As a designer, I would love to believe this statement and buy this shirt. As a thinker, I must point out that it is a lie. Nearly every product that exists has some aspect of it that causes harm to humanity or the environment in which humans exist. Think sweatshops in China, heavy metals in electronic products, or greenhouse gasses released through production and transportation. Nearly all products, in a relatively short time-frame, end up as landfill.

Design distracts us from these facts, hides the negative aspects of what we consume, and often stokes our desire for more stuff we don’t need.
