- The campaign calls for more transparency and accountability by companies that take part in breast cancer fundraising, and encourages consumers to ask critical questions about pink ribbon promotions.
Think Before You Pink also highlights "pinkwashers"--companies that purport to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribbon campaign, but manufacture products that are linked to the disease.
To sign a petition asking Yoplait to remove rGBH, a cancer causing synthetic hormone, from their yogourts. Especially in light of their pink ribbon campaign.

- From the page: "Fire by Judy Sorum Brown
What makes a fire burn
is space between the logs,
a breathing space.
Too much of a good thing,
too many logs
packed in too tight
can douse the flames
almost as surely
as a pail of water would.
So building fires
requires attention
to the spaces in between,
as much as to the wood.
When we are able to build
open spaces
in the same way
we have learned
to pile on the logs,
then we can come to see how
it is fuel, and absence of the fuel
together, that make fire possible.
We only need to lay a log
lightly from time to time.
A fire
grows
simply because the space is there,
with openings
in which the flame
that knows just how it wants to burn
can find its way."

 Once again Elona brings an important issue in education to light with a simple statement:
"We need to stop setting kids up for failure by pretending that they can do anything given the right amount of support at school."
