Words of Wisdom from Jane of the Jungle

Jane Goodall is a heroine if there ever was one; a woman whom went out on a limb (pun intended) to hang (another intended one) with the chimps way back when the glass ceiling really was low.  She exposed us to a life led fearlessly.

I was very fortunate to hear her speak long ago as a child and remember being in awe of her calm fortitude even though I was so young the content didn't really resonate.

A quote from a recent interview Rachel Sarnoff of Mommy Greenest and EcoStiletto.com fame conducted w/ Ms. Goodall:

"I met so many young people as I traveled who seemed not to have hope for the future. They were depressed, angry and apathetic. “Roots & Shoots” [encourages participants to understand that ] every single one of us makes a difference every single day. We can’t live through a day without making an impact. And we all have a choice."

What do you chose to make an impact about today?

Saving Animals 8 Shirts at a time!

Well, ok, so it's not literally saving animals in the physical sense, BUT... we DO donate to the World Wildlife Fund - so, yeah, a T Scarf does contribute!  I know the hard-cores out there don't like the WWF because they (WWF) doesn't condemn all animal killing.  I think it's perfectly lovely that this organization does what it can to work with governments to try to alleviate suffering and potential extinction of local species.  They may be moderate, but we have to start somewhere.  More radical activism can come along down the pike to reinforce the ground work laid by the WWF.

OK.  Breathe in.  Step away from soap box and noone will get hurt...
Here's the latest, greatest scarf in honor of my joining the venerable EtsyVeg team!!!!  Go EtsyVeg!

 Eight shirts were used and this time I was able to use both a front and back for two of them: the groovy "I'm a Wild Thing... and I need Katy Prarie (www.katyprarie.org)" Southern Leopard Frog shirt and the "Take a Walk on the Wild Side - Zoobilee" shirt shown in the collages below.

 Check the cool anatomy of a Bee shirt!  It's from a library Spelling Bee;-)  I can't define, let alone spell those words!

Thanks for looking.  I look forward to a Veggie fabulous future with EtsyVeg.  Check out the rest of the team shops from around the globe; we've even got mineral cosmetics, lots of great jewelry and FOOD!!!
