Tragedy Strikes Haïti Posted on January 25, 2010 @ 5:09 PM

On January 12, 2010 at 4:53 pm an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude struck Port-au-Price Haïti. Structures of all kinds were damaged or collapsed, from shantytown homes to national landmarks.  Including the Presidential Palace, The National Assembly building, the Port-au-Prince Cathedral and the main Jail.  Killing and injuring thousands of people. Leaving so many  homeless and children instantly orphaned.  This was the largest recorded earthquake to ever hit the small Island.  This disaster is the latest to befall the country of about 9 million people. Haïti is the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation and among the poorest in the world.

With people stripping the trees for fuel and to clear land for agriculture, the mountainous countryside has been heavily deforested. That has led to severe erosion and left Haitians vulnerable to massive landslides when heavy rains fall.

It is good to hear that many countries have responded to appeals for humanitarian aid. Many countries pledging funds and sending rescue and
medical teams. Unfortunately, because of the earthquake, communication systems, air, land and sea transport facilities,
hospitals and electrical networks were damaged, which slowed down rescue and aid efforts.

It will take time for Haïti to be rebuilt, at 10 years of hard work awaits the country.  Port-auPrince, the Capital, will have to be intirely rebuilt, including agriculture, reforestation and building new roads. Which, honestly, Haïti has long been needing. I look forward to seeing Haïti rebuilt and strong!
L’union fet la force!

New Year! New Post :) Posted on January 3, 2010 @ 7:12 PM

Thanks for shopping at URTH! We know that you had many options, but you chose URTH! Which can only mean that you ROCK!

Urth wants you to know that your tee is Unique!

Urth tees are embellished using recycled material. Once that material is gone, that’s it! no other tee will have that same design/fabric on them. Tees will have the same pattern, but never look the same. Unless of course, they’re made in self or contrast jersey fabric. Typically, if a recycled tee was used, only about 4 Organic tees can be embellished. So the same person having the exact tee is 1 of 4.  But, if the recycled tee was used because of the print, all 4 tees will look different because different parts of the materials was used. Tees might have the same “look” but will never be exact! That sounds like good odds to me

Urth is looking forward to the New Year! New beginnings, New goals, new Decade! Waiting to see what’s in store for us this year. Hoping for all good things! Allowing it all just just flow in as it may.. Letting go of the oars.. Just down streaming it!!

Look forward to many new things from us! Come back often because our designs are constantly changing.

Peace & Blessing!

ORE’s development projects involve high revenue tree crops, improved seeds, cash crops and marketing programs.
