Eco-friendly non-profit AShirtBag is auctioning off Michigan celebrity donated A-shirts and tank tops to raise funds for science, ecology, and environment programs at Detroit Public Schools.

Shirts from celebrities including Kid Rock, Sandra Bernhard, Paradime, and The Dirty Americans are available for bidding at http://myworld.ebay.com/ashirtbag.  Bidding ends Saturday, May 1, 2010.

“Bidding started at $100 per shirt,” stated Jeff Newsom, AShirtBag founder.  “We already have Kid Rock’s ashirtbag’s way over the asking price bid”

In addition to supporting a great cause and reducing waste placed in landfills, the purchase of each bag is a tax write off under all state and federal laws. Each bag is sent with a tax donation form with the final bid amount.

All of the proceeds raised from the sale of the celebrity bags support AShirtBag’s mission of educating third, fourth and fifth grade students about the environment.  Children receive eco-friendly school supplies and each classroom and school receives recycling bags and bins as part of the free project-based AShirtBag program titled “7 Things You Can Do in 7 Days to Save Our Environment”.

“Introducing environmentally conscious behavior at an early age makes it easier for kids to continue eco-friendly practices throughout life,” says founder Jeff Newsom.
