Green is Sexy

In honor of St. Patty's Week, I would like to comment on this awesome website I came across: GreenIsSexy.org. It is a website devoted to changing the planet with tiny changes that make a big impact. I was reading In Style Magazine this week and read about Rachel McAdams creating this website, so I went online to check it out. Now I am hooked! I am all about helping the planet in eco-friendly ways. So far, I finally bought re-usable bags for the market and I have started unplugging unused appliances whenever I can.

By the way, I also have started buying these awesome eco-friendly shirts from Threads 4 Thought. They are made from premium organic cotton and they feel so awesome. Anytime I find one, no matter the color, I buy it. Be sure to check them out and do what you can to make green as sexy as possible!

A Thread 4 Thought shirt. They are so comfy and I love the length of them!

Rachel McAdams, actress, creator of greenissexy.org. I love your website! Way to go, Rachel!

Food Inc.

I watched Academy Award Nominated Documentary: Food Inc. If you have not already seen this extraordinary film, please watch it. I was so angered by this and disgusted that I became overwhelmed with frustration. I pledged to do what I could as a consumer to stop this from happening. What has our Nation become? Where are we headed if this is how we allow our animals to be treated and companies to be ran? Why are we so blind to not see what is happening around us? It's like we are all on the conveyor belt being led into one direction and not even ask ourselves, "where are we going? why are we on this? how did we get on this thing?" It's as if these "powerhouse" companies have branded us (consumers) all like cattle and we trust so ignorantly that we are going to be taken care of and treated with respect/ loyalty without knowing that we have been in the dark about everything. I refuse to be controlled and I hope you do too. Please watch this film, it will change your life and open your eyes to see a very ugly truth.
