She decided to run a t-shirt fundraiser to raise money to plant trees. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe mission behind Among the Jungle and the Happy Planting Campaign is to connect us more deeply with our natural world. To harness the plant communities&#8217; love for plants and reflect that out into the natural world to help heal the planet,\u201d she says. \u201cWe accomplish this by planting trees with each purchase\/donation, but also by becoming more mindful of our choices as consumers. Each shirt is selected to fight \u2018fast fashion\u2019, which is one of the top three largest polluting industries on the planet, by using recycled material and plastic bottles whenever possible. Next is to ensure any cotton used is organic (pesticide free) as well as sustainably sourced, and that pigments used are natural. Eco-conscious material was make-or-break for me when looking to begin this campaign, and I was so impressed that Custom Ink not only had options but that they had LOTS of options.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23280\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23280\" class=\"wp-image-23280 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279.jpg\" alt=\"A smiling woman holds folded green custom shirts with the words &quot;Happy Planting&quot; on them to her chest.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-860x574.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-680x454.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-76x51.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASP_8279-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shii and her custom shirts.
