Reducing Trash in School Lunches

2009-09-11T16:24:00.001-07:00

Ever wonder where all that trash goes?

A recent episode of 60 minutes entitled "Wasteland" uncovered the truth behind recycle waste in the United States and where it often ends up (China). They revealed the immense size of the waste, the damage it is causing to the environment when not properly handled, and more importantly the effects of toxins including lead affecting the men, women and children in the nearby villages and on the job. The idea of reducing trash isn't new but it is becoming increasingly critical. And our young kids entering school are at the perfect age to begin learning about recycling.

In my search for reusable packaging, I came across one company that has the right idea for packing a trash-free school lunch. Bento boxes by Laptop Lunches helps you neatly arrange an assortment of lunch options from fruit to sandwiches in a colorful display your kids will love.
Reducing school lunch trash is just one small step for the little ones that could make a big impact on their future and their friends across the globe.

350 Tees = 1 Well = 350 Lives

2009-02-03T14:02:00.000-08:00

This bottle of heavenly goodness is flying straight to Africa. The designers at Orange Cupcake are socking away 100% of their profits from the H2o Tee to bring water to little ones who need it most. The funds will be donated to Charity Water to build a well in Africa that will provide, fresh clean drinking water to about 350 people for 20 years.

Agent 350

Changents = Change Agents. “Changents connects Agents of Change with a fan base  of Backers around the world, enabling them to create change together.”   (changents.com)
Not only did we post our cause to raise awareness about  Charity Water and the H2o tee, we found a reservoir of amazing  people doing amazing things.

Jamie Henn aka Agent 350 is a marketing power house of his own,  using a small team of agents to build a global climate movement around  the number 350. 350 (parts per million) represents the reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere required so our children and grandchildren  can live and prosper into old age.

A Baby Tee that helps Saves Lives, Imagine that.

2008-12-18T06:07:00.000-08:00

Wear charity. It’s a new concept that we embraced after searching for deeper meaning in designing t-shirts and gift giving. Orange Cupcake partnered with the non-profit charity: water to build a well in a village in Africa that will provide fresh, clean drinking water to 400 people for 20 years.

Join in! A well costs $5,000.
We are donating 100% of our profits to charity: water from our wear charity tee to build this well.

charity: water is comprised of visionaries that implement change in a big way. We love them for it. Started by Scott Harrison, this extraordinary charity saves lives everyday. They are in the trenches, meeting the kid’s whose lives could be changed for the price of t-shirt. Imagine that.

As we learned, some kids measure life by the hour, by the 8-hour trek they make to fetch a polluted gallon of water, or by the rumble in their tummies.
Wear art and support a cause, all for the same purchase price of a really cool tee. Imagine, buy a tee for $28. The same $28 you would spend at any Los Angeles boutique. 100% of the profits from this tee will go directly to charity: water.

Let’s spread a message, support a cause, and save a life.
