:: About moreTrees ::
Founded in 2000, moreTrees offers urban streetwear made with blends of Organic Cotton, Hemp and Recycled P.E.T. (plastic soda bottles). Everything's designed and Made in America because we want the whole process to be ethical and genuinely sustainable. This year, our production facility received the global compliance certification for social responsibility!
moreTrees has been featured on MTV’s Think Tank, in E: The Environmental Magazine, The Yogi Times,
Vision Magazine, Treehugger, Australia’s Lip Magainze, and The Utne Reader.
We use Organic Cotton because conventional cotton is the #1 user of pesticides in the world! Conventional
cotton production pollutes the water, the soil, cotton workers, and our bodies. Organic cotton presents a soft,
ethical, and luxurious alternative.
We also use Recycled P.E.T., made from Recycled Plastic Soda Bottles,
which produces an absolutely amazing, versatile, and wrinkle-free fabric.
We blend durable and breathable Hemp fabrics because it requires no pesticides. We promote re-legalizing
industrial hemp farming in America, which is currently illegal due to corporate lobbying from synthetic and
timber competitors back in 1937. Hemp can provide over 25,000 products, including housing material, fuel,
papers, cosmetics, and bioplastics. It used to be illegal to not grow hemp in America, because it's such an
essential, easily renewable crop.
The transition toward hemp production and other bio-resources can end our damaging dependence on
foreign oil, synthetic plastics, clear-cutting forests, and conventional cotton production. Utilizing hemp as
an alternative resource is essential to save our remaining forests, rescue polluted waterways, revitalize the
economy for farmers, and ensure that our future biosphere will be breathable. Hemp can stop the war!
