Eko Noiz believes our chests deserve better than being used as outdoor advertising spaces for giant corporate entities who are keen on splattering dull logos over a great many tee shirts nowadays. They have unsuspecting models pay out of their own pockets to help promote brands whose primary concern is solely that of their own growing profits.
Is it not more interesting to use this space to say something about ourselves or our own beliefs? …through the classic, fun, good-looking and trendy medium that a good old t-shirt can be? We found there was a need for tee shirts which would convey more meaningful messages about our world today...something beyond fat cats' brand names...
Eko Noiz feels strongly that Humans have somehow forgotten their path and are destroying their home, our planet and all its other inhabitants…So through the use of art, graphics, wit, words, humour, symbols and celebration we have sought to create an ever-growing collection of tees to both decorate our chests and voice our concerns in a spirit of protest.
By wearing an Eko Noiz tee shirt that carries a positive, fun, witty, scary, haunting, predictive, jolting, or mocking comment about our times, you can make this message reach someone else's consciousness. Even if they stop only fleetingly to think about its meaning, that is already a valuable step.
We are living in times where a definite shift in our stream of collective consciousness is taking place. In the 100th Monkey Theory, behaviours learnt by isolated monkeys on a Japanese island were soon shown in monkeys on other islands once a certain number of monkeys' awareness had been activated. We believe that at any moment someone could be the "100th Human" - the point at which if only one more person tunes into a new awareness it will strengthen the field so that this awareness will be picked up by all...
Eko Noiz’s mission is precisely to bring such moments of awareness through our original tees and stickers…Phrases and images about where we are now, where we are going and what we can do to make things change for the better...
The designs can be printed onto alternative more eco-friendly fabrics and we are also creating a comprehensive facts compilation so that our tee shirts can be backed up by information in our website. Information lies at the core of change…
Our Earth is being battered and we are certain she would appreciate more of us voicing our concerns for her…and fighting for her survival…
We hope you find designs that will suit you or someone you love... Now that we have begun, we will continue to come up with many more ideas, as the kind of issues we are interested in disseminating are endless…
Our aim is to form partnerships with organizations big and small that are dealing with pressing issues such as fighting pollution, nuclear energy, deforestation, illegal logging, wildlife conservation, weaning us off petrol, encouraging the organic and renewable energies sectors, educating children and many others.
We will forward a percentage of the revenue generated by relevant designs to chosen organizations so that not only are we passing on messages but truly making a contribution to those in the frontline… and allowing you to do so too through us.
We want to make Eko Noiz grow into a web where people can use the site to make contacts, find others, initiate projects, express art, exchange science and information, open up forums, show their work, advertise courses, sell eco-products…and many more ideas…the tee shirts and stickers are our first steps… |
