OK...the sustainability world needs more pool parties. I actually recall Paul Hawken and Vicki Robin saying many times that it's time to make this stuff a lot more fun and I'm pleased to report the Angella Lindvall and her Collage Foundation did just that on Sunday.
The party, held at a private home in Pacific Palasades and sponsored by Tanqueray, was actually an event to launch Collage's new website and online magazine. There were plenty of pretty faces there, but more importantly just as many people of substance including some established and new-to-the-list personal hereos: Julia Butterfly Hill, Van Jones, Tai Robinson of Hydrogen Hummer fame, biodiesel boy-wonder Josh Tickell, Wildlife Works' founder Mike Korchinsky and model/budding entomologist Summer Rayne Oakes.
Got to hang with the a few of the SSF-LA possy too: Susanne Donnegan - our LA Liaison and green interior designer extraordinaire and Colette Brooks - our favorite PR princess/surfer (Colette was responsible fore getting over 20 celebs to show up to the last few Oscars in hybrids). Good people, inspiring speakers, organic food, a solar-powered Jerry Cantrell...what more could a sustainable socialite ask for.
Finally, had a great meeting with Ruben and Lisa from Earth Communications Office (ECO) and Gavin Keilly on next year's OSSA Awards. Good times ahead.
