We Add Up
I just found out about this environmental campaign called We Add Up ( http://www.weaddup.com) and I was excited to see that veganism is an aspect of it. Here is what they say on the website:
WE ADD UP is a global campaign using organic cotton t-shirts that literally “counts you in” to help solve the climate crisis. Every shirt is printed by hand with a unique number. YOUR number is your position in our sequential global count of people who are taking steps to do their part. As the count grows, we demonstrate to the world that “WE ADD UP.” On the back of each shirt is a word or phrase that describes an action almost anyone can take to reduce their carbon footprint - the contribution their lifestyle makes to greenhouse gases - such as, Unplug, Lights Off, Carpool, Hybrid, Bike, Buy Local, and 27 others. You choose which action you are committed to doing and get counted in. No one can do everything. Everyone can do something. And, WE ADD UP.
Their vegan shirt:

Anyway, I don't know much about the project but it seems cool. And they say "Three dollars from the sale of this tee will be donated to a non-profit organization working to implement the solution this shirt promotes. Please email us to recommend a worthy organization." It's probably better to just give the $25 directly to the organization you want, but wearing vegan shirts is always a good thing too, since it can get people talking.
Awesome idea!
I hope they're fair-trade.
Shit. I'm not vegan (just vegetarian that avoids eggs and most dairy) but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a "Vegan" shirt. But I love the idea of it and if it wasn't misrepresentation from me I'd totally rock one of those. Drats!
My favorite is the "breast feed" one.. check it out haha.
ot: I wish more women would breast feed their children.
That is super cool, if I had monies I'd totally buy one. Can you have more than one thing on your shirt?
these are great, I like all of them : )
pity you can't get a bunch of the symbols because so many would apply
that's neat!

All kinds of good reasons to do this :)
Glad you guys like this. It looks like you can get a shirt with ALL of the symbols, but you can't pick and choose, and if you get all the symbols then it doesn't say what they are so that's no good.
lauren, I guess you could get the "eat less meat" one, but that's not good either because people shouldn't be eating ANY meat! ah, the dilemma. oh, I know! go vegan and get that one! ;)
dessie, my roommate really liked the breastfeed one too :)
I thought the insulate one looks like a roll of toliet paper.
I hope they're fair-trade.
It does say they're "sweatshop free." They're cute.
This is a cute idea. I want the vegan and the cyclist ones.
I hope they're fair-trade.

I figured they were.
I went to check and got distracted by the other designs. XD

:) You're adorable my dear!
Those are neat. I like them.
I thought the insulate one was toilet paper, and I didn't get it for a while...
