Roughstock Round-Up: March 2007
Howdy!
Maybe it’s because springtime is peaking around the corner, but I can't help noticing that this month's issue of the Round-Up is awfully green.
Eat Well When You’re Away From Home
I’m excited to announce the completion of a particularly exciting project for Roughstock: training materials for Omni Hotels’ Art of Breakfast initiative. Omni has taken a public step towards sustainability by offering a breakfast menu that features organic foods, humanely raised pork and cage free eggs. Not only is it refreshing for me to be able to work with corporate clients who recognize the role they play when it comes to environmental issues, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when I hear trainees saying things like “I learned a lot about organic food that I was completely unaware of,” and “It makes me proud to work for a company that is environmentally conscious.” Thanks to Omni and WineQuest for this opportunity!

Thanks to my work with Omni, I had travel on the brain when Green Options asked me to contribute to their blog. GO is an online resource guide for folks interested in greening up their lives; check out my article on traveling green to discover some great resources for your next trip.
Meet TED
Every year, thousands of wide-minded movers and shakers congregate in Monterey, CA to discuss the impressive things that can be done in the fields of technology, entertainment and design (TED). For the second year running, the man of my dreams (aka The Captain) was the lead audio engineer on the main stage, mic’ing the likes of Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Pollan and Bill Clinton. While you may not be able to experience TED firsthand, you can watch TED Talks from years past. I recommend Sir Ken Robinson's talk on creativity.
Some Quick Thanks
Firstly, thanks to Bill Shribman of WGBH for bringing us a new online program for kids: Meet the Greens. It's well done and very necessary; if you happen to live with a tween, turn 'em on to this one. I'd also like to thank Eric Benson and Re-Nourish for featuring both Roughstock Studios and my Small Failures blog on their site.
Best,
Jess Sand
