Gabe is offering free beer to the first 350 people to arrive at Orlando Brewing at 3:50 PM on October 24th. Gabe is doing awesome stuff in our community, and I recommend everyone go and support him, or find a similar event in your area.

Conscious Business Podcast

Dear eco-freaks:

I know I have not been keeping up with the blogging/podcasting over here at Shrink Your Ecological Footprint, but at the same time I don’t believe people should apologize for not blogging. Still, I think there are some really great resources out there for folks looking for inspiration to get themselves or others motivated to think about what is happening to ourselves and the world right now.

The Conscious Business Podcast is one of many shows published by some nice boys from Boulder at their Falling Fruit website. They are spiritual geeks, as well as often talking about philosophy and environmental issues. It’s difficult to describe exactly what they do, so instead I’d like you to sample some of their best work.

A few months ago, the guys (like the host who always introduces himself as “myself, Theo Horesh”) interviewed Joshua Onysko, Founder and CEO of Pangea Organics, an organic soap and bodycare company. Pangea is one of the epitomic example of a “conscious” business. Not only are they green, but they always pay their emplyees a fair wage and they have even opened up all of the inner workings of their business to the world for scrutiny. More on that in the podcasts though.

The interview is broken into two parts:

How to Build a Better Banana Peel

and

How Responsible Can Businesses Actually Be?

Props to Duff and Theo for their excellent program. I hope they can pass the inspiration along to you.

I like to fill up my Nalgene bottle every morning before I leave the house. It keeps me hydrated and recuces waste while saving me some money. It’s a no-brainer.
