Check out this snippet of our interview at the Boulder Shambhala Center back in the day.

via Bush Made Permanent By PAUL KRUGMAN

The McCain tax plan contains three main elements.
First, Mr. McCain proposes making almost all of the Bush tax cuts, which are currently scheduled to expire at the end of 2010, permanent. (He proposes reinstating the inheritance tax, albeit at a very low rate.)
Second, he wants to eliminate the alternative minimum tax, which was originally created to prevent the wealthy from exploiting tax loopholes, but has begun to hit the upper middle class.
Third, he wants to sharply reduce tax rates on corporate profits.

Waylon,

Dear Erin,
My dad just bought 5 pounds of this sustainably harvested wild alaskan salmon from two local brothers... seems like a great gig.
If the family you cook for likes salmon, it might be worth considering.

Dear Erin (or rather to your friend who suggested buying the sustainably-harvest frozen salmon)
Have you read Michael Pollan's masterwork: Shipping fish, or other 'sustainable' food or meat, might be an unsustainable action.

Miss Hannah Kinderlehrer, a young Buddhist mother, saw our latest tee shirts and was inspired to extrapolate our silly fun eco message. She designed the above for a girlfriend's birthday, with our cheerful blessing--

Often, spirituality is about navel-gazing, perfecting one's Self...my local Buddhist center didn't offer recycling for years, and still buys all its food abnd meat from factory-farm Safeway and the like. But that might be changing. The 17th Karmapa is young, charismatic, Buddhist, and eco-inspired.

We knew Nalgene has long experimented on animals. And now we know that plasticy taste ain't a good thing, neither.

I want first of all...to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact - to borrow from the language of the saints - to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible... ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh, author of Gift from the Sea

Request it! Help us grow... organically. If you and your friends are willing to buy elephant at your local Whole Foods, all you have to do is request it. Some of our buddies at WFM say, 'We listen to those requests--if they're genuine, and we get even a couple at any one location, we will order it." We're carried through One Source, WFM's magazine distribution--so literally all ya gotta do is ask.

They're here. Organic cotton. Fair-labor, made in US of A by American Apparel's well-cared for workers. Printed with Anthem, who rox the best prices and are good people, besides (contact me for hooks). To order, get'm at Om Time, Boulder Bodywear, T Bar or elevision weekly at Tril-oh-gee. Or our brand-spankin' new office, first time we've had a non-virtual address in five point five years.

The other day, we (including yours truly) had had just about enough of my temper tantrums, stress, sensitivity and negativity. Even Redford, my golden dappled mutt pooch, was like, “I know I’m not supposed make so much noise with my bone, but you don’t have to get so mad about it.” Apparently, putting out an 116-page ecopaper magazine with a ton of ads and editorial but

So I called in the big guns: Al Baldocchi (a mover/shaker behind Noodles and Chipotle success) and Dave Rogers (Onion & Crowdfunder.com) from elephant’s advisory board, and Matt Gerson and Pippa Sorly of econsciousmarket.com and our buddy Alisa Yablonski, a professional business consultant. Alisa moderated and led the meeting (“Alisa designs, plans and facilitates Strategic Meetings using the “Meeting Architecture” framework to help organizations think creatively, collaborate efficiently and communicate effectively to build a sustainable future.”)
