Tee Hugger Apparel

Hey there, blog reader. We're Tee Hugger, and we want you to be our pal. Why? Because you're not here on this Internet just to loaf around and crack wise until the boss lets you go home. You're here to make a difference while you loaf around and crack wise until the boss lets you go home. And so are we.

Like you, the gang here at Tee Hugger knows that caring for our fragile planet is hard work, but that doesn't mean that we can't have fun while we do it. We believe that the way to a society's heart is through its funny bone, and that's why our line of 100% organic cotton shirts preaches our message of green living through humor and not... well... preaching.

For example: According to the World Resources Institute, more than 80% of the Earth's natural forests have already been destroyed (http://www.nationalgeographic.com/eye/deforestation/effect.html). While this statistic is grim, strides are being made to slow the process of deforestation, and one of the most important things we can do to keep this ball rolling is to raise awareness. Tee Hugger shirts, such as our "Run, Forest! Run!" design (http://www.teehugger.com/product_p/thas1017_thjs1003.htm), are a perfect silly segue to open up that serious discussion.

But once your funny shirt has opened that dialogue, your clever brain is going to need something to say. Something like, "Good news, everybody! Brazil just announced a plan to reduce deforestation rates in the Amazon region by 70% over the next ten years." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7759192.stm) Isn't that better than your tired old Forrest Gump impersonation?

Just stick with us and the Tee Hugger blog will fill your thinkhole with new facts, figures, and fun every week. You'll be the smartest eco-kid on your block. And the best dressed!
