I asked myself many times: how can I help the environment?
And I did my research, and I had reactions of fear or anger.
Fear for the future, anger for the problems humans can produce for other humans and nature.
After feeling overwhelmed, I shifted into a place of curiosity:
there may be something I can do from my perspective of being someone who buys stuff, and creates stuff.
When I was working as a video editor, my manager said that I am a “problem solver”, and the CFO of the company used to say to his children:
“Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions”.
Why not shift the attention from the problem to the solution, so we can have
“solution finders”: people who think outside the box and bring new ideas and ways to do things.
One of these is Teemill, a British company that prints T-shirts and other apparel and products, using sustainable and recycled materials.
I love the Ted talk by the founder of Teemill, “Letter to the dustbin man”.
He studied what happens when clothes are thrown away, and he implemented a solution.
And I think the most important thing is that
- Teemill products are good quality,
- the customer service is good,
- and they offer a free service to recycle their worn-out clothes, and anything 100% cotton.
For all these reasons, I use Teemill for my print on demand products (apparel, T-shirts, clothing for children, women and men, tote bags).
For me as a consumer and as a business owner it’s a win - win - win - win -win… choice
(I know, so many wins).
And I love to use the Teemill platform to design new products and see almost in real time what they will look like.
Teemill also has lots of design assets, so I let my children play with the platform to design their own mugs :)
And with my designs I can share my art on a different level, with products where I use text as well as an image, to share an intention.
