The one (and only) where I try to sell you things. THINGS THAT MIGHT KEEP YOU HEALTHY. You’re welcome.
Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 1:57AM Anybody remember how a little while ago I mentioned I was considering becoming a rep for a company called OnlyGreen? No? It’s okay, I assume that I’m talking to myself most of the time.
But anyway, I went ahead and did just that, became an "Eco Advisor" for OnlyGreen. Anybody who knows me realizes that this kind of thing is, well, not really my thing. I mean, it involves sales. And talking passionately about stuff. Stuff that is not the Zombie Apocalypse.
(Seriously, you guys really need to start fortifying and stockpiling.)
But, I like the concept of OnlyGreen because there is a lot of scary information out there, about pthalates and parabens and PVCs and what they can do to us (and the planet, though personally I think that once we poison ourselves and all die from cancer that the planet will be fine). And I totally understand why a person would choose to NOT try to wade through that constantly-shifting information, and instead assume that the FDA knows what they're doing and Big Pharma truly does have our best interests in mind and lalalalalalalala I can't heeeeaaaaaaar you.
Because otherwise you end up whimpering and rocking in a corner, unable to bathe or eat or wear anything other than a burlap sack.
What was my point?
Oh, right. OnlyGreen just does all the research FOR you. All their products are subject to stringent criteria for eco-friendliness and sustainable harvesting and lack of the kind of chemicals that might grow you an extra liver or make your face fall off. It makes it easy to choose products that are truly "green", instead of just labelled that way. And as we all know...every little bit helps.
So that is all I'm going to say about THAT, because shilling wares is not what this blog is about (I don't know what it IS about, still, but it's not that)(Also, that's what TWITTER is for, mwahhahhahah). I'll put up a permanent link up top (once I figure out how to do that without breaking my blog) and then shut the fuck up. If there's enough interest, periodically I might hold an "Eco Workshop" where I give you little factoids about the amount of endocrine-altering chemicals your PVC dildo is offgassing, or how everytime you buy a Proctor & Gamble product they kill a kitten*, and then I might offer you some discounts. But if there's little to no interest, I'll happily go back to just being your RTT bitch.
*Totally facetious. I'm pretty sure P&G lets them grow up to be cats first.**
**Again, facetious. Please don't sue me.

Oh God, are you going to get all noble on us?
And I remember when green was just a color, not a cause. Good luck!
I'm actually interested.
*gasp*
So, what you're saying is that is actually IS easy being green?
Their stuff looks interesting. And the thing I'm interested in is pretty inexpensive.
Ha!! You have me speechless!! Ummmmmmm! I don't know what to say!! Except...good for you! You go girl and get all green and inform us too. That would be cool. I don't mind listening.

Oooo, I am interested. It's about Kermit and the Muppets, right?
Seriously, good on you. I will be interested in hearing more. Which I am sure SHOCKS you given that I am a real-fangled environmentalist. Who is also lazy, so needs kicks in the ass like this.
Do you get a name tag and everything?
TOTALLY just curious….. but why is it easier to assume *this* company will do 'proper' research, and is only looking out for our general health, and will tell us the truth for SURE? They have the identical vested interest as Big Pharma, P&G, etc. - in that they will make money by scarring us all shitless so we’ll buy their products.
Share the good, green news with us. I's rather here it from you than others.....
i am actually interested as well!
<--- interested
Congrats? I think? I hope it all works out the way you want it to. Just don't quit blogging on us!
I'm usually turned off by anybody selling anything. Even if it is useful and practically free. It usually strikes me like the religious people who come to your door to convert you and offer you a makeover at the same time. But, believe it or not, I'm actually seriously interested in the products you are talking about. Because they really do sound good. And I'm interested in watching my children grow up without them growing extra arms and tails and so forth. So please ... keep talking. ANd I'm going to check out their site right now.
wait- i AM interested, and i dont see a link. poo.
wait. nm, ifound it. .i'm a dumbass. sorry. :)
I TOTALLY thought I was already stalking you on Twitter but I wasn't but I am now :) And there have been kittens showing up here the last few days...first one, then two, now there are three..I have no idea where they came from and have no idea what my point is but I thought I'd tell ya anyway :)
Look at you, using your powers for good instead of evil. I like it.
Although, I'm pretty sure by not selling stuff, you could pretty much sell the shit out of anything. You are a little awesome that way. ;)
