UPDATE: Congratulations to our winner, Shellie (of Maryland)! Thanks to everyone for participating, and 8Bottles for sponsoring. If you didn’t win this one, never fear – a new Great Green Giveaway is around the corner…so stay tuned.
Rock your recycled world with a finely crafted unisex polo shirt made from 8 recycled plastic bottles. Absolutely no dyes are used to create the green color of the shirts, the color is derived from the bottles themselves. Totally cool in more ways than one — since it has moisture wicking properties, it’s perfect for the links, or just sporting around town.
Thanks to the folks at 8bottles.com, one lucky winner will receive a complimentary polo shirt in his or her choice of size. (Shirts retail for $40 and prize includes free delivery to residents in the USA or Canada.)
Our lucky winner will be selected in our Random Drawing, and notified by email. Contest ends Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 11:59p (EST). Winner has 24 hours to claim their prize, or that offer is null and void. Winner’s name will be included on this post.

love the concept of a “green” shirt made from bottles, hope this is our future.
That’s amazing that these shirts are made from bottles. The thing I like best about this company is they are innovative.

They are part of 1% for the planet, very eco-friendly and they make it 100% known on their web site and through their products
I would love to win the shirt because I could always use another shirt, especially considering how little money I have right now.
I love that they are making clothing with recycled bottles. They are so comfortable!

What I like most about the company is the fact that they strive to use 100% recycled and 100% recyclable material for all of their packaging
I’d like to win this shirt for my husband because he hasn’t had a new shirt in quite some time and it looks pretty darn comfy

I like that they ship in recycled materials, do not use virgin materials and do not add dyes.
I want to win this for my husband who is trying hard to be very green, for his birthday.

I can’t imagine a silky soft shirt made from green plastic bottles.
PET stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate.
I’d like it for my husband, it would look good on him :)
