Though this week’s green giving guide is turning towards food and last minute ecotaining tips…I had to conclude the gifts that give back ideas with one of all-time favorite, feel-good finds. I’ve been a fan of Lauren Bush Lauren for several years now after we met doing the EcoLifestyle Gala for SFGD in 2010 (she was the EcoLifestyle Award recipient). She’s a style icon, a trendsetter and an inspiration – her FEED Projects have provided 60 million meals and generated over 6 million dollars in donations since she launched it in 2005. She’s a true icon for the new generation of philanthropists and dogooders – leading the pack in the concept of giving x3 (purchases that turn into something for one, for another and then one another as she gives back to the world with a recipe for change). Each FEED purchase from the FEED 5 bracelet (retail $18) to the FEED KENYA purse (retail $150) and many more bags/accessories, offers an opportunity to feed from 5-50 +. It’s a great day when the description of your gift, includes a prescription for helping others.
