Threadless members Frederik Wepener and Ross Zietz have collaborated on PeliCAN, a tee design for a good cause: all proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Gulf Restoration Network.
As of this writing, there is still no end to be seen to the Gulf oil spill. And as we all watch the gallons of oil spilling into the water and onto land, we can't help but wonder what we can do to help. The result is this design, peliCAN, which is intended to add a bit of hope to an otherwise devastating situation.
Threadless is donating all proceeds from the sale of this tee to the Gulf Restoration Network, a 15 year old environmental non-profit organization committed to uniting and empowering people to protect and restore the natural resources of the Gulf Region for future generations. They're the only environmental organization working Gulf-wide, and since the first days of BP's oil drilling disaster, they've provided independent monitoring and advocacy focused on holding BP accountable and ensuring an effective and transparent response to the crisis. Take action, stay informed, and donate to these efforts here.
"PeliCAN" may only make a small dent in the aid that goes to the Gulf Coast area, but they also hope it will keep public focus on one of the biggest ecological disasters of our time, and inspire others to help too. Both Ross and Frederik have donated their standard designer payment to the cause as well.
BP's oil drilling disaster continues to wreak havoc on coastal communities and the environment.
Let's get a T-Shirt!
