The You are What You Wear Contest: Day 4
Environmental and social crises are called out in “lawn” signs around the earth, from over-fishing to the destruction of the Amazon rain forest. Designer Miguel Adrover created a compelling message and graphic to inspire awareness and action.
Created from organic cotton grown at the hessnatur organic farming project in Burkina Faso, West Africa, the tee was produced at Grameen Knitwear in Bangladesh, part of the network founded by Dr. Muhammad Yunus, recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.

It’s important for us to make the connections between the environmental destruction and our economics. I think our overemphasis on growth has driven much of the destruction. This t-shirts captures some of the effects in the reverse direction: The environmental destruction will impact us economically, not just ecologically. Maybe once this becomes obvious, people will start to act. Hopefully, it won’t be too late by then.
