For every "I'm Tired Of" $10 bracelet sold, we donate $5 (that’s half) to important causes. You pick the cause and your bracelet (made from tire rubber) and the donation will automatically be made on your behalf.
310-314-3660Although the concept is great (using recycled materials) the idea of wearing such a negative phrase repels me. Why couldn't it be something positive on the bracelet - even the much used Peace, which I would have bought at least 5 of? We don't need to be tired anymore - tired of is the last 8 years - we need to look forward with positive actions and thoughts to the future - so why not phrases like,
Enjoy health, Think Peace, Be Creative, - this is just a quick off the cuff (no pun intended) phraseology idea - but I really think we need more positive phrases. Heck, why not just put "I voted for Obama" or "I voted for Hope"...... because I did.

The bracelets are cute, and are a nice thought if you simply must hand someone a tangible gift.
Because I don't need more stuff, I would prefer someone donating the entire $10 in my name to one of the worthy causes.

Charitable ecopreneurs and siblings Dan Hoffman and Carrie Pollare are the founders of "What Are You Tired Of". Their "What are you tired of?" bracelets, designed by renown jeweler Joseph Bortolli, are made from the recycled rubber of tires. Dan and Carrie are raising funds for a myriad of causes, as donors select one or more causes and purchase a bracelet with the name of each cause embossed on a bracelet. Buy one, buy many!

I like your positive attitude Myra, but I don't think you're getting it. There's a double entendre because they're made from recycled "tires" & it says "I'm Tired of..." more »

Oh then why not I'm tired of the Republicans. I'm tired of Bush - but that's already been said hasn't it? We voted. I love puns - but I missed that one...thanks for letting me know. more »
