A fun publicity stunt by Lush Cosmetics in Seattle’s downtown retail core sure beat the usual panhandlers, activists and sample giver-outers. Wearing only aprons to barely cover up their wares, the ladies were unfortunately shut down by police after generating much attention from the media and amused onlookers.

Ironically, they were handing "out literature promoting their unpackaged soaps and cosmetic products and pointed out the impact that packaging used by other brands has upon the environment."  But I don’t think anyone cared they were killing trees to promote that they don’t kill as many trees or use as much plastic in their packaging.
