As a matter of fact, I think it's actually improved my cooking, and my clothes are a lot cleaner; so thanks, and keep up the good work!

Having said that, I also believe that since we all have to do something to support ourselves, why not make it something that you feel will create positive change in the world? Even if the aprons were being sold for profit, I don't see anything wrong with that. However I completely agree with what MCR said and I'm also concerned: "I don’t have a problem with this, as long as you need an apron, you may as well support a good cause, but I do hope this is made with organic cotton or hemp. Would also like to know what the stickers are made of." -MCR I realise that this is a non-for-profit site.

I don't think selling stuff on your site makes you a “capitalist” if you do it in order to keep the site up and running. To me a Capitalist is someone or a corporation that's out to make a profit, and does so even if it exploits others in some way.

And "trashing the earth"? Let's get a grip on reality, here. It's easy to nitpick and shake fingers, it's much harder to actually make positive contributions that help bring about change. I'll reiterate my request that if you, or anyone, have feasible suggestions of ways to cover basic operating costs without selling anything, please let me know. Until then: This will be the last response I post to negative comments in this thread. If you feel it is appropriate to issue condemnations of me or this site, and the production of 100 silly aprons, go right ahead. However, this is an all-volunteer project, and we feel there are more pressing tasks at hand. Best, Will Potter Chloe: I have no idea how the people who made these aprons commute to their job.

How are you shipping these goods to people? Are these items made in factories that pollute the environment and employ underpaid workers who commute to their job in a car? Do you use gas to ship them to a secondary location? How are they being shipped to the customers? Are they being wrapped in plastic? Is your entire website promoting green living while trashing the earth? It’s not about the ideological ramifications of selling items for a profit. How are you shipping these goods to people?

Since selling stuff on this site apparently makes me a "capitalist," I'll live up to the rep by encouraging everyone to check out your store, <a href="http://www.herbivoreclothing.com" rel="nofollow">Herbivore</a>, and CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME.
