If you are like my family then you already love Chipotle for multiple reasons.  Tasty, fast, fresh…just for starters.  Did you also know that you can also find super comfortable and cool clothing at Chipotle as well?   What if I told you it’s also made with 100% certified organic cotton by Loomstate?  Double win, right?

Chipotle has partnered with Loomstate to offer comfortable, eco-friendly clothing choices that will also let you express your love for Chipotle.  Tote bags, t-shirts…even baby onesies…all made with 100% certified organic cotton and all sporting fun Chipotle inspired graphics.

So not only can you show some love for your favorite burrito but you can also save the Earth at the same time!   I had a chance to try out some of the items from the Chipotle store and I can tell you first hand that this is the softest cotton I’ve ever felt.  The shirts hold their shape beautifully, the graphics are clear and sturdy, and the black t-shirts don’t fade quickly after repeated washings.  These are clothing items you can feel good about wearing for multiple reasons!  Yes, they are really (really, really) comfortable and look great, but you can also feel good about helping to make a positive environmental choice when you purchase them.   Here are a few words  from Chipotle and Loomstate:

It was a natural fit when Chipotle teamed up with Loomstate, widely recognized as a pioneer of sustainable fashion, to outfit every Chipotle employee in 100%certified organic cotton clothing. Designed in the signature style Loomstate is known for, all of the graphic tees, polos, henleys, woven shirts and hats you see in our restaurants are created using organic and sustainable materials and socially-responsible methods of production.

And it was an easy step from outfitting their employees to sharing with you!   Chipotle and Loomstate recognize that food and clothing ultimately start in the same place…on the farm.  Here are a few bits of trivia for you:

Chipotle and Loomstate Cotton Infographic

 

  • Chipotle and Loomstate have partnered for 2 years to make a positive environmental impact on the Earth
  • Together they have prevented the use of 35,000 of synthetic chemical pesticides
  • The certified organic seed from their cotton production can supplement the feed of 250 cows
  • The cotton used to make their t-shirts has produced over 295 tons of certified organic cotton seed.  That’s equal to the weight of 400,000 Chipotle burritos!

 

It’s easy to forget that small changes and choices can make a huge impact on our earth.   Taking reusable grocery bags when you do your grocery shopping.  Choosing locally grown produce whenever possible.  Using a reusable water bottle instead of purchasing bottles of water that will go into a landfill.  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle…always.  Now you can add dressing fashionably to that list!

    I shop local whenever possible, re-use things at home in art projects with my son, and always shop thrift before I buy anything new!

  6. Tony says

    I started a recycling program at my office. Trying to reduce the amount of paper, plastic and cardboard that was thrown away.

    We have a huge recycle trashcan that is filled most weeks, so not as much is going into the trash pick-up. Its taking time to teach my husband what is and is not recyclable, but it is worth it for the environment.

    I bring reusable bags to the grocery and I try to recycle as much as possible!
