A top fashion designer has pulled off a first for Christmas by producing a free wrapping paper in The Sun newspaper in aid of the charity, Cool Earth.
Dame Vivienne Westwood produced the wrapping paper to raise awareness about rainforest protection and Cool Earth's latest campaign to save a tree with every jar of Cool Earth Coffee sold. The wrapping paper which is today available in The Sun newspaper is a pull-out, big enough to wrap a large present. It features her iconic "Prince Charming" design with the slogan, "Climate Change is Not a Fairy tale." The wrapping paper also details in print her involvement with Cool Earth saying; "Dame Vivienne Westwood is backing new Cool Earth Coffee where the sale of each jar protects a tree. Each jar gives 20p to a community-led Peruvian project area that is protecting 150 acres of the Amazon....." Cool Earth Coffee went on sale in 600 Tesco's stores earlier this year and is available from the website coolearth.org/coffee. The wrapping paper also contains Christmas Greetings from the iconic fashion designer who talks about her make do and mend philosophy; "....I feel like it is better to buy a nice dress than to buy 10 t-shirts and tights put them in the washing and in a couple of weeks they all look horrible." Vivienne Westwood goes on to say; "There are so many confusing messages about (climate change) - but I believe the one of the best things you can do to help is simply saving a tree."You can save a tree now with the charity Cool Earth at coolearth.org/protect-a-tree
