To commemorate World Environment Day on Tuesday, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has launched a special T-shirt, branded The Earth Tee and designed by fashion designer Anita Dongre.

"The Earth Tee, designed by Anita Dongre, depicts the new paradigm of environmentally responsible fashion. The initiative is launched to celebrate the initiation of this long-term relationship, as we decided to jointly promote The Earth Tee with Anita Dongre and Lakme Fashion Week as partners," the spokesperson added.
The fabric is made from pre-dyed fibres that doesn't require much water. Whatever little water is required, 90 per cent of it is recycled.
