Bon Jovi Goes Eco-Friendly With New Shirts

New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi are getting set to release their 11th studio record The Circle on November 10. To help build up the hype, the band has gone eco-friendly with a new line of Green merchandise.

The new line of t-shirts, called the Bon Jovi GREN Line, offers affordable shirts made of either organic cotton or a type of polyester made from recycled Mountain Dew bottles. The shirts, priced at $30 US come in two flavors: an Eco-Friendly Organic T-Shirt or an Eco-Friendly Recycled T-Shirt.

The organic shirt is made of 100% Organic Combed Ring Spun Cotton and is rated 4.5oz Certified Organic Cotton, while the recycled shirt offers something a bit more exciting. The light green Eco-Friendly Recycled T-Shirt is made of 65% Recycled Polyester f Bon Jovi Eco-Freindly Shirt

rom PET bottles / 35% Recycled Cotton. One recycled t-shirt is made from approximately 8.5 recycled bottles and will dry in half the time of a normal shirt. The band asks buyers to hang dry the shirt if possible, because its better for the environment. The shirt gets its green color from the Mountain Dew bottles.

Americans throw away 2 million plastic bottles every 10 minutes and 1 million recycled plastic bottles saves 3.8 barrels of oil and eliminates 180 metric tons of CO2. 10% of all US oil is used to make plastics.

Kudos to Bon Jovi for making recycled t-shirts and being dedicated to helping the environment.

The T-Shirts can be purchased at the Bon Jovi Store. Check out the new Bon Jovi single We Weren't Born To Follow here:
