Learn how to let Earth chill.

We are going to be hitting the road and heading north to Ft. Collins next month to participate in the Sustainable Living Fair.

The Sept. 18-19 shindig is going to bring some of the best and brightest of the sustainable industry together in one spot.  With four inspiring speakers, two days of fun workshops and 250 exhibitors providing goods and services that can “move people toward powerful choices that have a real impact in their daily lives and our shared future,” this is a perfect opportunity to learn how to make some positive changes in your life that will benefit the world at the same time.

We hope that if you are in the area you’ll come check it out—and come to meet us. Tickets are available at the gate for $8 a day and kids under 12 are admitted free.

Directions and alternative transportation suggestions (leave your car at home!) can be found here.

Supporting great eco-ideas

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

While in a coffee shop/bookstore in Ft. Collins last week, I cruised by a selection of foodie books that caught my eye. As is my habit, I busted out my trusty Moleskine, added the titles to my library list and got online to reserve what I could when I got back home.

I just got back from the library where I picked up a loaner copy of The Town that Food Saved by Ben Hewitt. Inspired by the local growers that steadfastly come to Boulder every Wednesday evening and Saturday morning for the Boulder County Farmers’ Markets, I’ll be digging into some local produce for dinner tonight and reading this book to see how a passionate commitment to supporting a great idea can make many ships rise on a tide of entrepreneurial idealism.

Good ideas may be a dime a dozen, but props to the folks who see them into fruition—and I am proud to tell you that I work for one of them). It makes the world a better place for all of us.
