Creates Buzz to Help the Planet
PHILADELPHIA, April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Earth Day, April 22nd
Anthropologie is drawing attention to the simple steps we can all take to help
our planet, placing special importance on the survival of the honey bees and
sustainable agriculture.
For The Honey Bees
For Earth Day Anthropologie will debut the affectionately named "Bee Tees."
The two styles, created by Edun, will generate awareness of the disappearance
of honey bees and the organizations dedicated to saving them. The 100% organic
cotton t-shirts will be available at select Anthropologie locations for $58.
Anthropologie's visual artists are also contributing their talents to the
issue. All of Anthropologie's stores will display window installations that
reflect upon bees' role in our world. Iconography like hives and honeycombs
will be represented with imagination and unexpected materials.
