redwood creek greater outdoors project
lots of companies talk a good game.
they like for you to think they’re doing something good & wonderful for the environment in order to snag your great green dollar. it’s beyond depressing the ways they sneakily lull you into submission.
fortunately, some companies are doing the right thing and they are worth noting. like, redwood creek wines. they have a commitment to the environment & community. if you know any non-profits that could use some cashola to fund their eco efforts, check out redwood creek’s greater outdoors project–a $50,000 grant for outdoor environmental non-profits. cool, huh? and the winning organization will also be featured in the redwood creek ad campaign next year!
applicants should be creative in their project submissions–whether clearing pollution from lake erie, collecting litter from the trails of the redwood forests, or sprucing up the appearance of the everglades, any project that is committed to preserving, protecting, and providing access to the great outdoors is deemed appropriate for the greater outdoors project.
while not organic, you can support redwood creek in it’s effort to be green–reward them for their use of recycled glass (30% glass, 80% green glass) and 30% recycled cardboard for their shippers and buy some of their wine for your next shindig. unfortunately, they do fall short by rationalizing their mini bottles–saying they’re 100% recyclable–which while true, misses the mark completely. i am sure there is some wasted grape–as larger bottles, left open for a few days, sour–but mini bottles are just not the “greenest” way to avoid it.
