To urge on a brilliant NZ summer and beautiful pohutukawa blooms, Starfish in partnership with Project Crimson are proud to present the BLOOMER tee.

All proceeds from this fundraising tee go towards supporting Project Crimson and their efforts to replenish NZ’s pohutukawa and rata trees (of which over 90% have disappeared from our coastline). 

For just $55 help support Project Crimson as well as solve your Christmas gift ideas.
Purchase your tee from our Starfish stores, online at www.projectcrimson.org.nz, or by calling 0800 pohutukawa.
Available in women’s sizes 10, 12, 14, 16 & 18.

Designed, made and printed in New Zealand.

Being a Top 12 supporter of the radio station RDU-98.5FM in Christchurch, November was our Month of Glory where we got to run a competition of our choice and give away prizes. We thought that this sounded like a good opportunity to get some tips on how to lesson our impact on the planet, so we asked listeners to ring in with their most innovative, interesting or extreme eco-solution. Thanks to all who participated – the response was great!

Below are the solutions from our winners – Celeste, Miles, Bee and Toby. Congratulations and keep on pushing the agenda.

Recycling/Sustainability Solution – “Rather than constantly buying new stuff, I organise book and clothing swap parties with my friends. It’s free and social” (Celeste).

Fair-trade Solution – “Buy fair-trade underpants and keep the sweat out of your knickers” (Miles).

Alternative Energy Sources Solution – “I put my hand into the compost bin – it was hot! I used this ‘heat energy’ to create a smell-proof compost mattress base that heats up my mattress during frosty winter nights” (Bee).

Pollution Solution – “Carboys that leave McDs and KFC rubbish on the side of the road should be summarily executed at 12 noon every Sunday in the Square. One in the temple!” (Toby).

…yep, well I guess sometimes extreme measures are necessary.
