Earth Tee GIVEAWAY
• 24 April 2009
As I've watched the amount of trash we throw out each week shrink; and the amount we recycle each week grow, I've thought a lot about my own personal contributions to both landfill and recycling center. I've learned that taking the time to recycle as much as possible requires a little extra effort if you live in a place where they don't make it easy peasy for you (you Pacific Northwesters have it soooo good!). But you know what? It feels really good to take a few extra minutes to ensure a contribution to this good cause. Keep in mind that traditional recycling isn't the only way we can help our planet--you can read more about it here in a "recycled" post about easy ways to be more "green" :)
So readers, since it is Earth Week and we are already on the subject of improving our earth, how about a little giveaway along those same lines? The Terra Tee Project has been kind enough to offer one reader my favorite t-shirt from their collection--the Earth Tee ($65 value). I love a pretty li'l graphic tee and this eco-friendly version is not only beautiful, but it's a tee you can feel good about wearing for all sorts of reasons.
First, the tee is made from 100% organic cotton farmed in the USA. It is also manufactured here in a sweat-shop-free environment. There's something you can feel good about! Terra Collections also uses low-impact, eco-friendly dyes as well as water-based inks to create their tees. As an added bonus, 15% of your purchase goes to the environmental charity of your choice. Sweet! If you can't wait until the end of this giveaway
So what do you say, shall we get this Earth Week giveaway started? Oh, and while you're leaving a comment, feel free to share any easy tips or ideas you may have about being more eco-conscious or recycling in general. It's not necessary to leave an idea or tip to enter the giveaway, but it would be much appreciated :) Thanks!

ReplyDeleteLove the t-shirt. I don't have anything to add...I'm just now beginning to try to go green. I've started by making my own laundry fabric softner. Baby steps is key. I'm growing my own veggies this summer and have just started a compost pile. We'll see how that goes, it requires math. UGH! Love your website.
ReplyDeleteCute tee! I would wear it. :)

ReplyDeleteso pretty...fingers crossed!
ReplyDeletei love these tees. i really need to break away from the plain t-shirt wardrobe i am currently sporting.
ReplyDeletemy favorite tip is to get reusable bags that roll up and go in your purse so that you don't have to remember them every time you go in to the store - they are already with you.
What great tees!!! PLANT A GARDEN!!!!
ReplyDeletewe are recycle. my kids avoid the school bus & walk or bike the mile to school. we try to do our little part in helping. thanks for sharing! jrccawley@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteOoooh could I be so lucky???
ReplyDeletelove the spring green...
ReplyDeletelovely tees! my tip: go vegetarian or vegan. it will have the biggest impact on our beautiful earth.
ReplyDeleteI love it...so cute...pick me!
ReplyDeletePlant a garden--you'll get pesticide-free veggies and not have to drive to the supermarket to buy tomatoes that taste like cardboard.
Have your kids make crafts out of recyclables--egg cartons, backs of cereal boxes, and (of course) cardboard boxes. Let them freely raid magazines in the recycling bin for collages. A lot of the crafts can still be recycled when you are done. It's great to make art out of junk!
ReplyDeletelove the bright colors and bold graphics. don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room:)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and organic!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

my suggestion is that earth week should be celebrated EVERY week. We only have one earth...we shouldn't be wasting it!
ReplyDeleteOur town now has recycling collected with garbage pick-up every week. It is amazing how little we throw out in the regular garbage now! I'd love one of these shirts, for me or for a friend or daughter!

ReplyDeleteLovely! I am always in need of a cool graphic tee. I made a resolution to take my reusable bags to the store as much as possible because I was so bad about remembering to bring them with me. Now I leave them hanging by my keys, so I see them before I go out the door.
