Pinkwashing?

Okay...this just caught my attention, so I had to share.

Greenwashing is so yesterday...

In light the local "Pink Up P.A." campaign, it seems useful to keep some of this article's suggestions in mind.

Plus, the article refers to an interesting book club read: Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry by Stacy Malkan. Check out the book's original blog website; it houses a wealth of disturbing research about several top names in beauty! Yikes! I'm glad I kicked that habit this year! Maybe this will convince a few more to do the same.

I just started hearing this "Pink Up" phrase. What does it mean?

It's this year's campaign slogan for breast cancer awareness week.
