First time here? Welcome! So, most weeks, I post this lil “Links of the Week” post on articles or other things I find online that I am absolutely compelled to share!! Hope you find something here that moves you in some way, even if it’s just to a smile. 
As my friend Jody said, here’s a good reason why every business needs a mythologist on staff: 7 Horrifying Historical Origins of Famous Corporate Logos

So, I usually share links because they’re awesome. This week, I have something to share that I’m not supportive of! While browsing my campus bookstore, I saw this darling notebook with a cover that said “Choose to be Green.” I thought it was awesome! But then I noticed something… there was no recycle symbol anywhere. Though the product was promoting green, it wasn’t green! Therefore, I’m sharing this Choosey Chicks links to encourage you not to buy any of their products. They promote some positive ideas – choose peace, choose change, choose strength – but they are only out for profit. As far as I can see, they aren’t attempting to make any changes, at least not for the environment.
But, I’d like to end on a happy note, so I recommend you go here to learn more about Peace Sounds, a beautiful album that will soothe you and provide a donation to Thich Nhat Hanh’s current tour.
Namaste.
As a co-founder of Choosey Chicks, I’d like to give you a little background on our company. We are a lifestyle company promoting the power of positive choice for women of all ages. While we started out printing positive messages on tee shirts, our strength is our message and our designs. Choose to be Green is an original design in which we printed on an organic tee. Since entering into licensing agreements with various companies, all promoting our same positive messages, they have chosen the designs and messages to print on their products to sell to their target markets. While I certainly understand your confusion, we are selling our message and regardless, Choose to be Green, is still a positive message. I will, however, send this to my paper company in hopes that they will consider using recyclable paper if they choose to print this message again.
On another note, we would love to send you a Choosey Chicks, Choose to be Green, organic tee shirt. Please contact me at saracook1@aol.com with your mailing address. This tee shirt has been a best seller and I think you will be proud to wear it.
BE CHOOSEY,
Sara Cook
