if this isn't sustainability...

i have blogged about sheena and the uniform project before. and i have continued to click on that site EVERY SINGLE DAY since i found her. this is one of the most amazing stories of sustainability i have ever come across and been inspired by. sheena has committed to wear the same dress every day for one year. that is putting on the same little black dress for 365 days in a row, whether she feels like it or not. but she is one committed gal. "why is she doing this?" you may ask. well she is doing it for a cause. she wants to help those less fortunate than she is. if you really want to read the reasons why go to her page and read it. she does a much better job than i do of explaining it. if you are able then donate to her cause as much as you can, even if it's a little. also there are ONLY 9 more days to vote for sheena and the dress's designer eliza starbuck at the NAU website. this organization is going to give $10,000 to the person/group/charity that gets the most votes and that much money would go a long way in reaching sheena's vision. so go and vote for this project. donate if you can. and spread the word!

***sustainable saturday***

how long would the longest scarf in the world be? well there is an organization that is trying to find out. keep the fleece is hosting a fundraiser for http://www.heifer.org/. teams sign up to knit/crochet/weave sections of scarf and raise money at the same time. the scarves must be made from natural fibers and team sign up to donate a dollar a row. i would like to do this but my area is financially tapped out... i'm still thinking bout it tho. the money goes towards buying animals that can provide fleese, milk, etc for farmers in undeveloped countries. check it out and see what you think. i think it's a great sustainable cause.

p.s. the scarf picture was found here
