Hello, WE!
First, thank you for the fantastic job you’re doing for the environment! It’s about time somebody stood up for Our Blessed Mother Earth.
Though I am truly excited to be a part of this campaign, I do have to take issue with your t-shirt store. Though I do not believe the WE staff are intrinsically misogynistic, as a male feminist, I view the portrayal of the female in a “pure,” “soft” white shirt and the male in a “strong” black shirt as symptomatic of a testosterone-dominated society. To be sure, this sort of symbolism is so rampant and ingrained that it’s become almost unnoticeable — and it’s certainly the norm — but, along with protecting the environment, don’t “WE” also have the opportunity to begin to change the askew, male-dominated social outlook?

Dear WE,
It fills me with great joy to see so many people working to help the environment and solve the crisis of global warming! I visit the site every day, and I’ve even shown it to some of my friends so they can understand how important it is for all of us to act before it is too late for our dear Mother Earth.
That being said, however, I was concerned about some of the language used on the site, in particular the phrase, “stand up for solutions to global warming” under the heading of Personal Choices. Now, I totally understand that this is a commonly used phrase, but it makes me think of all those unfortunate souls in our world who are unable to stand or walk because they are confined to a wheelchair. My own sister was involved in a tragic accident many years ago while she was riding her horse, Starshine, and she was paralyzed from the waiste down. Every time someone mentions “standing up” for a cause, I can’t help but feel hurt and offended by these words, and I’m sure that others out there feel the same. If you could please change the phrase to something more inclusive so that people who cannot stand do not feel like they are unable to assist in the effort to save Mother Earth, we would very much appreciate it.

  1. Dear WE,
    I’m a “green conservative.” Against the advice of my conservationally brain-dead friends, I came to your web site hoping to find energy tips on how to convert my home and car to renewable energy sources. Alas, I can’t find anything of value there! But your site is very pretty and looks like it was designed by aging flower children of my generation. So, could you recommend a good site on how to convert chicken shit and compost to alcohol? I need a fuel I can burn in my home (a double-wide) AND car (Ok, a pickup truck). All I have is chicken shit, human septic and compost heaps for source material.
    Sincerely yours,
    James B. Moulding
