Four Seconds of Inspiration

Checkout Safeway, Vons, and Albertsons Selection of Locally Grown Valentine's Day Flowers

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, surprise that special someone with fresh flowers from your local Safeway, Vons, or Albertsons store.

Reflections on Laudato Si - Continued

It’s why building the circular economy is so important. When you design for disassembly, eliminate the concept of waste and optimize the utility of our limited raw materials, as nature so beautifully does, you offer hope of a future where the needs of all people can be met without threatening the biosphere.

Make the World a Better Place in 2016

2016 is a big election year, so voting should definitely be part of your resolution. But we’re talking about more than just the ballot you’ll cast for President in November. Every purchase you make is a vote – a vote for local farmers, a vote for healthier food, a vote for companies that are doing business better. When you buy Fair Trade Certified products, you are voting for safe working conditions, environmental protection, equal rights for women, reduced pesticide use and no child labor. This resolution is a win for all – for farmers, for the planet, and for you.

What if that gathering captured the same spirit of hope and enthusiasm that permeates the Olympic Games? Perhaps the focus could even be something as ambitious as solving climate change.
