In principle, I do NOT support bottled water: Water is Water! That’s what reusables are for! They just bottle tap anyway! I spend a lot of time with someone who refuses to drink tap. It’s so SoCal. I poke fun, being the dirty hippie all into conserving our use of plastics. But. I confess that…
If there’s anything I love, it’s shopping for a good cause (see: Sevenly). I recently had the pleasure of being introduced to Dave Spandorfer by Jiabei Chen of Ampere. The 25-year-old and his college cross country and track teammate Mike Burnstein launched Janji, a running apparel supplier that benefits countries in need in May of…

I love that living in Aspen allows me to attend Ideas Fest sessions that I wouldn’t normally get the pleasure of joining (see past recaps here and here). This year, I attended two distinct but related panels, so I will discuss them together. The details: Entrepreneurship 2012 with Michael Lopp, Kevin Delaney, Joe Muscat, Daniel Epstein, and…
This Mother’s Day, I’m working with Clever Girls in support of Macy’s Heart of Haiti to shine a light on the “trade, not aid” program, which provides sustainable income to Haitian artisans struggling to rebuild their lives and support their families after the 2010 earthquake. Happy early Mother’s Day, Mom! Here’s a story we know…
The third year of the “Give 5% to Mother Earth” campaign has blown up in Austin, with over 120 businesses committing to donate five percent of gross sales on April 21st, the Saturday of Earth Day weekend, to six non-profits that dedicate their time and energy into making Central Texas a better place. The business list is…
