We spoke quite a bit about Earth Day this year in Holstee HQ. The consensus overall, is that it's intention is positive, but the overall outcome seems short lived. Turns out we were in
GOOD company in this view point too.
The case for generating 'awareness' seems a bit played out at this point. More than anything we were
curious about what people people were intending to do that day and beyond.
Now that another Earth Day has come and gone, how will you change or improve a habit, that can improve your presence on our planet?
We invite you to make a vote for what your doing (if its not there, please add it) in our
facebook poll.
ps, mark z, if you're listening it would be so cool to embed facebook polls into posts :-)
It is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and in honor of this we are excited to announce our latest line of limited edition upcycled tees.
With this limited edition line, we've decided to give tee's of years past, a new life. We've collected tee's from friends + neighbors, carefully inspected them for quality, and gave them a sweet little Holstee touch. Each shirt has been hand silk screened, with a one of a kind print.

Quick + Dirty. Describe yourself in <140 characters.
The facts: I grew up on the coast of Maine, I live in Manhattan, and I am a freelance writer.
[non tweetable version] I feel most alive when I am outdoors, breathing fresh air. I continue to be inspired by my surrounding environment and the people in it. I am a go-getter; I am almost always trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, and I am passionate about promoting the good works of others.
The last blog post you read was about...
In preparation for a behind the scenes media tour I took at NBC Studios this morning, I read "
What Your TV Is Telling You to Do"on the Wall Street Journal--thanks to my friend Olivia Zaleski for sharing. It discusses eco-friendly "behavior placement" (as opposed to product placement) across NBC Universal's programming.
If you could be any superhero, who would you be + why?
