The movie Forrest Gump has been on television a couple times every night this week, so I decided to find a tee related to it.  This Run Forest Run t-shirt is a literal take on one of Jenny’s most memorable quotes.  Here, forest trees and creatures flee from a menacing bulldozer, similar to Forrest running from his childhood bullies.

Deforestation is the clearing of forests to develop the land for people and animals or to sell the lumber.  This is typically attained by lumberjacks manually chopping them down, machinery pushing them down, or a controlled burning.  It is claimed that by 2030 only 20% of the original forests will still exist, with considerable concerns about the deforestation rate in South America and Southeast Asia.

While the effects of deforestation are controversial, the topic has led to a number of environmentalist demonstrations and protests throughout the world for decades.  They often focus on the amount of carbon emitted by the process, and how that relates to global warming as well as the loss of species and potential medical cures.

Whether you just like the quote or want to bring the topic of deforestation to the forefront of people’s minds, this Run Forest Run t-shirt should be a good fit for you.
