imtiredofcoal Fashionable Activism and Fundraising: Im Tired of CoalTell the world how you feel about our dirty coal addiction by wearing your message right on your arm: I’m Tired of Coal.

You’ll be raising money for the Rainforest Action Network at the same time, because I’m Tired of is donating 50% of each sale to the nonprofit for its continued mission of environmental protection.

The company makes the bracelets from recycled tires, and uses recycled metal in the beads. A whole range of things that we’re all tired (world hunger, cancer, global warming, etc.) are available as bracelets, and half of the $10 price of each is donated to charities that you help to choose.

Here’s the link to grab an I’m Tired of Coal bracelet.

Sounds like a win-win: Recycled materials, raising cash for non-profits, and helping people spread the word about the issues they care about.

We could use a lot more businesses like this.

I dig singlespeed bicycles, simple living, organic gardening, sustainable lifestyle design, slacklining, bouldering, and baking with sourdough. I love good food; Colorado peaches are my all-time favorite. I really enjoy conversations with three year olds. I love being in the wilderness with my family; it feels like home. I love positive thinking and big audacious dreams. I like to skip rope, and yes, I do have a tiny rubber chicken (vegan) that lives with my flash drive. Come see me over at Natural Papa!

    These kind of remind me of the “LiveStrong” bracelets. But cooler, of course. Plus, with the up-and-rising generations, saying what means a lot to you on your person is a style.
