This post is the first in a series of posts on the people I met and their projects. Kim Burgas is the Co-Founder and Director of Crimson Campaign. As I awkwardly made my way thru the initial reception in K.C. I met Kim and she began to explain her work....

Fair trade works, but it can work better

Recent research from the Institute of Development Studies reveals how fair trade can improve farmers’ lives.

Doing good, with style

We all get urges to buy new things, with clothes often near the top of the list. Luckily, you can do some good and get your shopping fix at second-hand shops. Sometimes the fit isn’t quite right, but you can perfect your look by altering the clothes. Here’s an easy tutorial on how to hem your own jeans.

Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory →

Recently, This American Life, brought this story to it’s dedicated listeners. TAL has done many stories I have loved, however this one is exceptionally good. It takes us thru the story of how lots of the tech we use every day, specifically, Apple products, are made and how the people who make the products are treated. It is worth the hour. Give it a listen.

In a very bold move last month Patagonia asked it’s customers to this very thing. Check out the Fast Company article. When I stopped buying clothes for a year in 2008, I discovered that I didn’t need all the new clothes I was...
