+CAUSES

We're not worthy! We're not worthy! But..the wonderful positive causes that we are supporting are very worthy recipients of a portion of the proceeds from our sales. We are going green and being human as we support environmental causes and people in need. The symbol at the left with the + sign (positive) surrounded by the big C (for Cause) represents our positive causes. Please help us in supporting these great efforts to preserve our planet and make lives better.

Our causes include:

Little Help Trees - Be a part of our "Grow A Pair" program and help us plant new trees so our future generations can enjoy the luxury of breathing fresh air. For every tree-themed t-shirt sold through our website, $2 will be donated to AmericanForests.org - this translates to two trees (grow a pair) being planted in reforestation projects either at home in the US or other areas in need around the world.

FlyBird - For the birds. For every bird-themed t-shirt sold through our website, $2 will be donated to American Bird Conservancy (abcbirds.org). This great organization promotes the welfare of birds and their native habitats throughout the Americas.

Recycle Bicycle - In some parts of the world some simple 2-wheeled transportation can be a great enabler. We will donate $2 to a bicycle donation charity for every bike-themed t-shirt sold through our website. These charities help refurbish and redistribute bikes to people in need in the US and around the world.

Who moved my freeze? - There has been a twenty percent reduction in summer polar ice cap coverage since 1979; polar bears love a good swim but this is getting ridiculous! We will donate $2 for every climate change-themed t-shirt sold through our website to Global Green USA (globalgreen.org), a charitable organization that works to limit negative human impact on climate change.

Save a Sole - (Coming Soon!) These charities can give a second life to those old running shoes sitting in your closet by distributing them to some barefooted folks in need. We will donate $2 for every shoe-themed t-shirt sold through our website to help make feet happy in the US and around the world.

Play On! - (Coming Soon!) We are supporting distribution of athletic supplies to promote sport for under-privileged kids. We will start this effort focusing on soccer with other sports to be added in the future. For every soccer-themed shirt sold through our website we will donate $2 to Passback (passback.org). This charity changes thousands of young lives by providing soccer uniforms and equipment to boys and girls in need from the US and all across the planet.
