Alphabet Plates
Created by a graphic designer, artist and mom-of-three who has designed logo
identities for big and little companies, animated nationally televised
motion graphics, designed titles for motion pictures, and exhibited artwork
in galleries and museums. Plus she's made countless servings of mac and
cheese and done a lot of dishes. Alphabet Plates is a friend to the planet.
The BPA-free plates product line is an environmental answer to disposable
plates. One bite at a time, we can all be less wasteful. They are raising
money for a cause, too. The plates are break-resistant, and we want those
with Brittle Bone Disease to be more break resistant too. When you purchase
the products, a portion of your payment is donated to the Osteogenesis
Imperfecta Foundation (www.oif.org <http://www.oif.org/> ).

Strives to produce people-powered social nutrition labels. Just think food
nutrition labels, but instead of only showing the impact on your health,
these labels will show a company's social and environmental impact. Unlike
many "green" labels out there, they don't build these labels, YOU do. Using
the power of the Web, they provide simple tools to allow consumers,
businesses, and organizations to add, discuss, and vote on credible news,
media, and research to help build the labels.
