Eco-Friendly Homecoming T-shirts

Last year for Homecoming we ordered shirts from a company called Andira International.  This company offers consulting, design, distribution and marketing to companies that want to create products while remaining as eco-conscious as possible.  The company has three different collections called Demano, Artesania, and Rain Tees. 

When our sorority bought our t-shirts from the company we went through The Andira Rain Tee Collection.  This collection saves trees with tees.  Rain Tees is a 100% organic line of apparel for women and children that features designs by youth living in endangered rain forests.  They donate school supplies to the children and ask them to illustrate what they see happening in their world every day. Each Rain Tee features their thoughts, illustrations and names, and for every item sold a child involved in the non-profit Kids Saving the Rain Forest receives a tree they can plant to replace one that has been destroyed.

Since Delta Zeta supports sustainabilty efforts, we thought this would be a great way and opportunity to participate.  Our chapter ended up winning the t-shirt contest during the homecoming pep rally.  On the front the shirt it said, "Delta Zeta is saving the Rain Forest..."  and the back said, "While the Yellow Jackets are destroying the Cardinals."  Below are pictures of all of our girls in our 1st place homecoming shirt.  To look at Andira International main website, visit http://www.andiraintl.com/philosophy.html.  To look at The Andira Rain Tee Collection, visit http://www.raintees.com/.
