Welcome to Teeminder, bringing their organic cotton apparel to VegFest!

Teeminder tells us “We design and sell eco-designer wear (T-shirts, tanks, tops, dresses, scarfs) made with certified 100% Organic Fair Trade Cotton. So yes, they are made Ethically. We do our designing in-house and our screen printing is done using water-based eco-friendly inks. We support the health and livelihood of organic cotton farmers and the garment workers in the farms and garment factories; especially in developing countries. We say NO to GMOs and pesticides seeping into our skin through our pores. We promote sustainable farming practices that produce less greenhouse gas emissions and work to combat climate change. Our work is influenced by our yoga/vegan lifestyle and our brand is specifically geared towards supporting sustainable manufacturing & social responsibility.”

Vegan Billboards!

Posted on by

Animal Rights Rochester will be posting two billboards around Rochester from May 6th to June 2nd!  One will be on a very high traffic area on the inner loop, and the other is TBA.  Both will resemble the image here.

Thank you to JP for providing the image (and reworking it for the billboard layout), and for taking the initiative on this project.  Thank you to Jade at Lamar, the billboard company, for working with us to get some great locations.

The funds for this mostly came from fundraisers we held around the time of our first billboard, so thank you to people who attended ARRoc’s 2016 Holiday Dinner, and a Red Fern fundraiser in 2017.  We were holding onto the funds, waiting for a good billboard location to be offered to us.  The funds we had raised are short about $300, so if you would like to contribute to these billboards (or future ones), you can do so at our Donation page – you can leave a line in the memo to earmark them for billboards.
