February 12th, 2009 marks what would have been Charles Darwin's 200th Birthday. His persistence and tireless observations of the Natural World led to a revolutionary breakthrough some one hundred and fifty years ago in his books On the Origin of Species and The Decent of Man.
To celebrate Darwin's birthday and his remarkable life RECYCLE ME is offering a contest with three prizes for those of you who are interested in testing your Darwin-Trivia.
CONTEST:
Answer the three questions about Darwin's life below and email them to contact@recyclemeorganictees.com now through February 13th. The correct submissions will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of three prizes from RECYCLE ME: 1. A free shirt from our new logo line; 2. A coupon for 50% off any in stock shirt; or 3. A coupon for 25% off any in stock shirt. The drawing will take place and be posted on this blog on February 15th, 2009.
