As I mentioned in my post, 5 Meatless Monday Dinner Ideas , Kalyn Denny's Meatless Monday column on BlogHer has inspired me to share with you some of the vegetarian and vegan dishes I cook during the week. It's been crazy cold in California, so a green smoothie didn't sound very appealing, but a soup did.

While re-reading Echoing Green's book, Be Bold: Create a Career with Impact , I've been thinking about one of its main ideas--that people have moments of obligation. One of my moments of obligation came during the Green Festival in San Francisco in the fall of 2002. Echoing Green Fellows' descriptions of their moments of obligation.

Frankly, I think if you look at the companies that we work with--companies like Costco, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, Procter and Gamble, Green Mountain, another great company we work with, those companies tend to be very careful about the PR that they put out around Fair Trade and tend to have their own interest in there being a link there.

One of the things for me, in going to protests and demonstrations about different issues, is that I felt that the protests were really boring, dry and preachy, not fun and compelling. How can we uplift people out of poverty with this new green boom and not leave some people out. Because it's fun. That's great.
