stephmodo: Earth Tee GIVEAWAY

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!

  1. Love 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.

  5. i love these tees. i really need to break away from the plain t-shirt wardrobe i am currently sporting.

    my 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.

    Plant a garden--you'll get pesticide-free veggies and not have to drive to the supermarket to buy tomatoes that taste like cardboard.

  11. 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!

  18. Lovely! 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.
