Collaboration, Innovation, Progress

This video shows a simple solution that is changing the lives of the effected people directly and immediately.  And - they are using waste to do it.  Sustainability doesn't get much better than this.

Looptworks Upcycling

I am getting ready for the International Society of Sustainability Professionals in Porltand next week and on my trip I get to go visit the Looptworks HQ.  This company takes excess material from clothing production and turns it into new styles and products.  They don't use anything that wasn't being thrown away.  Here is a great video explaining the process.

B Corp? It's the new black

Red Sky Blue Water is now a B Corp company!! B Corp is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. B Corp standards are mandated in 5 US States and there are incentives for B corporations in many others. Red Sky Blue Water is a part of B Corp because without standards, consumers are left with unclear messaging and mountains of research to ensure their standards are shared by those with whom they choose to do business. We are making it easier for to know we stand by our message – Healthy Business in Healthy Communities.
