The Trash Tour
We love it when we learn about someone’s unwavering passion to address a big problem. When we heard about Adi Carter we had no choice. We had to share our support. And along with Whole Foods and Pangea Organics, we’re sponsoring Adi and her wonderous awareness raising trash tour.
Adi is a yoga instructor and she hits the road this week for a three month tour. She will be teaching and traveling with her trash to call attention to a more sustainable way of living. Everything goes with her.
She’s inspired (and so are we) by the work of the Cambodian Children’s Fund which is focused on getting children out of poverty and the dump sites and into schools. Her dedication exemplifies The Power of One concept as she makes her way around the country. We’ll be following her footsteps over the coming months.

And here’s a wonderful short film entitled, The Story of Stuff, and illuminating look at our throw-away habits.

So many thanks to Jeff and the wonderful people at bambu for supporting me and the vision of change! 3 days in and this trash tour is already changing the way I look at my life, the purchases I make and especially what I chose to eat!
The small bambu cutting board fits easily into a ziplock plastic bag and I am using it as a plate when I get small meals on the go (like pizza or falafel)…the people who serve me my food use the bambu board instead of a paper plate and it’s always a great conversation starter (undoubtedly people will also ask me why I don’t want to eat off of a paper plate and that of course starts the story!)
I encourage readers to give it a try, even if it’s just for a day as all big journeys start with small steps.
be well…
