Making the world a better place, one DOT at a time
William and Mary college, in Williiamsburg Virginia, invited Adam Werbach to speak as part of their DOT Kickoff. The school has taken Sustainability personally and engaged faculty and students to pick a DOT. Adam Werbach and the audience were equally inspired by the actions already taken (7oo+ DOTS on Campus) and by the journey ahead. Adam challenged the school to lead the way to a billion.
William and Mary is the first university to launch DOT on Campus

I’m Caroline McHugh, a rising sophomore at Harvard. I have had the wonderful opportunity to intern with Saatchi and Saatchi with a focus on environmental sustainability and carbon this summer. I am nearing the end of my six weeks here in New York, and I’ve assembled a slideshow to document my experiences. See the top left corner for the story, you can make one up on your own if you prefer.
Sorry for the lame music, I like to think that the original music (that YouTube couldn’t play) would have made it a little more interesting.
And lest you think that all I did was gallivant around Europe, rest assured that there was a significant amount of thinking involved too! In fact I learned from about 1000 respondents to my survey that Saatchi employees are ready for the True Blue journey. So let’s go! I hope to be back to help you all soon!

Matt commutes to the office in Wellington on his electric skateboard - it has a range of about 12Kms before it needs to be charged up again and can reach speeds of 30km.

Happy For My Dinner Tonight!
June 22nd marked the first day Team One employees began participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). What’s CSA you say? It’s the relationship between a local farm and those that eat the food produced. Most consumers not only are unaware of where their food comes from, but who is growing it and how it is produced. A CSA seeks to end our disconnection from the farmer and the land that sustains us. Joining a CSA helps to continue the ancient practices of land stewardship, while at the same time supporting local farmers.
Every Wednesday, the South Central Farmer’s Cooperative rolls up to our loading dock and delivers local produce boxes for 20 employees. We rush down to the mailroom to see what’s inside our boxes (always a surprise), and many of us have been cooking and sharing both food and recipes throughout the week. Not only are we supporting a local farming initiative, we’re supporting each other and growing our own community of sharing and fun around a sustainable practice.

My introduction post is an invitation to rally for support of the Clean Energy Bill being milled over by the House Means and Ways Committee, which will then be presented to the House of Representatives for a vote June 22. It has to pass and it has to have everything in it to make the nation switch to Clean Energy. Please, please come support the bill to make the U.S. a leader of clean energy. We need to generate as much attention to this issue as possible.

“Local Manhattan residents will hold a clean energy rally outside Rep. Rangel’s office to support Rangel in doing everything he can to strengthen the clean energy jobs bill, which is going to be voted on in the house the week of June 22nd.”
Hope to see you there.

Enter Strategy for Sustainability: A Business Manifesto, published by Harvard Business Press, the definitive work on sustainable business strategy by the most authoritative voice in the conversation.
Strategy for Sustainability calls for the relentless pursuit of long-term sustainability—and that doesn’t mean “green.” Strategy has always been about making profits first, and that can’t change. Werbach proposes a new strategy framework that is keenly attuned to the world around us, flexible enough to respond to rapid change, and focused on the long view.

Saatchi & Saatchi Cape Town, launches “Let them into your pants” campaign. With cold, wet and windy weather threatening. The True Blue Team initiated a denim collection to be donated to those less fortunate.
As the jeans were collected they were strung along ‘blue’ washing lines, with blue pegs in reception. Visitors to the agency were curious and we have had offers of other suppliers offering to add their contributions to our cause.
