I already mentioned Sloane’s dream to go to Davos; how about another couple people doing cool, meaningful, valuable things?

Kyle Berner of Feelgoodz and Benjamin Reece of Deltree recently launched a Kickstarter project called A Fair World: A Documentary For Conscious Capitalism, using flip flops to tell a story about fair trade and move people to act.

In their words:

Together, we aim to create a documentary on Fair Trade that illustrates a new way of doing business and moves you to act.

Feelgoodz flip-flops are sourced from all natural rubber from the Yang Para (“Rubber Tree”) in Southern Thailand and manufactured outside of Bangkok. I used to live and teach English in Thailand, and moved by the power of giving, created Feelgoodz to use sales of my flip-flops as a vehicle to create positive social change around the world.

Our first project, in partnership with TransFair USA, Ashoka, and Whole Foods, centers around creating a Fair Trade Rubber System for the entire country of Thailand. We want to introduce the world to our farmers and manufacturers in order to educate all about Fair Trade. We hope to create this documentary as a vehicle for human connection that impels an action to support businesses that truly care.

If that moves you, donate and support the project by clicking here. It moved me.
