FnF : hello rewind

Turn your old t-shirt into a custom laptop sleeve +
Support new life for sex trafficking survivors






















Every day in the United States,
over 16,000 tons of clothing and textiles are thrown away +
over 100,000 women are being sex trafficked

What your laptop wears can make a difference.

Recycle your beloved materials back into everyday life.
Once upon a time, your favorite t-shirt was your statement to the world -- a show of school pride, a taste for graphic design, a photo of your favorite singer's mug shot. These days, it probably sits unworn in the back of the closet. Here's your chance to transform your old, favorite t-shirt into wearable duds for your laptop. We cut out the design and material from your t-shirt, sew it up with batting, felt and velcro, and voila a brand new laptop sleeve!

Give once-broken women a chance to start lives anew.
Hello Rewind is passionate about fighting sex trafficking. We work with foreign sex trafficking survivors in the United States by providing them with employment, language skills, and vocational training. By purchasing a Hello Rewind laptop sleeve, you're giving trafficking survivors financial opportunity.

FnF: Falling Whistles

About

Falling Whistles gives a small window into our world’s largest war. Originally just a journal written about boys sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle, readers forwarded it with the same kind of urgency in which it was written and demanded to know –
what can we do?
The Falling Whistles campaign launched with a simple response – make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo. Read the story and buy the whistle. Proceeds go to rehabilitate and advocate for war-affected children. Share their story and speak up for them.
Together, we’ll become the voice of a growing coalition for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Eco Fact :Cotton

Isn't beautiful?

Most of our clothing are made out of cotton.

I mean Cotton is the fabric of our lives, right?

But have you ever think of cotton as a environmental hazard?

So ..these are some "FUN" facts for all of us :)

1. It takesa third of a pound (140 grams) of fertilizer and pesticides to produce enough cotton for a single t-shirt.
MS: It's almost the same weight as a -tshirt.

2. 7 of the most common pesticides used on cotton are either suspected or confirmed carcinogens.

3.According to estimations 450,000 children under the age of 14 work every day at Indian cotton farms in debt slavery and free of charge

4.Cotton production uses more chemicals per unit area than any other crop.

5.In regard to water, at least 925 gallons (around 3,500 litres) are required to produce a single pound of cotton; and 60% of the water used to irrigate cotton is lost to evaporation and poor irrigation practices.

MS: This may just all sound like #s but in Russia,the one of world largest fresh water lake ,Aral Sea ,is dried up due to being diverted for cotton irrgation!Sounds great right?!

6.Many of these plant protection products are highly effective neurotoxins, having been used as chemical weapons in the past.

7.Since 1998 alone in India 40.000 farmers committing suicide, trying to escape their debts encurred at biotechnology companies.

There are more facts about cotton..but I believe you guys get the point.
I'm not saying we need to stop buying clothes or anything that made out from cotton.
Becasue there is no way that would happen.

Try to limited the amount you using.
I know its hard.

The global trend of fashion is fast fashion.
Look at Forever 21 ,Wet Seal , H&M and etc.
Almost 98% are made from Cotton or Cotton Blend.

I mean Organic Cotton are very expensive compare to suicidtal cotton?(haahhaahhaa)
But extra $5 for Orgainc..?! Really?
Yes most definately!!!
Organic Cotton has no negative impact on the enviormental and with Sustainability.
It's for our future!!!

Now...Don't you love the clothing that you have? :P
