by better, i don't mean better than your blog. or anyone else's for that matter. i mean, this blog is going to focus on better. bettering, betterment, best. even some good. i may post on
social issues that need attention. maybe throw in tips to
green up your life. i might post on
record labels that are integrating environmental stewardship into the music industry. the benefits of
organic cotton.
responsible mountain biking.
businesses that make a difference. and those
social entrepreneurs who are tackling big problems with business ideas. and
sustainability in business. and
fair trade products. maybe some thoughts on building
better schools.
i will write a lot about my own project,
Interwoven Threads, and provide updates on its growth as a socially-conscious startup. the successes. the frustrations. the ideas. the questions. the new designs and collaborators that make up the soul of this company. Interwoven Threads is my way of doing better. it's my baby. my inspiration. my nights and weekends. and i enjoy discussing the company with like-minded people.
most of all, i hope this blog ignites and participates in important conversations about doing better in our homes, workplaces, communities and world. i also hope it simplifies the steps necessary to changing our own lives for the better. baby steps, you know?

I've been following Bicycling Magazine's Biketown program for a while - it's an incredibly simple example of doing little things (donating a bike to someone who doesn't have one) to transform a life. Some of the recipients use their new bike to ride to a job, some find a new way to exercise, and some just rediscover the joy of wheeling around like a kid again. The flip side, is a heightened awareness for cycling. Win-win.
