Week 25: Pig N Brew

As alluded to in week 24's video, I got to go to an amazing event this week at the HQ for the Essex County Greenbelt Association.  It was the perfect day.  Such an amazing group of people were there!  The event featured a pig that was raised as sustainably as a pig can be raised and prepared expertly by the women of Chive.  They served a 6 course meal, 5 of which were different parts of the pig and the last was a dessert by Lauren Bell, another of the incredible people I am honored to associate with.

The video here that looks way better than my usual stuff was shot by Aaron Whitman (Thanks Aaron)

Jesse and his band Qwill can be found here.  The video for which he did music is here.

Chive is one of a new breed of businesses that internalize their externalities.  That is to say, they account for every possible bit of the impact they have on the world.  As Jen says in the video, they are a zero-waste company.  Everything they use is either recyclable or compostable.  They take excellent care of their workers, and all of their design elements are reused and reusable.  They are on the cutting edge of the way the world needs to operate - and we all should follow their lead.
