness
Bamboo fabric is extremely unique and softer than cotton with a texture similar to silk.
It is a naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic product grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides.
The bamboo plant is self replenishing and this sustainable resource releases more oxygen into than atmosphere than most trees.
Bamboo has become a favorite for our customers because of its luxurious texture, comfortable fit and eco friendly properties.
Alo provides exciting bamboo styles for both men and women including the new 2x2 women's bamboo tank for 2009.

Recycled Polyester
Wear What You Drink
Recycled polyester is created from used plastic bottles that are then transformed into beautiful and unique clothing garments.
Recycled polyester helps eliminate excess waste from landfills, reduces toxin emissions into the air
and ocean while lessening our dependence on oil.
This revolutionary fabric has completely changed the way people view sustainable garments
and shows the true magnitude of change that recycling can cause.
You can view Alo's recycled polyester styles here
and remember that is very possible you might be wearing that recycled soda bottle that you drank a while back.
We are so proud to offer organic and sustainable garments to our customers
and when we are not romping around in these frocks ourselves,
we are continually on the search for new and fresh ways that we can provide environmentally friendly
and stylish clothing for you.
Come join us on our journey to be healthy, happy and environmentally responsible and remain stylish while doing so.
What are we doing for Earth Day?
As a company we truly believe in the importance of being as environmentally responsible as possible each and every day.
For Earth Day we are taking it to the next level by participating in a company wide carpool
in order to reduce our carbon emissions.
We are also participating in an organic potluck in celebration of Mother Earth.
Everyone will be able to showcase something delicious and sustainable during this time
and share in the benefits or coming together for one cause.
These acts along with our everyday habits of recycling, conserving and renewable energy usage
will help encourage our company, not only as a brand, but as the people behind that brand
to strive for continued positive change to protect and preserve our environment.
What can you do for Earth Day?
There are many things you can do to celebrate Mother Earth on your own.
Take a look at some of our favorite suggestions to help jump start your own green celebration.
Ride your bike or walk
This simple act will help reduce carbon emissions and keep you healthy and active at the same time.
Plant a tree
Trees help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a lovely landscape and shade for the summertime. It's a win-win!
Recycle
While this may seem like an obvious suggestion, you can take it a step further
by recycling your old clothes, documents, games, bags, etc.
Not only is this good for the environment, but it can help you create a fresh start in your life as well.
Visit a local organic Farmer's Market
Shopping from local farmers helps reduce carbon emissions and supports local organic growth.
Not to mention you are always guaranteed fresher produce since it has travelled less
and remains free of preservatives and chemicals.
Eat Organic
After you visit that Farmer's Market, create an entirely organic meal that is sure to give you
and your body a reason to celebrate.
