Aren’t these adorable? The fit on both pieces looks stylish, but still comfortable and I love the color of that dress. They’re also about a third the price of anything you’d find at J. Crew or Banana Republic. But, the best news yet is that they’re made in India by a women’s co-op! The company ensures their workers a living wage, safe working conditions, an on-site daycare, retirement benefits… gee whiz, where can I get a job like that?

I just read about a really rad food bank in Seattle that’s based on the design and functionality of a grocery store! What a wonderful idea!

Here’s the original article from The Seattle Times.

Plus within the article was a link to Ample Harvest. Ample Harvest is a website that links gardeners with their local food banks allowing fresh produce to be distributed to the needy! Brilliant!

AND if you’re looking for gardening advice, seeds, or supplies check out The Dinner Garden. This group is dedicated to helping Americans grow their own food.

I love a good radical concept.
