FEED Projects - Sustainable & Responsible Business of the Week


FEED Projects is selling the FEED Bag. Your purchase of one bag will feed a child for an entire school year through the UN World Food Program.

From their website: "Our personal commitment to working against hunger is matched with a commitment to the environment and to safe and healthy working conditions for all we work with. FEED bags are made with sustainable materials and are designed to be used as an alternative to disposable paper and plastic bags. This environmental and fair labor commitment is an added value in all FEED products."

FEED bags can be purchased through their website (which redirects you to Amazon.com) or through TOMS Shoes' website, a company that donates a pair of shoes to children in need for each pair you purchase.

FEED Projects, LLC was started by Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson soley for the purpose of making and selling FEED bags to raise money to help feed the world's hungry children.

Learn Free Vocabulary & Give Free Rice

In a previous post, I discussed how video games are being used to spread the sustainability message. Now there is Free Rice, an online vocabulary-building game. For each word you get correct, they donate 10 grains of rice to feed the hungry through an international aid agency. The rice is paid for by the advertisers on the site. Over 2,000,000 grains of rice are donated daily. Go ahead, test your vocabulary, expand your knowledge, and give Free Rice!

Update: rice is distributed through the UN Food Program.
