A Whole Lotta Love for GGG Tees

Tags: , , ,


The Green Girls Global and Green Guys Global tees are all about projecting ideas for global sustainability. Each one holds a message about ‘The way life can be’ and is inspired by articles written by the GGG editors.

The Green Girls and Guys talk about living sustainably in many ways and so the themes of the tees reflect those broad ideas and hopes for our planet, including sourcing locally, energy efficiency and conservation.

The tees are designed and printed by Lee Tracy, artist and GGG editor. Lee has other tee projects including Kitten in the Engine and Look for Fiddleheads. She is committed to using low impact ways of printing and producing her organic tees. The printing process uses non-toxic, water-based, textile ink with no hazardous binders, produces little waste and does not require any solvent cleanup. The ink is set into the fibers of the tee with a safe mechanical heat press that keep the fabric soft and washable.

The range of beautiful hand-dyed colours and designs can be bought at the Green Girls Global Etsy shop. Orders of multiple girls or guys tees come with a shipping refund, GGG tote, and a page from Lee’s sketchbook.

Of course I have a GGG tee or two myself and I can vouch for their loveliness. The fabric is extremely soft and the printed images are clear and colourful. But don’t take my word for it here’s what others have to say. There’s a whole lotta love for GGG tees out there…

From Rain Forests to Runways by Beth Doane

Rain TeesUSA based designer and environmental entrepreneur, Beth Doane combined her passion for fashion and rain forest conservation to create the Andira Rain Tee collection. Rain Tees is the first and only apparel line to use the artwork of children in endangered rain forests to make a statement about our planet, to create green jobs in the Amazon and to give children trees to plant all with one simple apparel purchase.

I created the 100% organic collection by donating school supplies to children in Central and South America and asking them to draw what they see happening around them. Each Rain Tee features the children’s thoughts and illustrations and is handmade in Peru at fair trade factories.

Rain Tees launched on the runways of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and has quickly become one of the hottest new eco-casual brands in the USA.

The line includes collections of tees for women and children and prices range from $34-$38 USD. For each tee sold, Kids Saving the Rainforest participants in Costa Rica receive a tree to plant in an area threatened by deforestation. Rain Tees are available at www.thegreenloop.com and will soon be available for purchase within the UK.
