Buy a Shirt - Save a River

It's not every day you find a win win win - but in April you will find just that, a win win win, all month long.

Hotel Felix, Chicago's greenest hotel, has partnered with Recycle Me for an Earth Month promotion that will make everyone a winner.

Recycle Me, the organic cotton clothing company that brought you all organic cotton tees, grown, sewn, and printed in the USA, is donating the last of it's t-shirt inventory to be sold at Hotel Felix - only $15.00 while supplies last. The proceeds will benefit Friends of the Chicago River.

'Not only are you getting a quality cotton tee free from pesticides and chemicals where all stages of production were good to the environment, you also get to help the local environment, the Chicago river,' says Alix Gnoske, founder of the former company Recycle Me. Gnoske was happy to donate the shirts to benefit the Friends of the Chicago River as she has been exploring and birding along the river since she was 13.

The tees will be on sale all of April at Hotel Felix, in downtown Chicago at 111 W. Huron. Shirts range from babies to adults with a variety of eco-smart phrases, such as 'I AM GREEN' and 'ORGANIC eat it wear it be it.'

Friends of the Chicago River started in 1979 and is the only organization solely dedicated to the Chicago River. Their mission is to improve and protect the Chicago River system for people, plants, and animals.

Hotel Felix opened in 2009 and is the first eco-friendly hotel in Chicago with Silver LEED Certification. They are celebrating Earth Month all April with additional promotions and events including free yoga classes provided by Pop-Up Yoga Studio every Wednesday.

So this April check out Chicago's greenest hotel, buy a shirt that was produced supporting the environment, and get even greener with that purchase (maybe buy two or three!) as the proceeds will benefit your own Chicago River.

Win, win, win!
