Most of our garments should be washed in cold water and tumbled dry on low heat. Care instructions are listed on the garment tag.
Our garments come from multiple vendors and vary in sizes and fits. To help in getting the right size we suggest you look at the sizing guide on each products page to get the perfect fit. If you're not sure what size to get or if you're in-between sizes, we suggest ordering the next size up.
All of our items have been pre-shrunk so they should not shrink to much, but as with most garments they will shrink in the wash and stretch a little during wear. The 100% cotton shirts will shrink more than our 50%cotton/50% poly shirts. To avoid shrinking our shirts to much we recommend washing them in cold water and drying on low heat, or better dry it outside on a clothes line.
All of the garments we offer will have minimal fading. As with all clothing the color of our clothing will fade slowly overtime as you wash our clothes. We suggest washing our garments in cold water to minimize fading.

We primarily collaborate with fulfillment companies to keep things simple so we can focus on growing the Earth Citizen culture, bringing people together and sharing wise ideas, people, and groups for sustainable living and happiness.
We feel this is a great way to bring our message into the world. For example, we feel that when someone wears an EarthCitizen shirt or posts one of our stickers on their water bottle they are helping transform the world. People can not help but think about the idea and their own place in the world once they have seen the message on the shirt or sticker. Also, by making ethical consumer goods we are helping transform the global market to be more ethical since we are funding more and more business that are making socially and environmentally responsible products.
We believe by focusing first to be a for-profit organization and eventually growing into a collective of corporations (non-profits, cooperatives, foundations, etc.) we can generate the greatest social, economic, and political empowerment system for wise ideas, people, and groups. In a Ted talk by Michael Porter he notes that over 82% of the economic resources generated in the world come from businesses.[1] We wish to tap into this pool of resources to transform the world. A big portion of the 82% of economic resources come from providing people with useful products such as food, clothes, and energy. That is why we are first creating some items such as T-shirts, water bottles, and cards. We of course are going to work hard to make those products in a socially and environmentlly responsible way. This gives us the opportunity to help transition businesses by supporting only those that help us build ethical products. We feel it is important that all businesses transition to providing their services in an ethical way. Once businesses operate in an ethical way, the seperation between for-profit and non-profit will diminish since both are doing good for people and the world. In the future, we plan to really transform the 82% economic resource pool by creating a web platform that helps people empower the wisest ideas, people, and groups socially, economically and politically. People will be able to easily share information, vote on wise ideas, invest in companies, and more. We currently allocate 5 - 10% of our profits to help offer Gifted Gift Cards (coming soon) and empower the democratically voted wisest ideas, people, and groups for sustainable living and happiness in the world via our Sponsorships & Donations take action.
