𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗕 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵? As a proud employee of a certified B Corp, I am constantly looking for ways to support other business that have chosen to be a force for good. So, in honor of B Corp month, each week in March I'm going to shine the spotlight on one of my favorite fellow B Corps! I'm kicking-it off with a highlight of an amazing B Corp and my very favorite craft brewery. All the way from Athens, Georgia, it's Creature Comforts Brewing Co. Since their beginning, Creature Comforts has been committed to brewing exceptional beers and cultivating a great space for human connection. In 2018, they officially earned their B Corp certification and have been dedicated to brewing a brighter future for their people, their community and the planet. Here are just a few ways Creature Comforts walks the walk: 🍻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲: They prioritize employee well-being and offer competitive benefits. 🍻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: They source ingredients from local farms whenever possible, reducing their environmental footprint and strengthening the Athens community. 🍻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆: Their "Get Comfortable" program tackles a critical issue – low literacy rates in Athens. They've pledged to raise the percentage of 3rd graders reading on grade level from 20% to 60% over the next few years.  🍻 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀: Their "Brew For One" program creates a special beer each year with all profits going to a chosen recipient in need, what an amazing way to invest in the lives of those within their community. So, next time you're looking for a delicious brew, keep an eye out for Creature Comforts and raise a glass to good beer and good business practices.

In my several years as an education professional I have never come across such an inspiring individual as Gavin. I am part of the Pietermaritzburg Gandhi Foundation and one of the projects we deal with is Food Gardens in underprivileged schools. This video is what I call real information that has no frills and fancies but will bring children from all over the world an awareness of others. This is showcasing real people, real lives,real food and in some way this will create an understanding of the value of simplicity. #food#education#sustainability#

It is really important to learn about Environmental and Social Justice leaders who are bringing solutions to frontline communities. Learn more about Barcelo Gardens in New Oreans and their approach to countering food deserts. What are other food justice organizations that PoP should cover? #environmentaljustice

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, known for its rich history, culture, and education, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. As the first European city to do so, Edinburgh has banned meat from the menus of its schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. While the intention to address nutritional needs in aged care facilities, schools, and hospitals is applaudable, the execution has raised eyebrows. Despite this decision, Edinburgh remains a cultural hub, with the famous Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe, the world's largest annual international arts festival, attracting millions of visitors each year. The city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the UK's second-most visited tourist destination, attracting 4.9 million visits, including 2.4 million from overseas in 2018. As a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scottish law, literature, philosophy, the sciences, and engineering, the University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582, is considered one of the best research institutions in the world. It is the second-largest financial centre in the United Kingdom, the fourth largest in Europe, and the thirteenth largest internationally. Let's hope #Edinburgh can find a way to balance its cultural and educational legacy with the nutritional needs of its citizens. #scotland, #NHS, #mentalhealth, #leadership, #business,

"I hear citizens in society discussing how the masters are taking over farms and ranches everywhere now–that they are “corporatizing” food production and supply. If the masters are taking control of the primary food source for society by taking over farms and ranches, how do citizens think they will be able to independently grow their own food?...Because society is like a giant corporation, the shareholders–citizens in society–may have ownership interest in the corporation to the degree that they have a “vote” of who sits on the board of directors which then determines what executives run the operations of the corporation. But this is a fiction more than a reality because shareholder power functions in percentages. In other words, in order to have any power through voting (voting being a mere formality as we discussed previously in our talk on the citizens living as patients in an asylum), the shareholder must own a substantially large percentage of shares in the corporation. Most citizen shareholders do not. The masters do if even through proxies. It follows that the masters’ voting power will be more meaningful in determining the direction and activities of the corporation where the average citizen’s voting power will not. Thus, because the average citizen’s “say” in how society is run is severely diluted by their insignificant voting power, the masters maintain control of society by their significant voting power...I don’t understand...If the masters who control society and the environment are moving in on the farmers and ranchers who are already capable of growing food and the masters are effectively controlling this food supply, do you think citizens who are not already capable of growing their own food supply will be given the opportunity to do so without permission from and regulation by the masters?...Okay, I see where you were going here." (Excerpt from The Great Purge, pp. 14-15) Are the masters culling the population? How are they exterminating people? How do they ensure no more people are made? Many people seem oblivious about the depopulation agenda and those who are aware seem incapable of doing anything about it. Is this because the human race was engineered to be slaves—programmed to obey their masters to the point of self-destruction? These serious questions with existential implications are scrutinized in detail in this book, The Great Purge, from the series The Sage and the Seeker. The reader must decide for themself on the merits of the arguments.

Please help my friend Anna Marie Kotter with her survey on the topic of food storage / waste at home: A relevant issue, worth self-reflecting on the own behavior!

So cool to come across an article about our book Eating Chilli Crab in the Anthropocene in the second issue of an exciting new journal, the Journal of Southeast Asian Ecocriticism. It’s titled “Reading Eating Chilli Crab in the Anthropocene as an Eco-activist Text,” and analyzes the book’s “unique communicative design.” Here’s the abstract:   This paper examines how Eating Chilli Crab in the Anthropocene (2020) tells the story of climate change by foregrounding the creative, narrative and rhetorical strategies deployed in highlighting ecological changes which have occurred over vast scales of time and space. A much discussed volume in the local environmental humanities interest groups, this collection of personal essays by climate-generation authors presents a unique communicative design. Innovative, interactive and meta-textual elements of the book will be discussed to present how these young, Singaporean activists communicate ideas and values related to the ethical treatment of non-human animals, the effects of intrusive urbanisation, pollution, manipulated migrations and climate change. I argue that the impact of non-human nature on the authors is rendered into a deeply political “call-to-action”, highlighting the importance of voice in environmental communication and in bridging theory and praxis in youth political activism. I also explore the idea of viable alternatives to street activism and whether effective, non-performative activism can be textual or literary.

Have a look at this! What is the situation in your location? #JiM-justin15minutes will help to bring clarity on how justice is part of urban proximity planning.
