So thankful for the giveaway. I cant wait to plan a trip to whole foods now.
Whitney, loving your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share such great info with all of us. From a technical aspect here’s a little something you might consider… when you’re sitting next to such a great light source as the window in this video, try sitting slightly turned toward it rather than slightly more with you back to it. This will allow more of that beautiful, natural light to light up your beautiful face and especially fill in your eye sockets so they aren’t darker as in this video. In doing so, you’d be more on the left side of the screen, in this specific video and the lamp behind you just might provide some nice hair highlights as well. For different shooting locations perhaps a little diffused direct light coming from just above the camera would work nicely. Think inexpensive workshop light from home improvement store with a daylight bulb and a thin, white material stretched over the front to diffuse the light and make it softer. Secondly, if you don’t have something intentionally displayed on your computer screen consider draping your Eco-Vegan Gal shirt over it so it’s a little more visible. Finally, if you’re not interacting with it, try pushing your keyboard tray in and outta sight. Found it a bit distracting but I’m just nit picking little details that might help make your videos just a little bit better when they are already great. Keep up the great work and thanks again for all you do for all of us.

I have done all the steps!! Organic clothing is important because I feel comfortable knowing that my clothing is not harming me or anyone else just simply by how it is made. It also feels incredible on my skin!!
TX a lot for taking the time to discuss this, I conceive powerfully it and like learning more on this issue. If realistic, as you reach expertise, would you mind updating your intercommunicate with fewer message? It is exceedingly useful 4 me.
We love greens in my house, especially fresh romaine, spinach and kale. My toddler daughter even shared her recipe to get more kids to eat them on our website: http://rawdorable.blogspot.com/2011/09/i-like-lettuce.html
We also use that almond milk trick in a pinch. But, when we make it with whole almonds, we save the pulp to make raw vegan cupcakes or just to play with at the kitchen table like indoor sand.
Great giveaway. I'd enter, but sadly, I'm not on FB. Good luck to whoever wins.
BTW, YouTube wouldn't let me post my comment on your video for some reason. Weird.
I completed the following, tweeting, and commenting and subscribing! :D
Wearing organic clothes is new to me, but it is becoming more important for me to wear eco-friendly clothes. I was so proud to buy my first hand-made organic shirt, and I am excited to get many more in the future.

Great giveaway! I completed everything except the extra credit!
Organic clothing is important to me because I don't want to put any chemicals on my body and cotton is one of the most sprayed crops. Since the skin in the largest organ, I don't want chemicals going into my blood stream!
Left a comment on bgreen's FB site...already like you!
Oops...wearing organic clothing is important to me because I know that being fashionable doesn't have to hurt our world and those things that live here with us...and through wearing such fabulous clothing I am spreading the word!
Awesome giveaway! I did all the steps.
Anyway, I think organic clothing is so important simply because the apparel industry is enormous, and we all wear clothes every day. The impact that is made when you choose to support organic, ethically operated companies is huge! The more we do this the more options/styles will be available to us. I work in a clothing boutique and it is amazing how little there is available right now when compared to the options we have for organic/alternative food. I love fashion, but I also want to be good to animals, the environment, and to the people who make the clothes. Anytime I can I will choose to buy organic clothes made in america (so I know workers were compensated fairly and have a decent work environment), and the more we all do this the greater the impact on our world.
Message me on youtube: onlyonedor is my sn :)
Organic clothing is important because people made my clothes. They worked in the fields where the cotton grew and handled the fabric. I don't want them going home coated in pesticides, breathing it in, having it absorbed through their skin. I want all workers to be healthy, so I have to support a healthy workplace for them--and that starts with an organic one!
I've been following your links since Vida Vegan Con and enjoying it a lot! I've now done all the steps on your site to enter the contest for the FREE organic clothing - thanks for all your info and sweet enthusiasm! :)
Hey Whitney! I completed the first 3 steps for the contest. My twitter name is @dustinjoelxvx / Facebook is /dustinklimek!
I'm trying to wear more organic clothing because I've realized that Earth Liberation is equally important as Animal Liberation!
PS. The Tias chips are great!
All steps done. Love your posts and what you do to create awareness about ecology and Veganism. Tried to connect on Facebook, but I understand you prefer your readers/viewers to connect with your public pages. Take care!
Hi Whitney, I recently discovered your videos and I just love you!! I'm a proud vegan and honestly I haven't thought much about wearing organic clothing but after doing some reading about it I think it's important and I'm going to have to purchase some, if I don't win this contest :) I did complete all the steps. Thanks!
Another great weekly round-up and what a great giveaway! You are always so informative, genuine, and fun. Your site and your YouTube channel have become staple resources in my vegan lifestyle. Thank you for the time and enthusiasm that you put into everything that you do!
