Ever have a bad carbon day?
I’m flying to Denver tomorrow, renting a car to drive to Boulder for a meeting, then returning to the airport to fly home. Phew!!! I try to act responsibly to keep my carbon footprint at a minimum or neutral, however sometimes it’s not possible.
I’d like to offset my gas guzzling day by giving back to mother earth and I need your assistance. I will donate $250 in EO to a worthy cause assisting/caring for the earth, animals or nature in some way. It can be anything from an established non-profit organization focused on the above who needs extra sanitizers and hand soap to a group of concerned citizens cleaning up the BS BP spill in Alabama over the weekend who want some bubble bath and lotion to pamper themselves after a hard day of cleanup.
Please visit EO’s Facebook Page and share your ideas of a worthy cause. I’d like to send out the product next week. Thanks, Brad

About this Blog
Since co-founding EO® in 1995, I have been increasingly drawn to the idea of "responsible business" and how my participation in the world reflects my ability "to respond." My hope is that this photo blog will provide you with an insight of how and why I/we do what we do at EO® and beyond.

If you are considering making a donation of skin care products I would recommend splitting the donation between two organizations.
1) City Slicker Farms – Non Profit that builds and tends to community gardens, private gardens and produce distribution programs in West Oakland.
2) Ploughshares – Non Profit that trains residents in the former Alameda Naval Air Base to grow fruits and vegetables and gain work skills at a micro farm on the former base.
Both are focus on sustainable food production for people that have limited access to quality food. Farming is tough on your hands and feet!
