Ends today!
From Friday 15th - Sunday 17th April, every slogan t-shirt you buy from Phenix Tees and Totes will also buy a tree!
And your action sets off a chain of awesome stuff, so read on.....
Of the 1 billion items of clothing made each year, almost 40% of all production is never utilised. This means a dump truck of textiles waste goes straight to landfill, every second. And when you think about it, climate change is because of stuff like this. CO2 pollution occurs as part of the process of making things.
All our slogan t-shirts and totes are made differently. We work with an amzing company called Teemill that ensures that our products and packaging are made from natural materials, not plastic. Every slogan t-shirt or tote bag Teemill makes for us is designed to be sent back when it is worn out - Teemill make new products from the material we recover, so the cycle itself is renewable.
The Teemill factory is also powered by renewable energy. Through solar, real time, in the seconds after they're ordered. We only make what people need, when they need it.
Instead of making more things and hoping for change, we exist to change the way things are made. That's what sustainability means to us. So why plant trees too? As we can, the better question is why would we not?
Ensuring our planting efforts are as effective as possible, we at Phenix Tees and Totes support the work of Teemill who partner with various tree-planting projects and organisations. Most of them are international, where biggest impact can be made.
So far the partnerships have mostly contributed to projects that have reforested large areas of Madagascar.
Since the first Buy One Get One Tree campaign, Teemill have captured over 2 million kilos of CO2 by planting 34 football pitches of reforested land.
From Friday 15th April - Sunday 18th April EVERY slogan t-shirt you buy from Phenix Tees and Totes will also buy one tree and you can see above just how much of an impact that can make!
