On Wednesday of last week, John challenged me to get busy designing and selling EnvEcon merchandise. As my usual way of getting in trouble, I took up John's challenge and started Environmental Economics The Store. Thinking I was smart, I launched the store the day before the biggest shopping weekend of the year. Unfortunately, I forgot that holiday weekends are the slowest blog visitation days of the year too. So our grand opening announcement went unseen by many of our regular and faithful readers...there's a reason I'm not in sales. So here's the announcement again...now buy something dammit.
We're going commercial and trying to take advantage of your blatant consumerism. We're selling original env-econ merchandise (hats, t-shirts, mugs, stickers). Check it out here. My favorite is the Drive Less! trucker hat.
Start your holiday shopping early. All proceeds go to pay our typepad bills first and if there's enough left, we might offset some carbon--or partake in our own form of consumerism.
If you have suggestions for other products, let us know--this is a work in progress.
