At some point I am going to have to write about the whole phenomena and explosion of what I call hipster t-shirt companies. It seems like every day there's a new company hawking t-shirts with pithy, snarky phrases or serendipitously political messages.

Today I discovered Wire and Twine through Digg one of the companies I put in the "eco-hipster" category : not quite political but socially engaged enough to make saving the earth their fabulously designed call to action.

Wire and Twine created a whole site for their special "50 ways to help the planet" t-shirt. At 50 Ways To Help, they explain each and every icon that appears on the t-shirt. Yet look closely to the page. You could in theory print it, cut each box and share each card with your friends and family. You know, because we wouldn't leave the cards anywhere and just litter, wouldn't we?

As a former personal chef and avocational foodie, there is no way on earth I'd agree with #4, but I totally agree with #8, #10, #14, #24 and absolutely with #28 (because it totally makes sense).

Check out the 50 ways to help the planet and tell us which ones you find interesting enough to discuss.
