If you’ve ever spent any time in Atlanta during the summer you know that it is unbearably hot. One of the main reasons for the temperature is lack of tree cover. Trees Atlanta is doing their best to return the city of Atlanta to it’s green past by planting more trees. The organization has partnered with Atlanta lifestyle brand The Honorary Citizen (THC) in an inventive program where proceeds from select THC purchases go to support Trees Atlanta.

The program continues through Georgia Arbor Day on February 17, 2012

FM does not have a clear cut path as of yet but we can expect fashion to be a major part of their output. The first product to come from FM is the oil based Harun No. 7 cologne. Sold exclusively at Union, Harun No. 7 contains woodsy, spicy, Indian attar, with a citrus top note. Like traditional oils, it can be worn as a fragrance or burned in the crib.
