It's all GOOD

Saturday night I, along with a couple thousand other people, attended the GOOD Magazine NYC Anniversary Party. For those of you who have not yet flipped through an issue of GOOD, they describe the philosophy of the magazine as follows: We see a growing number of people tied together not by age, career, background, or circumstance, but by a shared interest. This revolves around a passion for potential mixed with fierce pragmatism and creative engagement. We sum all this up as the sensibility of giving a damn. But to shorten it, let's call it GOOD. We're here to push this movement and cover its realization.

Playing on the theme of "giving a damn" they had plenty of sponsors at the event promoting everything from t-shirts made from bamboo that encouraged people to invest to end poverty and hunger, to instant messaging for a cause, not to mention Izze soda and Abosolut vodka which made everyone feel better. I took advantage of the opportunity to make a short video (about a minute) about what I give a damn about, namely fair trade. Who knows, maybe they'll post it on the GOOD Magazine blog in the coming weeks?!
