That Wristband on Your Wrist Says A Lot About You

That wristband on your wrist can make a big statement about what you believe in. Since Lance Armstrong popularized the LiveStrong bracelet for cancer research, many people have used the same brilliant marketing strategy to promote their own cause. When you put a silicone bracelet on your wrist, you are telling the world what you support. For example, if you support green lifestyles or products, you can wear a green silicone bracelet that lets people know that you believe in saving the planet from our current excesses.

These silicone bracelets are color coded according to the cause that is being promoted. Yellow is for cancer research, green is for the environment, red is for HIV and AIDS awareness, and blue is for autism research. Pink symbolizes breast cancer awareness and research, and the rainbows support peace or gay pride or marriage. This is a short list of colors and their symbols; there are more causes that the silicone bracelets are used for by color category.

When you see people with these different colored silicone bracelets, you can ask them if you are not sure what the silicone wristband represents. People who wear the wristbands may want to talk about their commitment to the cause, and if they respond, you might learn something about them. They may even ask you about that wristband on your wrist, and you might find you have something in common.

These are great icebreakers to wear at parties or to functions where you do not know many people. If you have just moved and are attending a school or a church function, people who might not otherwise approach you could possibly want to discuss that wristband on your wrist just to get a conversation going.
