Sweatshop Free…
But we’re still sweating! Why? Because it’s eighty-five degrees today and we’re hoping to bust out of the office and head down to the beach. Yesterday, we took time off to head to Venice for one of Shiva Rea’s yoga classes and we got inspired. Busting out in a spontaneous Yoga Trance Dance, we were reminded that in this time of economic turmoil we still have the ability to move our bodies and feel the beat of the Earth. Sure, our portfolios may plummet and our cars may be silenced with the rise of gas prices, but what better way to bring a smile to our faces than jumping around and dancing with fifty other sweat dripping yogis? So, while our clothes are sweatshop free and made right here in Los Angeles, we believe that term goes way beyond the factory and starts at home. What’s the point of supporting sweatshop free companies if you’re working seventy hour weeks in miserable conditions just to pay for that product? Take a moment to step back and look at the bigger picture. If you’re an employer, I ask you… How are your employees feeling today? Are they scared? Crank up the iTunes and let them dance wild in their cubicles. If you’re a diligent worker, do you feel paralyzed by the possibility that your job may be gone tomorrow? Run off to the beach or the woods, connect with nature and remember that there’s more to life than work. Remember that you have family and friends and Mother Nature to comfort you when you’re down. Whatever the case, remember, sweatshop free starts with you!
