“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need but not any man's greed” - Mahatma Gandhi

Quay-Studios is a small design and art studio printing small-batch hand-screened t-shirts since 2020. Due to popular demand and to streamline business for the web, we are now offering Print on Demand t-shirts with the same important and increasingly urgent message.

In 1712, British ironmonger Thomas Newcomen invented the first widely used steam engine, which meant the beginning of burning coal on an industrial level. It has now been well over a hundred years since scientists first theorized that CO2 from industry has disastrous effects on our environment. Yet, our species continues to struggle to get our act together. We now have Floods, Fires, Droughts, climate Refugees, climate Migrations, generational Storms, Hurricanes, extreme and excessive Heat of record setting proportions. In 2006, in a laugh or cry moment, British comedian Rob Newman presented his stage show There Is No Planet B: A history of the world backwards. The phrase was later popularized by British researcher and writer Mike Berners-Lee in his 2019 book There Is No Planet B: A Handbook for the Make or Break Years, the rest is history.

We have been marketing these No Planet B shirts since 2020, vending at various events on a local level here in the historic Hudson River valley. With this web-site we hope to expand and acknowledge that mans greed has made our planet a mess and we need stand up and say so.

We donate  10% of our proceeds to the Riverkeeper organization. Please check FAQ’s for more detailed information about Print on Demand t-shirts, event sales, shipping, etc.

Please look closely at the size chart (if possible please compare to a favorite shirt you own). Also please look closely at the detail photos of the actual printed t-shirt (before and after washing) to see the printing quality. And take a look at the Returns Policy in the FAQs. A big Thank You for shopping mindfully.

thanks so very much for taking a look,
we really appreciate it.
