First off, let me just get this out of the way: HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!! Ok…moving on.
This weekend I spent some fabulous green time as a judge at Whole Foods in NYC searching for the next Whole Earth Generation spokesperson. If you read my previous post, you know that the Whole Earth Generation is an original online series of 10-minute shows created for kids by kids to help raise awareness for the environment. Now I can’t say anything officially…but I think we just might have found one of our youngins!
On the judging panel with me was Alison Becker a hostess with the mostess from VH1, Rebecca Ulanoff, Marketing Team Leader at Whole Foods, and Hunter Gross- a 12- year-old badass with his own green company. Yeah that’s right…HIS OWN GREEN COMPANY, PEOPLE!!! Hunter and his folks run ProjectKool, a eco-friendly company offering cool and creative canvas alternatives to the boring (and wasteful) paper lunch bags that eventually end up clogging our landfills. Go check out Hunter’s site and help support an awesome green dude!
Big thanks to the team at OrganicWorks Marketing for running everything smoothly and treating us all so well. If you think your kid has what it takes to represent America’s next Whole Earth Generation, visit youtube.com/wholefoodsmarket and submit a video. And…that’s a wrap!
Hey Parrish,
Thanks for the plug! Check out Hunter on Channel 11, Thursday morning, April 3rd @ 7:45 am.
