What is a creative T shirt design/Slogan for an Environmental Club? (mainly we recycle)?
Hey I could totally use some advice on a T shirt for our Environmental Club… Whatever we use for our T shirt we will have a similar cup design that we can give out to kids at our school to make them more aware, and saving plastic bottles at the same time :p
This idea may seem long but if it is put together right all the info will fit. Some parts of the print can be different..smaller or bigger, and you can scatter the info about in all different colors.
Black t-shirt with a pic of the earth on the front & the recycle symbol behind it.On the back ( in many different colors) it will tell about plastic as well as other things that you can recycle, along with how to recycle as well as fun facts.Here is what i think should go on the back at the top:
Plastic …What Does It all mean?
On the bottom of a plastic container is a triangle made out of arrows with a number inside of it, each number is a code and stands for one of 7different kinds of plastic,each is used to make different items.(be sure to put a triangle around the # so they know what to look for)
Plastic #1-Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE): 2 liter soda bottles, cooking oil bottles, peanut butter jars.
Plastic #2-High Density Polyethylene (HDPE): detergent bottles, milk jugs.
Plastic #3-Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): plastic pipes, outdoor furniture, shrink wrap, water bottles,bags, salad dressing and liquid detergent containers.
Plastic #4-Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE):dry cleaning bags, produce bags, trash can liners, food storage containers. Most grocery stores accept HDPE (#2) and LDPE (#4) plastic bags for recycling.
Plastic #5-Polypropylene (PP):bottle caps, drinking straws. Recycling centers almost never take #5 plastic.
Plastic #6: Polystyrene (PS):packaging pellets or "Styrofoam peanuts," cups, plastic tableware, to-go containers.Many shipping/packaging stores will accept polystyrene peanuts and other packaging materials for reuse.
Plastic #7-Other:certain kinds of food containers and Tupperware. This plastic category, as its name of "other" implies, is any plastic other than the named #1-#6 plastic types. These containers can be any of the several different types of plastic polymers. Recycling centers cannot recycle plastic #7. Look for alternatives.
PETE is the most commonly recycled household plastic.

Did you know it takes fourteen 20 oz. PETE bottles to make enough fiber for an XL T-shirt.
Fourteen 20 oz.PETE bottles to make 1 square-foot of carpet.
Sixty-three 20 oz.PETE bottles make a sweater.
Fourteen 20 oz.PETE bottles yield enough fiberfill for a ski jacket.
Eighty-five 20 oz.PETE bottles yield enough fiberfill for a sleeping
bag

Not all plastic can be recycled. The two most recyclable categories are numbers 1- PETE & 2- HDPE.

Upwards of 8 billion polystyrene and polycarbonate hangers clog our landfills every year. How many is 8 billion hangers? It’s enough to fill the Empire State building from basement to observation deck — 4.6 times! It is estimated that it would take from 800-1000 years for these plastics to break down in anaerobic landfills, and possibly longer. That’s 40 generations necessary to break down these plastics.

Did you know?
* Americans throw away 2 million plastic bottles every 10 minutes.
* Plastic bottles take hundred or thousands of years to begin biodegrading.
* 150 billion plastic beverage bottles are produced each year. Recycling a ton of plastic bottles can save about 3.8 barrels of oil.
* 70-80% of plastic bottles are not recycled.
* 100 billion plastic bottles end up in landfills, roadsides, streams or oceans.
* The average American consumes 167 bottles of water a year.
* Bottled water is the second most popular beverage in the United States.
* A majority of containers today are made from plastic.

Plastic isn’t the only thing you can recycle.
Recycling a single aluminum can can save enough energy to power a television for three hours.
A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in about 60 days.
Recycling a three foot high stack of newspaper saves one tree.
Water pollution related to glass production can be cut by half when using recycled materials.

Here are just a few more things that can be recycled:
Clothes,Eyeglasses,Appliances,Computers and electro

Take the recycle symbol and put people around it looking like they are helping to crank it in the direction of the arrows.
And because recycling is a reclaiming of raw materials, it is a natural process. Only it takes too long if left to nature, so we humans speed up the process. So…. your slogan can be something like "Giving mother nature a little boost"

A simple design is fine like this:
