Hanes is such a well known household name. But Hanes is much more than socks, underwear and undershirts. Hanes is a company that takes community, charity and the environment seriously. Hanes has partnered with The Arbor Day Foundation to encourage the planting of trees. For every qualifying purchase of three Hanes products with mail-in redemption and proof of purchase from April 1 through May 15, Hanes will send out a free Hanes Earth Day T-shirt and will donate a dollar to The Arbor Day Foundation. Hanes is sending me a t-shirt for this post and will send on to the winner of the giveaway at the bottom of the post.

For every qualifying redemption of Hanes product purchases, the Arbor Day Foundation, which works to replant trees in America’s national forests that have been damaged by fire, insect or disease, will plant a tree on behalf of Hanes and its consumers, up to 20,000 trees.

Also, for every virtual tree you send, up to 3 per facebook user,  the Arbor Day Foundation will plant a real tree, up to 50,000, on Hanes behalf. Become a fan of Hanes on Facebook and go send a virtual tree.

Hanes has also introduced a new consumer Web site Hanes Green (www.hanesgreen.com) There you can learn more about the brand’s environmental responsibility effort and watch the "For Future Generations" ad.  The Hanes green Web site will also offer information and ideas for how you can take small steps toward making more responsible environmental decisions.

The commercial is pretty cute; with kids giving Pete dirty looks from all over the mall because he isn’t eco-friendly. I know it’s important for us to start thinking about our carbon footprint and how much we consume and Hanes is ready to help us by providing eco smart clothing lines with products made from recycled materials.
