how green is your candiate? vote (eco)logically
america,
i realize its hard for americans to do research themselves. especially since the media pounds our ears with sooo much information. but please, do your own scavenging before picking your presidential candidate. don't just be swayed by speculation you hear on cnn or fox news. i can't deal with laziness. so if you don't have any good reason to vote for someone, then just stay away from the polls. its your right to vote, yes! but you need to be educated before you do so.

shop organic cotton: under the canopy is having a sale
its august! that means that i made it three months without buying any clothes-- which, if you knew me... would speak volumes! i got really creative and had a lot of fun picking new outfits from my "old" wardrobe, and honestly... didn't miss out on anything "to die for" in the stores, anyway.
this past weekend i paraded along with many others enjoying the tax-free shopping weekend (to reward myself). let me just say; from the looks of the hoards of shoppers in potomac mills mall last saturday afternoon, this economy is not in trouble. what a hot mess of people and clothes. i felt like i was fighting the current like a salmon headed north for mating season (its a mess of an excuse for a mall).
unfortunately, nothing i bought was organic (although banana republic and bitten by sjp both had organic cotton tees -- i just wasn't personally impressed. i'm really not a tee shirt/jeans kind of girl). when i do buy something, i try to go for a timeless appeal.
i really want my money to be spent supporting businesses who have decided to right by the environment. i think that being choosy as to which of these major companies get our $s will make the biggest impact. its important to know why we should support these companies, too.
here is some info from the under the canopy website that i found useful to understanding the benefit to my organic purchase.
shop for yourself-- under the canopy!
