Jared Polin AKA FroKnowsPhoto is doing a good thing and has created an “I SHOOT RAW” t-shirt to raise funds for the relief efforts in Australia.
From Jared:
By now everyone knows what's going on in Australia. There's been massive devastation and up to a billion animals have perished. Matt Granger reached out to me about creating a shirt to raise funds for charity and this is the design I came up with.
All profits from sales of the shirts will go directly to the “Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors”, that's Steve Irwins Zoo. Feel free to order as many shirts as you would like as all the profits go to a great cause.
Please Note: Unfortunately due to a trademark issue with G Star RAW, ‘I SHOOT RAW' shirts cannot be shipped to the EU and various other countries in that region.
Oh, shoot
Besides, what's the choice for people who want a shirt, just buy a regular one where nothing goes to charity?
Once we ignore complaints that lead to dead ends, answers reveal themselves.
1. I can donate cash to the zoo or other, and buy whatever shirt I want.
2. If I buy Fro's charity shirt, the zoo gets money, I get a shirt to wear, and more people get extra employment making them.
3. The extra work even means a few of the shirt workers have more cash to donate to the zoo.
Oh, they run typical sizes so if the size tee you wear is a little snug and you like a looser fit, go one size higher.
Unnecessary buying and disposing of clothing is of great concern to the environmentally aware. In addition, those cheap fleeces etc made from recycled plastic are a menace because every time you wash them, non-biodegradable microfibres enter the water system.
If I need a shirt, I need a shirt. Any shirt I need has to be made anyway, so it's a nothing burger if my next shirt just happens to be a special design for special purpose.
Yes .. feel free to think
This thread is not a good example of the forum in my opinion.
We Canadians were grateful for the Aussies that came up here to fight the Fort McMurray fires, and we have sent a few crews down to your fires. Our hearts feel for you.
