From today 22 until 25 May 2014, the Europeans vote for the direction the countries will take together in future. Europe is very heterogeneous because of its cultural richness; but there is at least one topic which concerns all - and not only Europeans: the health of earth, its vegetation and wild life. Recently, British eco-label Rapanui sent some images of new charity t-shirts and sweaters which will help collecting money for the World Wide Fund for Nature, the WWF. The fashion items - such as the 'WWF Vanishing Polar Bear' t-shirt (image on this page), focus on the awareness of wildlife and climate; the photo-print shows the polar bear as a cut-out figure in the Arctic and the WWF-panda bear. Rapanui's prints make aware of species which are threatened by extinction caused by careless human behaviour and climate change. The eco-political fashion-messages are made of 100% certified organic cotton and manufactured at an ethically accredited, renewable energy (wind) powered factory. Each sold item (£3 from every t-shirt, £6 from every sweatshirt) will support the work of WWF for a harmonious living of humans with nature. Rapanui sells the items on rapanuiclothing.com/WWF. |
