Break Your Plastic Habit
.
Nestlé recently made a visit to our town and decided that it would make a nice place for a water harvesting project: 65 million gallons of groundwater will be pumped and trucked 120 miles over several mountain passes to a bottling plant. Then it'll be injected into plastic water bottles so it can be transported to stores and sold to people who have been fooled into buying it.
.
Our community is up in arms. I figure we need to hit Nestlé where it counts: If we don’t buy bottled water they might have to change their tune. Change, after all, is found in your pocket.
.
I began with five posters and moved on to building a website www.UglyPlasticHabit.com. Help us help the planet by getting educated, spreading the word and, above all, saying NO to bottled water!

What Blackspot is All About...
Blackspot is our experiment with grassroots capitalism. After spending so many years railing against the practices of megacorporations like McDonalds, Starbucks and Nike, we wanted to prove that running an ethical business is possible.The reality is that most of us have to buy shoes on a regular basis, so we wanted to introduce an option that is socially and environmentally responsible to a market that is sorely lacking in similar convictions.
Blackspot shoes are made with hemp, recycled tires and vegan leather and produced in fair-trade or unionized factories. We sell only to independent retailers worldwide in order to cycle money back into local economies.
Blackspot is also an open-source brand, which means that it can be used by anyone for any purpose at no cost. Our hope is that people with similar philosophies will be inspired by our experiment and start their own business ventures, spreading indie culture and providing ever more alternatives to buying from megacorporations. Blackspot is about more than marketing a brand or deconstructing the meaning of cool – it's about changing the way the world does business.
