  • Profiting people and the planet

    Though I'm sure the specifics of manufacturing trucks are different than electric vehicles- it does seem that re-skilling workers rather than laying them off would be the best option... something like a green collar job, perhaps?On GM considers selling Hummer brand posted 1 year, 5 months ago 5 Responses

  • Glass Houses as the saying goes...

    America was only able to mask many of its unpleasant foreign entanglements because, at the time, there wasn't much of an international conscience. Now that the spotlight's a bit brighter on everyone we should be working with- not fighting against China.

    Even though they're the first and we're the fourth, that doesn't mean that we have any less say in what goes on in Nigeria. In fact, as Wolverine pointed out, we host their head offices.

Especially since you've had them for such a long time and Birkies are made to specifically form to your foot- I think it's better for the planet if you wear them 'till you can't wear them anymore. Then, when their time comes  invest in some animal-friendly footwear!On Umbra on leather vs. pleather shoes posted 1 year, 10 months ago 22 Responses

  • Alternative Inspiration

    Though at times Grist is laugh-out-loud funny, I agree that we also need to hear the uplifting stories of success.  My suggestion shares more social successes than environmental (but it does make sure to share those often, too!)
