  • “We’re just trying to save the environment”

    In this inspiring little video produced by our friends at the Dogwood Alliance, you’ll see 10-year-old Cole and three of his friends travel from North Carolina to the KFC headquarters in Louisville, KY to deliver over 6000 hand-drawn postcards from youth across the South asking the company to green their packaging.

    As Cole put it: ” We just want them to use a little more post-consumer recycled fiber and we’re happy. We’re just trying to save the environment.”

    Right on, Cole!

    PS. Keep an eye out for our upcoming The Good Stuff podcast, where Annie interviews Cole about his great work saving North Carolina’s forests and taking on fast-food giants!

  • Lend Us Your Stories

    We know from reading our email, chatting on the phone, and bumping in to you in person that the Story of Stuff Community is full of problem solvers.

    We’re greeted daily by folks who’ve figured out solutions to a huge range of environmental and social problems, from too much packaging to too little community.

    Now, we want to share these solutions stories with the Story of Stuff community.

    This summer, we’re beginning production on The Good Stuff – the first ever Story of Stuff Project podcast series. The podcasts will be short, solutions-focused and inspiring.
