Why? For awareness! Sandman got one for me so I got a blue one from them and a Green one from Canada's awareness program ;) Woot I love all things to promote awareness!
-
I meant, why are they blue when everyone else uses green.

Oh really? I thought the reason was that the colour was BLUE in the United States. I thought Green was just for Canada and maybe the UK. Guess I should not have assumed :P

Green is organ donation. Here is a link:

Yeah I always thought green was for kidney disease, kidney transplant and
for organ donation. But the FREE Davita awareness bracelets are blue (and
they say "Kidney Health" on the side) -

So it must be DaVita colours eh? Well gee, why is everything of theirs blue? They think they're number one that their kidney donation bracelets should be blue too? Shouldn't it be green to promote organ donation and signing of the organ donor card??
-
Yeah, but they are about kidney awareness, not donors. So blue is cool to them!

The Green ones in Ontario say Live2Share
