Kastlfel Teams with Zoo & Aquarium Operator Service Systems Associates on Earth Day 2019 Apparel to benefit Earth Day Network

LAKEWOOD, Colo. & DENVER - March 28, 2019 - Californer -- Kastlfel and Service Systems Associates (SSA) this week announced a limited edition charity apparel partnership for the 49^th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, 2019. Kastlfel, known for its sustainable Trash. Shred. Spin. Wear® and "How Things are Made Matters™" campaigns, makes unique tee shirts and other apparel from recycled plastic bottles and cotton that tell a story. The exclusive Kastlfel collection benefiting Earth Day Network for women, men, and children is available on www.kastlfel.com starting April 1, and at select zoo, museum and aquarium gift shops operated by Service Systems Associates (SSA).

Earth Day Network, whose mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide, has designated 2019 as a crucial year to protect species from extinction. Today's world is facing the greatest rate of extinction since we lost the dinosaurs more than 60 million years ago. But unlike the fate of dinosaurs, today's rapid rate of extinction is the result of human activity. "The good news is that extinctions can still be slowed, and many of our declining, threatened, and endangered species can still recover if we work together now to build a united global movement of consumers, voters, educators, leaders and scientists to demand immediate action," says Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network. The campaign is particularly focused on bees, giraffes, elephants, insects, coral reefs and whales. www.earthday.org

"Kastlfel shirts have a unique story to tell and connecting this story with cause driven groups and companies like Earth Day Network and SSA is a great opportunity to make an impact. We feel it's important for consumers to know how their product is made, right down to being printed in Colorado with water-based inks, because their choices do make a difference," stated Jerry Wheeler, CEO.

Adding to the Earth Day Network campaign with Kastlfel is Service System Associates Inc. (SSA), the nation's largest operator of zoo, museum, cultural attractions and aquarium gift shops, offering this collection of garments for sale in select locations across the U.S. to coordinate with their national conservation and sustainability efforts. www.kmssa.com
