Serious Sustainability 🌱

At Funny Shirts, we don’t just plant funny ideas—we plant real trees! For every order over £20, a mangrove tree takes root in Kenya.

Why trees, you ask? Well, our mission is simple: put a smile on your face and a tree in the ground. Mangrove trees help protect coastlines, absorb tons of carbon, and provide a safe haven for wildlife, making them natures superstars.

By combining humour with environmental action, we’re proving that fashion can be funny and planet-friendly at the same time. Every time you snag a shirt from us, you're not just refreshing your wardrobe with a funny design, you’re also helping to refresh the planet. We are fighting climate change, one mangrove at a time!

Okay, but seriously, where do we plant?

In partnership with the GoodAPI, we are reforesting Kenya. Coastal communities in Eastern Africa are dependent on the mangrove ecosystems for employment, livelihood, and nutrition.

In recent decades, these coastal areas have been urbanised at unprecedented rates. Mangrove forests were converted into other land use. Coupled with lack of effective governance, mangroves were overexploited and over-harvested. The destruction of the mangrove forests also contributed to the loss of critical habitats for many organisms. Threatening the livelihoods of these impoverished communities, pushing them further into poverty.

With your support, we are restoring the mangrove forests. The goal of this project is to empower the impoverished coastal community to break the poverty cycle. In restoring the mangrove estuary, which is rich in biodiversity, this project will provide fishing grounds for local people.

This helps to create additional income streams, including sustainable harvests from the mangrove forests. The restored forests will also help to stabilise coastlines. This will act as a vital line of defence to protect the land and the communities during tropical storms.
