About Me

A rededicated friend of the environment inspired by Al Gore to learn how to change my personal lifestyle to lessen my impact on the earth. I'm learning more every day and hoping to inspire others to do more in their own lives.I'm also the creator of the Goreganic(TM) t-shirts at Goreganic.com The Goreganic t-shirt line consists of 100% organic cotton, non-toxic dyes, labor friendly practices, and powered by renewable energy. A portion of the proceeds will be used to purchase carbon offsets. Click here to order Goreganic t-shirts and hats today.

Did you know that it takes more than 1/3 lb of pesticides and insecticides to make just one conventional cotton t-shirt? And more than 90% of those chemicals are absorbed into the air, soil, and water. All told, conventional cotton uses more than 25% of all pesticides and 10% of all insecticides created in the world each year.
