    Socially Conscious Millennials

    As much as older generations love to indulge in the eye-rolling “kids these days” mentality, Millennials have been identified as being quite socially conscious. So much so, that many brands including JCPenney, Macy’s and General Mills launched back-to-school marketing initiatives that are tied to youth-oriented social causes. JCPenney’s “Pennies from Heaven” campaign uses a JCP [...]

    Modern Day Slavery

    Recently, a friend had a rant about internet activists that rail against “modern slavery” and American consumption of slave made goods. His point was that it’s all hot air unless they are offering a solution. He was questioning the logic of simply not buying… wouldn’t that put these people in the third world out of [...]

    Giving Back: Uniqlo is Doing It Right. BING? Ahhh No.

    As the world shakes its head with incomprehension at the destruction in Japan, some companies are showing their true colors with the ways they are Giving Back™.  This week has been full of examples of good and bad reactions to this horrific disaster.  The example I wanted to highlight as a standout is Japan’s leading [...]

    An Accidental Tweet That Turned Out Well

    This is a funny twitter “incident” that made me chuckle and love the internet even more… (if that’s possible.) The Red Cross employee who mans their twitter account accidently sent out a seemingly drunk tweet.  PR crisis? Nope, the opposite. This is what went out (and has since been deleted): “Ryan found two more 4 [...]

    Mark Joins Billionaires Who Are Giving It Back

    Here’s a story that gave me a warm glow as we head into the Holidays.  In this world where so few have the majority of wealth – more than any one person could even possibly spend- it’s so great to see philanthropy being embraced by younger and younger people. 26 yr old Mark Zuckerberg has [...]

    Do Good – It’s Actually Pretty Simple Folks

    My roommate and I don’t have a car. Recently, she went on an expedition to buy several huge bags of mulch for the garden. While in the checkout queue, she mused to the cashier about whether a cab would be cool with such a cargo “don’t like your chances” was the reply.

    Gotta Love the Creatures!

    In the true spirit of Giving Back, I have come across a charity that is very near and dear to my heart. I was never a dog person till I got my guy Chili, and then I got Quesa Blu, then Shade! They truly are my kids, they fight, they grumble, and tear things up…well Shade does anyway, but I have learned how unconditionally they love…
