Socially Conscious T-Shirts

Why wear a shirt with a celebrity on it when you can have Makenna Gigliari from Bradford, Ontario or Franka Tomic from Korkula, Croatia? Joy Apparel is an intriguing socially conscious company with the goal of promoting peace & equality through introducing normal people from around the world...by putting their faces on T-shirts! If you buy a shirt you can submit your own face and join in the fun. Find out more on their site.

Happily there are some folks that are working change the situation. Project Laundry List is spreading the word about the benefits of air drying and the bigger issue of unsustainable energy consumption, while working to change the laws that prohibit drying clothes outside.
