Artistic Green Apparel (1 tee = 1 tree)

This is as about as green as the t-shirt industry can get, a remarkable offer of one tree  planted for every Artistic Green Apparel tee bought. Amazing. I’d love to see this happen with every product out there, and perhaps a small forest for every S.U.V purchased out there. The website design is seriously dated, and that colour scheme something akin to militaristic, but all is forgiven when you realise that not only is their heart in the right place but they have knocked out a few cool t-shirts too ;)

All of their clothing is American Apparel and as mentioned, for each t-shirt a customer buys, they plant one tree (1 tee = 1 tree).  They have recently won $25,000 in the Pepsi Refresh Project and have been using the money to help expand their clothing line and reach. Their business has massively expanded over the past few months and they are definitely looking forward to the future. Their future consisting of more eco tees, plus some sterling work for the environment including recycling drives and park clean ups, a goal of attaining a zero carbon footprint, and for next summer jaunting off to as many music festivals as possible to promote their brand. Now that’s the way to do business, save the earth and still have fun!

Right now I’d say that these two definitely stand out from the collection…

Man o’ Warning Tee

The absolutely best tee on the site, a lovely style, reminds me of a few vintage Japanese illustrations I’ve ogled in the past. The story behind the shirt is rather terrifying actually, it looks like the sea has warmed up so much that asides the vast swathes of “plastic soup” drifting in the Atlantic, now it seems that jellyfish are killing everything they can find in the sea. The Brits have already just about lost their stable diet of cod and chips, what now, jellyfish and noodles? Someone pass me a pair of Marigolds and a large net. This tee is available for guys and girls in sizes S-XL at $16.99 each.

No. The Facts Tee

A cool typographic tee with a serious message… “30 billion plastic bottles every year. Less than 5% is recycled. Bottles take 700 years to decompose. 1.04 billion bags per day. Only 1% gets recycled.” Available for guys and girls in sizes S-XL for $16.99 each.
