It\u2019s the <strong>ideas<\/strong> on the shirts that are important, not the shirts themselves.<\/p><p>I'm here to spread ideas that contribute to the wellbeing of people, nature and the planet.<\/p><p>So, please, don\u2019t buy this stuff unless you can genuinely afford to. By that I mean you have enough money to spare that you won\u2019t be adding to unpaid credit card debt, cutting back on essentials, or regretting it later no matter how much you love the teeshirts.<\/p><p><strong>Take inspiration from the ideas on the shirts and apply them in your life. <\/strong>There are many ways to make the world a better place, and most of them don\u2019t rely on teeshirts (no matter how cool they are).<\/p><p>***<\/p><p>So, you may ask, if selling is not your goal why do you have a shirt shop? Fair enough question!<\/p><p>In a nutshell, The Good Vibes Network requires financial resources to exist, and like many people today, my resources are limited due to the state of the world.<\/p><p>I had dismissed the possibility of merchandise to help fund and spread the word about The Good Vibes Network. I\u2019m a non-materialistic person, and \u2018stuff\u2019 doesn\u2019t do it for me at the best of times, but I have a particular horror of useless stuff that damages the environment and exploits and harms people. I can not stomach the hypocrisy of such items promoting Good Vibes principles.<\/p><p>Then one day my favourite search engine Ecosia, which funds tree planting (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecosia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.ecosia.org<\/a>), was advertising their new shirts, proudly produced by Teemill. Responsible, ethical, sustainable Good Vibes Network clothes became a possibility. And here we are :).<\/p><p>So if you can genuinely afford to buy, your purchase of sustainably produced, 100% organic Fair Trade clothes, printed with eco-friendly inks using renewable power, goes toward keeping The Good Vibes Network alive and growing. Your support is truly appreciated - thank you!<\/p><p>Sending good vibes to all!<\/p><p>Tammie :)<\/p>","urlTitle":"im-not-here-to-sell-teeshirts","url":"\/blog\/im-not-here-to-sell-teeshirts\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/im-not-here-to-sell-teeshirts\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/thegoodvibesnetwork.teemill.com\/blog\/im-not-here-to-sell-teeshirts\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1574573116,"updatedAt":1574798697,"publishedAt":1574798697,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":41968,"name":"The Good Vibes Network"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5ddd855e53d821.40932800.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5ddd855e53d821.40932800.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5ddd855e53d821.40932800.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":null,"metaDescription":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":2011,"title":"I have a dream","url":"\/blog\/i-have-a-dream\/","urlTitle":"i-have-a-dream","division":41968,"description":"Welcome to The Good Vibes Network!","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5dda236cba27e7.52371789.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5dda236cba27e7.52371789.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
