Go buy something from LUSH to say "Bravo"!

I don't really care for cosmetics (for myself or on others) but I will be buying SOMETHING from Lush this week, just to say "Bravo".  Thank you for speaking up and taking a strong, clear stance against Enbridge's Northern Gateway Pipeline and the ethical oil farce, specially at a time when many others seem to stay spinelessly silent.  (I'm looking at you, BC Premier Christy Clark - at this point ANY opinion you express will be respected more than your nauseating spinelessness). 


Citizenship is about having a voice and getting it heard.  Corporations should not start talking about "corporate citizenship" if they are not willing to take a position, express their views and be vocal -- like good citizens -- instead of hiding behind the lame cover of keeping politics out of business.  Politics and business are joined together at the hip these days so stop pretending -- and start speaking out.  


Two ways we can support LUSH: 

1. Go buy something from LUSH, if not for yourself then a gift for a friend.  Make sure you educate the friend about Enbridge's Northern Gateway Pipeline disaster and encourage all your social networks to do the same. Let's make sure that other corporations take note that speaking out on a political issue did not hurt LUSH and in fact was "good business" for them as well. Give them a noticeable bump in their revenue!
2. Ask other corporate citizens to follow the LUSH example, and earn brownie points with their fans by demonstrating responsible corporate citizenship.  Names that come immediately to mind: Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC), The Big Carrot, Moksha Yoga, LuluLemon, Bixi Bikes.
