Earth Hour t-shirts on sale today
28 February 2008: What better way to cool the earth than to wear a really cool t-shirt? Due to popular demand WWF-Australia has released its Earth Hour t-shirt to celebrate the campaign that urges people to switch off lights and non-essential appliances for one hour between 8pm and 9pm on March 29 all around the world.
Funds raised from the tee sales will enable WWF to continue its work conserving the world’s unique plants and animals and their habitats, by tackling the threat of climate change. The sleek black, pure cotton t-shirt flaunts the Earth Hour ‘60’ logo and features the iconic WWF panda bear logo on the front. ‘See your world in a whole new light,’ Earth Hour’s date and the web address, ‘www.earthhour.org’ appear on the back of the shirt. The slim fit t-shirts are available in cap sleeve style for women and loose sleeve style for men in a variety of sizes.
Last year, Earth Hour had the support of many fashion designers including Ksubi who created their own Earth Hour tee design. This year, Earth Hour has the added support of many more successful Australian designers including MYER’s Josh Goot, and Melbourne- based, Yeojin Bae and Gorman, who are well known for their sustainable fashion garments. The t-shirt is available for purchase online at www.earthhour.org/tshirt for AUD$29.95 including GST. An additional AUD$20 will be added to all international purchases to cover postage and handling.
Earth Hour is one of the best known climate change brands around the globe. Now everyone can show their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by slipping on the ‘coolest’ t-shirt of the season.
