last weekend while driving up to DC i got stuck in some traffic. in typical fashion i got frustrated and impatient, until i saw this car in the lane next to me.
that is a lot of awareness on one car (and don't be fooled- that dark spot in the middle of the car where they could have fit one more... it's actually a dark ribbon)
it got me thinking about all the awareness ribbons out there, so i wanted to see how many types there are. wikipedia (the keeper of all knowledge) lists 26 different ribbons, with some having as many as 24 causes associated with them. (and many of the ribbons on this car weren't even listed). the blue ribbon can stand for awareness of child abuse, colon cancer, Canada's anti-tobacco, anti-second hand smoke campaign, or international no diet day (among other things). how do you know if someone with a green ribbon is promoting awareness for lyme disease or pedestrian safety? there's just no way to tell.

I always notice the different ribbons, but had no idea how many causes are supported! How do i get one promoting pedestrian safety??
