Original Waste: Neglecting The Planet For Profit

Original Waste: Neglecting The Planet For Profit

When it comes to environmental destruction, plastic pollution is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface lies a deeper issue — corporate greed that prioritizes profit over the planet. Our new Original Waste tee takes aim at that very truth, using a stark image to expose the cost of corporate neglect.

Six polar bears, each ensnared in a plastic six-pack ring, stand in for cola bottles — a haunting reminder of how big brands wrap their products in waste while wrapping their hands around billions in profit. They’re the faces of those paying the ultimate price for the bottom line. The design is a visceral commentary on how powerful companies profit while ecosystems suffer.

Why Corporate Greed Is the Real Culprit
Plastic pollution didn’t just happen. It was manufactured — packaged, sold, and tossed away by corporations that put convenience and profit before accountability. The beverage industry alone produces millions of plastic bottles every day, and most end up in landfills or the ocean. The message is clear: they profit, we pay.

But what about the polar bears? They aren’t the only ones trapped. Countless species are ensnared in plastic waste, their habitats shrinking while corporations expand. It’s not just plastic. It’s oil spills. It’s deforestation. It’s the systemic exploitation of natural resources for quarterly gains. What can we do?

Turning Profit Into Protest
Wearing the Original Waste tee isn’t just about spreading awareness. It’s about turning corporate propaganda into a protest. It’s about reclaiming the narrative. With every purchase, you’re helping to rebel against these senseless entities. Rocking our bold ironic designs for the public to see, sparking conversations that might just save the planet. You're directly funding beach cleanups and recycling programs, fighting back against the very forces that created the waste.

Because the truth is, they won’t change unless we force them to. They won’t stop polluting until it cuts into their profits. And that’s where we come in — loud, unapologetic, and unwilling to stay silent.

Join the Movement
Original Waste isn’t just a shirt. It’s a statement. A protest. A call to action. It’s a demand for accountability and a refusal to let corporations profit from destruction. Wear it. Share it.

Wear the truth. Restore the ocean.
