Clean Water is Our Most Precious Resource was inspired by the Beaver Run Reservoir, the drinking water source for over 130,000 residents. This precious water source is surrounded by oil and gas wells. In 2019, the Shaw Utica Well lost pressure deep underground, leading to a spike in pressure at 9 shallow wells which had to be flared for 3 weeks.
These iconic t-shirts are designed by Meg Lemiur and Bri Barton, the artists who designed the Waterways Illustration. Each design represents a different aspect of oil and gas impacts on the ecosystems of Southwest PA, the role of activism, and the rights that should be protected for all Pennsylvanians. These T-shirts are through Sustain U which is a Coalfield Development company that offers job training and new opportunities to workers who want to start new careers away from the coalfields.
Each shirt is a crazy-soft sustainable tee that uses an equivalent of up to 6 recycled plastic water bottles. All yarn is spun, knit, fabric dyed and finished in the U.S.A.
