BUY A T-SHIRT AND: PLANT 25 TREES or SAVE 3 LIVES or PROVIDE A LIFETIME OF CLEAN, DRINKABLE WATER or EDUCATE 3 CHILDREN A YEAR

It's that simple.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- This December, TONIC will launch a series of 4, limited edition 'Every T Counts' T-Shirts, designed by guest designers.

TONIC is a refreshing company finding uplifting ways to invigorate and strengthen people's lives and the planet through offering services and products. Each is designed to aid in implementing philanthropic programs with measurable, impactful, global and relevant outcomes.

Each organically-made bamboo T-shirt is available for $45 (40% donated to the special programs) exclusively through the website at www.tonicgen.com.

TONIC asks: "What if capitalism and social good can co-exist?"

TONIC is a for-profit company with a new business model. They hand over a big chunk of their profits, 40% on average, to the people who need it most. The good news is that they're not in competition for dollars you donate to other worthy non-profits. See the difference you can make exercising your purchasing power.

TONIC partners with secular non-profits working around the globe who make huge differences in four key areas -- the environment, education, health care and human rights.

A driving force for the greatest amount of good in the shortest amount of time.

Choose from their eco-friendly, organic gear made using sustainable sourcing and ethical manufacturing processes.

Check out the counters on our home page. Each second shows TONIC getting closer to their goals. Each time an item or service is purchased, you immediately see the difference you have made through the TONIC Map and Impact Measure Systems.

Every T Counts!

The Net. Tee

Two people die every minute from malaria. That's 2,880 deaths daily from a disease that can be largely prevented. Second to AIDS, no other disease kills more.

Each Tee funds the delivery of 3 mosquito nets to families in Africa.

The Tree. Tee

Just half of the Earth's original forests remain and another area the size of South Carolina disappears annually.

Each Tee funds the planting of 25 trees in North America.

The Fresh. Tee

5 million will die this year because they don't have access to safe water. Over one billion people lack access to this basic human need.

Each Tee contributes to a lifetime of water, latrines, hygiene education and sanitation for one person in Nepal or Honduras.

The School. Tee

There are nearly half a billion children in India, millions living on the streets and railway platforms. One teacher saw most spending their days begging instead of going to school. So she is bringing school to them.

Each Tee will help fund a full year's education for three children.

*TONIC Tee's use the highest quality, sustainable materials, methods of production and are holding ourselves and vendors to strict quality and labor standards.
