Bike to Win!

If you are participating in this year's bike to work week in Victoria you have the chance of winning an Icebreaker Merino Wool Prize Pack from Ecoeverything! The prize includes an Icebreaker women's cami (great for layering while biking to work), 2 pairs of bike/run socks, and a couple of bars of soap to keep you smelling nice and pretty. Mind you - if you are wearing merino wool to ride in, the fabric does the trick of not holding any odor, making it a number one choice for many local commuters who choose to cycle into town daily. Merino wool is naturally antibacterial, doesn't itch you like traditional wool AND is warm when it is wet.....so maybe think again before putting that synthetic riding shirt on - you may want to swap it for an Icebreaker!

Bike to work week this year in Victoria is being held from May 31- June 4, 2010. This is a change from previous years, as this way the Victoria event will coincide with the events across British Columbia. For more information check out www.biketowork.ca

Jingle Jingle Jingle

Christmas in February! Well - not really, but we thought we would share this festive photo with you. The above is a picture from the Westerly of two of our great staff members at Ecoeverything Tofino at Tofino's annual Jingle Into Christmas Sale this past December. Every year on American Thanksgiving weekend, the shops of Tofino stay open late and offer the locals (and visiting tourists) sales, promotions, treats and more. It is one of the funnest days of the year! This is a belated thank you to our wonderful staff for the work that went into the 2009 Jingle Sale!

Spring Leggings

If you are like us, then you have probably been wearing your basic black leggings throughout the fall and winter as your 'go-to' piece underneath your skirts, tunics and dresses. Well - how about switching it up for Spring? Salts Organic Clothing offers you the chance to do just that with their viscose bamboo/organic cotton 'Lovely Legging' in their beautiful off-white colour. Perfect to lighten up your legs for the coming Spring and Summer weather! The leggings are a Canadian made and designed item, and are available at Ecoeverything for just $34.

Together We Can

We are excited about this new arrival from Me to We. The 'Together We Can' shirt has just arrived in our stores and is available for both men and women. The fit is fantastic, the organic cotton material is super soft, but most of all its the message that is important. Together we can....like the phrase me to we, is about empowering people to work together to achieve great things in this world! Here is a message from the shirt designer that explains...

As most stories go, I have been told time and time again that change is not possible. That things are the way they are. Yes there are many issues in this world, -- poverty, HIV/AIDS, homelessness, natural disasters, child labour, etc. But there is also hope. In history, after much determination and work, people have changed the way things are.

Words representing the negativity facing humanity today is illustrated in this design. Those words are scattered across the map of the world. Juxtaposed to that, however, are words of hope "together we can", a phrase I use often and one that truly represents the me to we philosophy. If we all worked together to better this world, we could achieve great things. This is my t-shirt of hope!
