AussiBum Goes Au Naturel!
Thought bananas were only good for a delicious source of potassium? Think again!
AussieBum’s new line of underwear could induce a number of bad banana-related jokes, but we’ll stick to the basics: the men’s fashion company from the “Land Down Under-wear” (okay, I couldn’t resist), recently released a line of underwear made with real banana fiber. The eco-friendly undies are 27% sustainable banana fiber, 64% organic cotton, and 9% lycra.
Why only 27% banana? According to Lloyd Jones, the company spokesperson, “Naturally, you can’t really add anymore banana fiber than that because it might be a bit squishy.” Well, in that case 27% sounds like just the right amount.
Congratulations to AussiBum on their new socially conscious initiative!

Volunteer with GROW!
Volunteer opportunities through GROW are tied with Project Amigo, a non-profit partner in the state of Colima, Mexico, that works throughout the year to provide educational, dental and vision support to the poor in this beautiful area. Work weeks are scheduled throughout the winter. Each work day volunteers choose between several work crews doing a variety of jobs ranging from heavy to light, for all levels of ability. Work may include heavy construction, plumbing or electrical repairs to children’s facilities, painting walls or murals, art projects or reading with children, giving haircuts, or simply playing with children who need some extra hugs.
