Dear Friends, Family and supporters,                             Aug 25, 2008

Good news:  I am finally moving into a small retail space!

And...I need your help.

As many of you know, I have spent the last 2 years putting together a sustainably-minded retail store.  My vision grew from a conviction of faith and a disillusionment of the larger, negative human and health practices I was involved in by making my everyday, mundane purchases. 

The more I was able to learn about the toxic ripple effects of my average American living, the more I sought alternatives...and initially came up short.

Shimmering in the darkness though, were teachers, small companies, and kind individuals concerned with doing the Right thing.

I have sought to put together a store for concerned individuals that makes intelligent and thoughtful purchasing EASY and not completely overpriced.  I also want to educate people about the environment and making wise choices. 

AND NOW...

I am at a point of moving into a small retail space here in Greensboro, NC.

Would you be able to contribute even just $10 or $20 to help get us up and running with an increase in inventory?  Contributions of $100 or more will land you a free Eco Everyday tote bag.   

Will you help?

Donations also received at:  208 State Street, Greensboro, NC 27408

Love,

Betsy Blake
