Yes, you read those words right. We are considering launching an online store. Though we don’t expect to get rich going this route, we like the idea for several reasons:
- It may help us defray some of the monthly costs we incur;
- It may help us raise money for donation to needy TCE exposed-communities;
- It could give community groups a vehicle to raise money/promote themselves (we can sell VOTE T-shirts or THE STAND mugs or other items on behalf of specific communities that may so desire);
- Where else can we buy a “Stop vapor intrusion” T-shirt or a “TCE kills, thank god it’s no longer in my coffee” mug?
- It should allow us to creep one-step closer to our new goal of ditching our day job(s) to enable full-time blogging about TCE issues and more active lobbying for action and change.
So here’s the burning question: If we sell T-shirts, mugs, and other items bearing a graphic and/or message, what should they say? We have several ideas, but we’d love reader input. Put another way, what would you or others be likely to purchase if made available in our store?
Please reply using comments…or contact us directly if you prefer. Thanks.
P.S. If any community group leaders like the idea of selling merchandise through our store to raise money, please contact us…
