KERMIT sang about it\u2026 we all know it\u2026 but despite sometimes being tricky, we know that being green is the best way to keep us all in the pink. <\/strong>But we don\u2019t want to be a scrooge, and want to help with solutions. So, this Black Friday we\u2019re not doing nothing, but we\u2019re making it Green Friday instead.<\/p>

\"9manvwnntekri1q0tm7lhimrkd55idpyqk4szl82uahzy6id.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"It\u2019s a \u2018one tee, one tree\u2019 weekend,<\/strong> so for every order you make with us from 9am on Friday to midnight on Sunday<\/strong>, a tree will be planted. Now a lot of you might be questioning this initiative, because though it sounds good, there are some greenwashing demons about, and not every tree can go everywhere, so check out Tree Nation<\/u><\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>who are the people we\u2019re supporting with this initiative, and specifically their Eden Project in Madagascar. They don\u2019t just bung a load of non-native species into an area and call that a box ticked, but actually target areas that need it, and actively fight deforestation whilst engaging with the local communities to create a positive economic impact for them. They\u2019re the good guys. And we love a good guy.<\/p>

So if you are shopping this Black Friday, don\u2019t feel bad about it, but think about what a bargain you\u2019re getting if you purchase a 100% organic cotton, fully recyclable OPM guy along the way. Because for the normal price, you\u2019re also helping the planet, and that\u2019s pretty valuable.<\/p>

Also a lot of our stuff comes in green<\/u><\/a>. Does that help? Laters\u2026 OPM x<\/p>
