One Tee Sprouts Twenty Trees (For Less Than The Cost Of 4 Double FrappaMocchaKachingos)

What do you think is a reasonable price to pay for a 100% organically grown cotton t-shirt? $25? $30? More?

Say you spent just $20 to purchase the shirt below. Would you feel pretty good about wearing something that was pesticide free and cultivated with minimal detriment to the environment?

Personally, I'd feel pretty cheerful, but this t-shirt does so much more. Part of the Holiday Matinee Artist Series, the shirt featured in both of these photos -- designed by left handed British artist Nikki Farquharson -- costs just one crisp twenty dollar bill.

What makes that price even more fantastic is that 100% of proceeds from every t-shirt sold are given to the nonprofit organization Plant-It 2020 (founded by the late singer John Denver).

His organization was launched with the intent to properly plant, maintain and protect as many indigenous trees as possible throughout the world.

By purchasing Farquharson's design above (via http://supermarkethq.com/product/words), Plant-It 2020 will commit to planting, maintaining, and protecting twenty trees.

That is one phenomenal investment and what an admirable cause!

Please pony up the cash and spread the word :)

    I'm all over this -- thanks so much for the heads up! I would have been happy to donate twenty bucks to plant 20 trees anyway, but it's nice that they throw in such a cool organic tee, too.
