julie danielowski of byron has won the “green is the new pink” t-shirt contest.
it’ll be a while before i get a photo with her: i have to mail her the shirt.
congrats, julie, and thanks to all the greenies who entered. hope some of you new readers are coming back, since the contest bumped my page views at least 300 or 400 more in august.

i’ve received two dozen entries to win the “green is the new pink” t-shirt, with some excellent comments below. you can enter through wednesday. p.s. the cubs blog copied my idea.
Teresa K. Tomblinson: “I would love to win the go green pink t-shirt. Being a breast cancer survivor and a gardener, the go green/pink t-shirt is just perfect!”
Martha Krebeck: “If we all went green, even by 10%, imagine how much better off we would be. My husband and I have been recycling for over 25 years together.”
Nan Lindsay: “Your favorite color is orange. One of two Harlem Huskie colors.”

i didn’t wear this t-shirt for the photo shoot: wasn’t as colorful as pink. and plus, i REALLY wanted to keep it.
it’s by one of my favorite apparel makers, life is good. it says “green is good,” and it’s made from organic cotton, in the good karma collection. it’s super soft, even after a dozen washes. worth the 30 bucks.
the shirt is not available on the life is good site anymore, but i found it at cabela’s.
don’t forget to enter my contest (see entry below!). i’ve had 10 entries so far.

a few months ago, i bought this t-shirt, size M, from cafepress.com, because i needed to wear something for the photos to go with my rockford woman story about “living without plastic” for a week. or at least not buying it in its most noticeable forms.
i washed it and hung it in my closet, waiting to give it away. and now the day has finally come!
i’m giving away this “green is the new pink” shirt by drawing names at random.
how can you win?
send me an e-mail with your name, address and daytime phone number for verification, to jpollock@rockfordwoman.com.
and you need to prove that you read this blog by telling me what my favorite color is: orange.
please enter only once. i’ll take entries until wednesday, sept. 3. if you win, i’ll probably want to take your picture with the shirt on.
to see all the stuff i’ve written about plastic, click on “living without plastic” on the right side of the blog.
good luck, go greenies, and spread the word!
