The 10 years Old Shirt, a green legacy for future generations

In 2010, I bought this shirt from a thrift shop and used it to produce The Greens' first official T-Shirt, a Clean Up the World weekend T-Shirt.
I first wore the shirt during a community clean-up campaign as you can see below.

On it was boldly written "Our place... Our Planet ... Our Responsibility" and "Talk Green, Teach Green, Live Green TTL3G" and this was just a year after I had taken environmental protection as my responsibility and decided to live a life of talking, teaching and living green.

Later that year, I wore the shirt again to promote environmental education via our project "Beautiful Clean Green Schools (BECLEGS)" as you can see below;

Ever since then, I have been wearing this shirt to educate people to care for the planet. In 2022, I wore the shirt to a workshop to educate participants about pollution resulting from the fashion industry and what they can do to curb textile pollution.

10 years and I still have this shirt. It's my wish to keep this shirt for as long as I live so that I can pass it on to future generations as my message for them to care for the environment.
