Garments For Urban Decay
For this exclusive collection, we decided to work with nature inspired colours as the everyday garments that we wear are all produced from our natural surroundings. The project takes cues from the colours and patterns of natural objects all around us and the title was conceived as an idea of representing the subsummation of man-made objects by nature.
Buy A Tee, Plant Some Trees
In our efforts to raising awareness about the declining environment, we felt that there was a natural affinity for us to work with a nonprofit organisation that is aimed at helping to restore the earth.
For every purchase from the collection, we will donate the proceeds to Ecologi where you will help to plant 18 trees to offset about 2 months worth of carbon footprint. These trees will be planted in sites located in Madagascar, Mozambique and Nicaragua where you not only help to replenish to environment but also create jobs for local planters there.
While we cannot completely eliminate the use of plastics and other harmful materials, we can make a concerted effort to help restore our environment by helping to grow more trees and letting nature subsume its place.
A Life On Our Planet
In the latest Netflix Documentary by David Attenborough - one of the forefront activists for climate change, it was made clear that the only we can bring back the age of the Holocene by letting nature subsume its place over our farms and other man made establishments.
“The Holocene has ended. The Garden of Eden is no more. We have changed the world so much that scientists say we are in a new geological age: the Anthropocene, the age of humans[.]”
An example of Chernobyl was brought forth as it clearly exemplified the improvements we can make to nature if we let nature return back to its original capacity. What was once a thriving city soon became dilapidated due to the nuclear meltdown in 1986. After several years have gone by, nature slowly claimed its position back onto the town, taking advantage of the absence of human activity.
Now, Chernobyl, almost 30 years after the disaster, is home to an abundance of wildlife. From boars and elks to wolves, some scientists have discovered that the absence of human activity allowed for these animals to thrive even better than at radiation free zones in nature reserves. Many scientists have also discovered rare species of birds thriving in these areas due to the lack of human presence.
Rebuilding nature is key to restoring the Earth because it cushions the impact of human pollution by filtering harmful gases such as Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide. Trees act as the natural lungs and livers of the Earth and with more trees, more nature and less man made establishments, David Attenborough believes that we can avoid the end of the world and return back to the age of the Holocene - or Garden of Eden.
Let’s start making conscious efforts to helping the environment. Ultimately, we are saving ourselves from an impending dystopian future.
