the awareness ribbon as we know it today rose to popularity in 1991, with the red AIDs ribbon. rising so quickly in popularity, 1992 was declared by the nytimes as the 'year of the red ribbon'.
since then, it seems that the amount of causes using ribbons to increase support and awareness has grown at an amazing rate.
fascinating though, that there is a light brown 'awareness ribbon' to end chain email, no? coincidentally, if you don't forward this blog post to 10 people in the next 10 minutes......
I thought brown ribbons were supposed to create awareness for IBS sufferers....
