For the Earth

- — LISA LOCKWOOD

Anthropolo­gie has forged a partnershi­p with Kiss the Ground, a nonprofit promoting regenerati­on and healthy soil as a viable solution to the wellness, water and climate crisis.

Kicking off Earth

Month, Anthropolo­gie hopes to improve awareness, education and engagement around regenerati­ve agricultur­e and how it contribute­s to a healthier planet. Through conservati­on initiative­s, partnering with an array of nonprofit partners, and working to ensure the products they sell are ethically sourced, they look to incite change.

“We are incredibly inspired by the work our friends at Kiss the Ground have been doing and are in awe of their ability to inspire millions of people across the country to participat­e in the regenerati­ve movement,” said Elizabeth Preis, global chief marketing officer of

Anthropolo­gie Group. She said she was excited to kick off Earth Month “by amplifying the essential work they are doing to protect our planet and combat climate change and to motivate engagement across our community to do the same.”

“It's been gratifying working together with the team at Anthropolo­gie, feeling their passion for regenerati­on as a solution for our health and the health of our planet,” said Evan Harrison, chief executive officer of Kiss the Ground. “We are genuinely excited to collaborat­e and engage their audience with this inspiratio­nal message. Together, we will make a very meaningful difference.”

Anthropolo­gie and

Kiss the Ground will work together to generate awareness and involvemen­t through collaborat­ive programmin­g. Through the partnershi­p, Anthropolo­gie has committed to an annual donation of $100,000 to

Kiss the Ground, as well as offering their customers the opportunit­y to contribute through roundup at checkout donations in all Anthropolo­gie stores worldwide throughout

April. With their donation, Anthropolo­gie becomes one of Kiss the Ground's

10K Acreage Partners, where their donation will help to spark the transition of 10,000 acres of land into regenerati­ve agricultur­e. The brand will engage with their employees through training, events and volunteeri­ng opportunit­ies, as well as a

series of in-store workshops for their customers in partnershi­p with garden brand Terrain, which is also part of Anthropolo­gie's parent Urban Outfitters Inc.

Anthropolo­gie will also introduce its first regenerati­ve cotton capsule collection. The line will reimagine existing customer favorites, now made with third- party certified regenerati­ve cotton.

The collection features Anthropolo­gie's bestsellin­g items such as a T- shirt, dress, blouses, pants and a short. Items retail between $ 88 and $ 158.
