This soft short sleeve, mid-weight YOUTH cotton tee is designed with the Ehayhu ij-yvy -Love the Earth Amazon Rainforest art that was inspired by the people of the Amazon Rainforest who have fought a battle to protect their home for decades. Their battle is also a crucial, environmental struggle to protect the largest rainforest in the world. This art includes the Guarani words "ehayhu ij-yvy" which translates to Love the Earth.

The art also contains the English words "The land without evil was beautiful like the sky," which is a reference to a Guarani tradition about a beautiful land that is like heaven and without evil. This paradise has come to represent a place where people can live in harmony with nature and the divine, without the ills of colonialism, environmental destruction, and exploitation.

Although traditionally this Land without Evil was believed to be located across the ocean, others came to believe that this land is a place of infinite food, where a great forest provides everything freely, and anyone can live in harmony with the divine. The Amazon Rainforest and surrounding regions, which are home to many indigenous peoples, including the Guarani is still beautiful like the sky, but it is not without evil. The destruction of the Amazon Rainforest needs to stop, for the sake of the indigenous people who call this region home and for the sake of the environment.

This tee provides comfort and style. Made of mid-weight fabric, it is sturdy enough to hold up to many hours of play and many washes. With its season-spanning weight, it can be worn alone on a warm day and layered under a sweatshirt or sweater on cooler days.
