I am told only some of their undies are organic, with a partially organic line made of bamboo. More products are in the works.

Pretty gutsy for a sixty year old fart, eh!

She showed me a cataloge. Here is the website:

They do have organic cotton but they go on and on with all the “right” buzz words, “…all made with 90% organic cotton that’s completely free of synthetic chemicals, so it makes a difference for your health and the planet’s.” Blah blah.

As near as I can tell thegoods still travel thousands of miles to get to our shore :-(

I need a new pair. I ‘ve been looking at the thrift shop for a 2nd hand pair, no luck. I can’t bring myself to buy new jeans that have been made by unfair labor, and I can’t find an ethical source.

Instead of going out and buying (wasteful) “to” and “from” gift tags, I cut up the old cards. I get the holiday-perfect *s* trees, Santas, snowflakes or what-have-you from the card… or I cut out the legends inside– “a peaceful holiday to you”– and punch a hole in it. I also have not bought wrapping paper for years. I used brown paper bags… but I go to town on ribbons! I make my own big plaid bows out of red/green or blue/silver, tie on my funky last-year’s-greeting-cards tags and I get compliments on all my packages. The brown paper bag wrap can also be painted or stamped with stars or snowflakes.

I also buy cotton cloth with Christmas patterns and sew drawstring bags, using ribbons for the ties with little bells on them. I wrap small gifts in white or unbleached tissue paper (hard to find it unbleached though) and stuff them in these little bags. I meant for people to re-use them but they keep thim and hang them on their trees.

Another source for cotton clothes and (thong) undies is http://www.dharmatrading.com They sell “blanks” or white/unbleached items that you can dye or paint to do-it-yourself. Read their “About Us”… they use lots of recycled content and support hand-weavers and such in other countries.
