The only sustainable t-shirt printer in town!

Hi - I would like to introduce myself to the sustainable community here in Alb., NM. I am Tim McCarthy -wildlife artist and environmental steward. My main reason for doing what I do is I am at war against one of the most toxic polluters in the world today -the screen-printing industry. The toxics they use and pollute with every time they print is directly related to the ongoing continuous wars in Iraq and elsewhere - the inks and solvents they print with are tainted with the blood of innocent people- dying for the sole purpose of providing huge quantities of oil- to make cheap inks with.The inks that they use - will last billions of years and end up as plankton food in the oceans throughout the world. There is 2x the amount of microscopic plastic in the ocean's water as there is phyto-plankton. Billions of barrels of oil are used every year to make the solvents, PVC plastic inks, emulsions and screens- that the screen-printing industry uses -and pollutes with- as it's standards.
