Kids grow like weeds and obviously the most sustainable option is secondhand BUT if you must buy new, these shirts are made with recycled plastic by a fair trade company.
This shirt has a small carbon footprint because the fabric was made in South Carolina of US materials, the cutting and sewing is done in Haiti, and then the offices, warehouse, and printshop are in Kansas City, MO. The average shirt travels the world 6x in it's manufacturing process which has a LARGE impact on the environment, but this supply chain is only 2700 miles and are made by a Fair Trade company! Sustainable AND Ethical!
(They have adult basics that are also reasonably priced but fair trade shirts for $8 blew my mind)
