Eat Local Challenge, Day 2

Today was a travel day, and sadly, I ate nothing local. Instead, I'll share a link to a great t-shirt I received for my birthday. It's from Patagonia, a company known for its commitment to environmental activism and responsibility, and that started using organic cotton before it became fashionably hip. At $35 it sets you back more than most "simple living" budgets can afford (that's why I asked for it as a gift!), but it is long sleeved and is made of incredibly soft lightweight organic cotton. Incidentally the web site provides a carbon footprint for this product. I'm not sure how valuable a consumer tool that really is, but it is interesting and certainly makes you think.
