When we had floods in the Lake District last year they were major national news for days as people struggled to cope with the rising waters. Despite living close to a valley floor our house is a few metres up the side of the valley, so whilst the field in front of my house had a river running through it for the first time in anyone in our families memory, we were safe. Tim from Teecycle hasn’t been so lucky, from the looks of it his house is going to need a lot of work, and even though he’s got a lot of friend’s and family helping him out, I’m sure some cash wouldn’t go amiss either, so check out his tees and pick one up so that we can get Tim, Jess, and their baby Clara back home soon.
This might be Teecycle Tim, or it could be one of his friends from a photoshoot.
Okay, not
that Pepsi Challenge (that post would indicate a slow news day), but rather PepsiCo’s “
What’s Your Pitch?” contest.
Teecycle, for those of you that are unaware, is a site that sells cool second-hand tees, and gives $1 from each
sale to the
River Revitalization Foundation, a Milwaukee based organisation, and the tees are only $7 to start with, so it’s not a token gesture. Clearly, Pepsi liked this (and why wouldn’t they?), and awarded Tim, Teecycle’s founder, a grant of $4,500 to keep on doing his good work. Tim hopes to use the grant to launch a line of tees by local artists, and has other plans for the future as well, such as a documentary about ethical clothing.
