My Experiences as a Social Entrepreneur in Developing Countries. ~ Tiez Kroezen

by on Feb 3, 2012

People often ask me what made me decide to give up my consulting-career and live the uncertain life of a social entrepreneur. My answer is that it is because I am a stubborn fool. Foolish enough to try things that many people say are impossible: building a business with thousands of illiterate, unorganized farmers in Ghana, or trying to make money with Internet in Africa, which most experts say is impossible. And I am stubborn enough to continue trying, even when things are tough.

Why less is more – remembering what’s important at Christmas.

by on Dec 7, 2011

I do wonder if anyone is any happier now that we buy more? Do the 105 extra minutes we get on the limited edition DVD really add anything to the film? Have we forgotten how to do anything without getting out our wallets?

Why abundance is too much: in praise of enough

by on Nov 30, 2011

The dictionary tells me that abundance is, "an extremely plentiful or oversufficient quantity or supply". In these difficult financial times, is it realistic to expect abundance? Do we really need an 'oversufficient quantity'?

Honest Answers to the Two Most Annoying Questions about Being Vegan. ~ Denise Cartwright

by on Nov 25, 2011

I hope this helps you look like less of a jack ass next time you meet an attractive vegan in the Whole Foods check out line. Instead of “Where do you get your protein,” try, “I see that you are purchasing hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are so great. What an excellent source of protein and omegas. Maybe we should hang out sometime and eat some hemp seeds together.” I’m almost positive it will get you a date.

You Are What You Drive.

by on Nov 18, 2011

In high school, it seemed like everyone had a car, everyone except me,and oh, did I want one. Bad. As it was, I had to take the bus or was driven by my mom, but like every kid, I wanted those four wheels that would mean coolness to my name. In fact, it was early on in my life that I learned a car would have the power to manage how I felt about myself and where I belonged in society.

Sheet Mulching: Healthy Soil Means Healthy Plants. ~ Laura Ruby

by on Nov 16, 2011

Sheet mulching is now one of my most commonly recommended and practiced gardening techniques. For one, it’s local. It allows you to put to good use most of the organic materials readily available in your own backyard or neighborhood, and it’s free! It builds soil quickly, sustainably and organically.

Making Waves in Colorado: Sunday, November 13. ~ Joseph Chisholm

by on Nov 11, 2011

Although Colorado is far from the salt and sea, people from all over the planet have chosen to make this mountain state their home, and are aware of and want to become more informed about how the decisions we make can effect the oceans so far away. Consumption of all our natural resources including the snow that falls and waters carried in the rivers that swell in spring all lead to the ocean.

Horizon Milk & Silk Soy: 20 Reasons to Ride the White Wave into Dean Foods Green. ~ Tara DeAngelis

by on Oct 6, 2011

As a reader of elephant journal, it is likely you have purchased Horizon Organic Milk, or Silk soy milk recently. Who knew they were owned by the same company, White Wave, who is now owned by Dean Foods? I sure didn’t.Even though food companies like Dean Foods are acquiring companies demonstrating Right-Livelihood, like White Wave, it is still disturbing that the industry is moving closer and closer to being monopolized.The loss of integrity in the organic food industry, along with Monsanto's rising is a eminent crisis that will affect our generation very soon.
