I concur, to a point. I honestly believe that since so many unrelated Awarenesses are lumped together under one ribbon, the ribbon loses the meaning and interest it was supposed to originally support.
I mean, seriously, over TWENTY Awarenesses under purple alone? If they were all auto-immune related, I could understand it. But, how do animal cruelty and domestic violence relate? They don't. Neither do Worker's Memorial Day and Orca Whale Awareness (WTF?). I feel that by designating so many things under one colour (of which purple has the most listings at 23!!), it diminishes the efficacy of what Awareness Ribbons were supposed to be all about.

I would like to try something, but I need all Treehouse Members to participate.
I would like to compile a list of each person's ribbon, which I will put next to your name on the Birthday post. (Speaking of which, you guys need to PM me your birthdays so that I can add you to the list ^_^ Please don't just post it here as I may not see it.)

If you don't like your ribbon, show us what you think YOUR ribbon should look like *nod* Draw and colour it, do it in a PS or Paint program, save the image to a host, and post your ribbon design in the post with an image of your current, "official", ribbon.

Please use this form so that I see your post:
