On April 22nd, people across the globe will come together to celebrate Earth Day 2025, with this year’s theme: "Our Power, Our Planet." The message is clear—we have the power to protect, restore, and sustain our planet through the choices we make every day.
At Printed By Us, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s something we actively practice. From the way we print to the materials we use, we’re committed to ensuring that the products we create have a positive impact on both people and the planet.
This Earth Day, we’re taking a closer look at how our choices—both as individuals and as businesses—can shape a greener, more sustainable future.
The Climate Crisis: Why Action Matters
🌡️ The Last Decade Was the Hottest on Record – Global temperatures have risen by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times, increasing the frequency of wildfires, hurricanes, and heatwaves (NASA, 2024).
🌊 Plastic Pollution is Out of Control – Over 400 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced every year, with less than 10% actually recycled (UNEP, 2023).
🛍️ Fast Fashion is a Major Polluter – The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions, and around 92 million tonnes of textile waste are created annually (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2023).
The good news? We have the power to change this.
How Printed By Us Supports a Greener Future
At Printed By Us, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to do better. That’s why we’ve built sustainability into everything we do.
🌱 Organic, Fair Wear-Approved Clothing – We only print on organic cotton garments that are produced responsibly, using less water and no harmful pesticides. Our suppliers are Fair Wear-certified, ensuring ethical treatment of workers.
🎨 Water-Based Inks – Unlike traditional plastisol inks, our water-based inks are non-toxic, biodegradable, and free from harmful chemicals.
♻️ Slow Fashion Over Fast Fashion – Our clothing is designed to last, reducing the demand for cheaply made, throwaway garments. A high-quality, ethically made t-shirt reduces waste and emissions over time.
By making these choices, we’re using our power to protect our planet—and when you support us, so are you.
Our Power: What We Can All Do This Earth Day
Want to use your power to help the planet? Here are a few simple but impactful ways to get involved:
🔋 Reduce Energy Use – Switch to renewable energy providers or cut back on unnecessary electricity use. Small changes, like turning off appliances and using LED bulbs, add up.
🚲 Rethink Transport – Can you swap a car journey for a walk, bike ride, or public transport? The transport sector is responsible for nearly 30% of global carbon emissions—every change counts.
👕 Shop Sustainably – Buy less, but better. Support ethical brands that prioritize sustainability and avoid fast fashion waste.
🥦 Eat Greener – Reducing meat consumption, cutting food waste, and choosing locally sourced food can dramatically lower your carbon footprint.
🌳 Support Reforestation – Trees absorb carbon and provide habitats for wildlife. Get involved in tree-planting initiatives or donate to conservation groups.
A Shared Responsibility, A Shared Future
The theme "Our Power, Our Planet" reminds us that we are not powerless in the face of climate change. Every action we take—no matter how small—contributes to a larger movement for sustainability, fairness, and environmental protection.
At Printed By Us, we’re proud to be part of that movement by creating high-quality, ethical products that don’t come at the expense of people or the planet.
This Earth Day, let’s commit to making choices that protect the world for future generations—because a better future starts with the actions we take today.
Join us in celebrating Earth Day 2025 by choosing ethical, sustainable fashion that makes a difference. 💚🌍
