Buy A Tee We Plant A Tree

No, planting one tree at a time won't save the planet, but it's one more way for socially conscious tshirt designers to distinguish themselves from the pack. Tees for Change will plant a tree for every t-shirt or onesie purchased. Owner Andreea Ayers, created the store to promote happy, healthy minds and bodies, and to counter all of the negative thoughts around going green and alternative lifestyles. The tshirts have empowering messages like "Choose Happiness," "Live Fully " and "Today Matters" and come in bright, happy colors. Perfect for a yoga practice, or to provide a bright, contrast color as an undershirt.

There are many things that people don't know about trees that might make a difference in their attempts to plant them around their house and neighborhoods. The oxygen released by one mature beech tree is enough to keep three people alive, the Linden tree (more prominent in England) has had rope woven from its bark, tea brewed from its dried flowers and sugar made from its sap.

Trees have always provided a number of uses to animals in the wild, but trees also are equally beneficial to humans in their day to day lives. Trees create a cooling effect and can reduce the cost of air conditioning by planting them in places that shield your air conditioner and house from the sun. Trees can also add up to 20% in property value and make neighborhoods a beautiful place to live with their different forms, colors, and textures.
