MANIFESTO
Trillion Trees Australia is a self-funding and not for profit founded in 1979. They have planted more than 15 million native trees and understory to improve biodiversity, combat salinity and soil erosion. Every dollar donated to Trillion Trees Australia goes directly to their tree planting programs. Learn more at www.trilliontrees.org.au
Today fashion is responsible for 84 million tonnes of waste per year globally. To help combat this pollution, we are launching OPERATION RESCUE in store to encourage responsible consumption.
ONE ITEM PURCHASED = ONE TREE PLANTED IN AUSTRALIA
By introducing special discount baskets aimed at minimising wastage. This means some items in the baskets have been deemed unfit to sell at full retail price and are now being offered to you at a price that reflects this, but also encourages you the customer to rescue the item.
We believe all garments deserve to be saved and not end up in landfill!
We've teamed up with Trillion Trees Australia to support their tree planting program. A percentage of every purchase from our designated OPERATION RESCUE baskets will go to Trillion Trees Australia. So, your shopping not only saves our planet from waste but creates what is required in order to achieve a sustainable planet.
HOW DO WE DO THIS?
