While in Seattle last week I ran into some people celebrating Park(ing) Day 2010, where they reclaim the city streets by setting up faux-parks in the parking spots.

FORD is going to be giving away 5 brand new cars to non-profit organizations in the LA area in order to better equip them to do what they do best… help people/change the world. As much heat as huge business gets, it’s cool to see them get involved with grassroots initiatives like this.
You better believe Krochet Kids intl. is going to be applying. If you know anyone else that should apply send them to this site… www.thepeoplesfleet.com
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have been on a mission to recruit as many billionaires (yes, that’s with a “b”) as possible to give away the majority of their wealth to philanthropy. One could easily hear this and negatively point out that they would still possess millions of dollars after they donated, however, I’m choosing not to focus on that.
I think it’s pretty awesome and if nothing else I believe it’s a step in the right direction. I especially appreciate this quote from Buffett on the campaigns website GIVINGPLEDGE.ORG:
“First, my pledge: More than 99% of my wealth will go to philanthropy during my lifetime or at death. Measured by dollars, this commitment is large. In a comparative sense, though, many individuals give more to others every day.”
Wouldn’t you love to sit in on one of those meetings?
Stoked. I have to announce that Krochet Kids intl. will be available in NORDSTROM stores across the nation this Fall! The best part is that it had nothing to do with our staff’s ability to sell things, but purely because there are truly amazing people within our industry that want to be a part of changing the landscape for disenfranchised people across the globe. We are fortunate to now call these people friends.
