SEATTLE INNOVATORS – Seattle, Washington
Collaborator
‘Building the Future in One Place – Seattle can be that city!’ Seattle Innovators is a growing community of local creatives seeking to coordinate the vast array of existing activities in the region’s social businesses, non-profits, government agencies, and research institutions around the goal of a carbon-neutral city. We seek the neutral ground between these sectors that encourages regional collaboration and produces results that are greater than the sum of our parts.
The majority of those who have been involved in initial conversations come from the sustainability, civic engagement, technology, policy, and urban planning communities.
While that is itself a broad coalition, we are only beginning.
Our success depends on the talents and networks of many communities – including business, research institutions, finance, government, and media. We welcome strategists, visionaries, implementers, researchers, and technology evangelists. Join us here.
Collaborator: Bringing my extensive business and marketing skills to the mix, along with a passion to demonstrate how permaculture can be applied to business processes and systems to achieve sustainable abundance.
SUBSTANCE – Calabasas, California
Business Consultant
HEMP! Substance combines great fashion with advocacy. This fashion company start-up develops and manufactures a unique apparel line that introduces garments made from the most versatile textile – hemp. They have created hemp textiles softer and finer than Pima Cotton and much more eco-friendly than organic cotton. Plus, the company promotes the green cause to legalize farming of industrial hemp in the United States by incorporating unique and often edgy messages within each garment. Substance sends a clear message: use an eco-friendly alternative for fashion to benefit the planet.
