Our President Davidson Lewis recently traveled to California to speak at the Greener by Design conference during the Innovators' Showcase. William McDonough of Cradle to Cradle fame, Tom Szaky of TerraCycle, and many other like minded speakers described their techonologies and techniques to like minded innovators.

GreenerDesign has a great article with a brief glimpse of Davidson's presentation on reclamation, and sustainable manufacturing. Each speaker had a short time to describe their unique eco-ideal process. They even mentioned our intra-office term for our partners who are both our suppliers and customers - supplustomer.

In the dark shroud of night, one can hear the clang of shovels digging through rocky soil, the crack of PBR cans, and the huff of hard breathing from freeride trail builders.

These biking ninjas, in the past, have had to quickly and silently build out their lines before 'the man' brings them down by felling trees across trails. Today, they no longer face these difficulties as they have partnered with the US Forest Service to build the most sustainable and sweet lines through insane terrain around the US.

We are proud to be a sponsor of the documentary and action sports film Freedom Riders, which details the progression and faces of the sport. Our friends at KGB Productions and Gravnetic have done a great job developing the film and will release it at the 2009 Sea Otter Classic. We are super psyched to be a part of their freeride revolution!

Check out the killer trailer to see how the men and women of freeride have made their sport an excellent and sustainable adventure for adrenal gland junkies.

It was announced formally last night that Ecologic Designs, Green Guru's parent corporation, won a major international sustainability award further defining our commitment to sustainable, domestic manufacture!
